Selling your home in todays market

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Manor Realty


PRICE
Price is the number 1 factor which will sell your house in this market. If you price your home at or below the current market you will attract more buyers. Homes priced above the market or competitively with other homes sit on the market longer and eventually take more price reductions.

A well priced home attracts the interest of agents and buyers alike and will be shown often and will sell more quickly.

Your agent needs to know where the market has been and where it is going. They will also need to have very good analytical skills to price your home properly and will also need to be able to react quickly to a changing market.


EXPOSURE

Your home needs to be marketed through many different medians that will help your home gain exposure and hit potential buyers 24/7.

Your home needs to have its own website and/or a virtual tour. This allows potential buyers to see your home every minute of every day.

If your agent is not using social media than you should find another agent. This is one of the hottest most effective ways to attract buyers to your property. Examples of social media are:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Blogging
  • Linked-In
  • You-Tube
  • Digg
  • Active Rain

Your agent also needs to place your home on the top real estate websites. My e-marketing platform allows me to easily place your home on the following sites and allows me to give you top placement on these sites: 
If your home is not on these Real Estate websites you are missing out on the savviest buyers who are looking for great homes even in the current market.

My office, Tahoe Riverfront Realty, Inc. is one of the oldest firms in the Tahoe area offering over 30 years of experience. It is important to go with a firm that is well established as these firms have superior knowledge, a deep client base, and are the first stops for potential buyers. Agents that work for these firms have a copious amount of knowledge at their disposal and can best serve their clients.


CURB APPEAL & STAGING
In the current buyer’s market it is more important than ever for your home to have good curb appeal in order to get potential buyers to walk in the door. Without curb appeal your home will not be set apart from the hordes of other listings and it will be more difficult to attract buyers. If you home has good curb appeal you will notice more agents showing your home, you will receive more clicks on your web site, and the home will sell more quickly. Time is everything in a rapidly changing market!

Your house needs to be clean and presentable during the listing period. This does not mean that you have to move out, but it means things need to be tidy and some items will need to be removed to show buyers why your house is so special. Renting a storage space is a great idea to make your house seem less cluttered.

Buyers will notice every little defect, so it is important to fix/repair any major items that will be noticed. These items include:

  • Fixing holes and cracks in walls
  • Removing old wallpaper that is in disrepair
  • Painting rooms with neutral colors to appeal to the masses
  • Replacing missing trim or woodwork
  • Fixing deck issues

Most minor repairs that will help your home show better can be achieved even on the smallest budgets. Your agent should be able to provide you with local handy men or contractors that will help you fix issues if you are not able to do so yourself.

OFFERS

When an offer is presented you will be notified immediately once we have reviewed the offer. We tediously review all offers so that you are made aware of potential pitfalls, built in exit strategies, and to make sure you are being represented to the highest standard.

Daily updates on contract negotiations and what to expect from the buyers.

All inspections that need to be completed before the close of escrow will be set up and monitored as not to delay the close of escrow.

We will also be talking with the buyer’s agent regularly so that the escrow time line is followed and that all aspects of closing the transaction are handled in a timely manor.

Your interests will be protected and you will have a piece of mind that I am getting you the best price possible for your home.

Let's sell your house!!
