Getting Your Listing Sold!
With listing still being a bit stagnant with the slowly rising housing market, the right listing agent can make all the difference. There are a few key factors that can dramatically increase the chance of salability of your listing.
1. Incentive and/or Alternative Financing Options
When you are listing a home it often means you are looking to buy a new one too. Stretching your dollar as far as it can go is critical during this time of your life. Agents understand that, or they should. Buyer and seller incentives vary because your individual listing is just that—individual.
2. Accessibility
Show-ability, flexibility, and the willingness for an agent to go that extra little ump in order to get your listing shown, buyers interest kept, and to make sure schedules line up so your listing has a steady and responsive number of possible buyers seeing it. Even one that walks away is a resource because they tell us how the showing can be done better.
3. Exposure
Point2Homes, Zillow, Proxio, StreetSeed, HotPads, Homefinder, Oodle, FrontDoor, vast, Cyberhomes, RealTown, PropertyShark, Homegain, Relocation, MilitaryFSBO, CLR Search, Clickable Directories, SecondSpace,and MANY MORE. This is less than a third of the available sites online. Your listing must be EVERYWHERE in order to get seen.
4. Regular Photo Updates
Montana is a place of seasons. Capturing that is a skill and a something that needs to be worked on regularly. Consistency takes time, but it is so valuable that it cannot be pushed aside. With as visual as society is, pictures, many of them! Can draw a buyer in.
5. Imaginative Marketing
Having someone who knows your listing and the specific market it is in is essential to knowing how and where to put it online and in print. Seeing a listing that boasts of 3 bedrooms and 3 baths really doesn’t jump off the page at you but seeing something that reads MADE TO BE ENERGY EFFIECENT AND HANDLES MONTANA WINTERS WITH EXTREMELY LOW COSTS—just maybe that will grab someone’s eye.
6. Market Knowledge
Agents should know the market, but just as imperative, agents should help you learn the market your listing is in. This is not a process separated from you—the seller.
