Be the Best

By
Real Estate Agent with Allen Tate

When you place your home on the market today, be sure that you will face stiff competition for buyers.  It Signis natural for most buyers to think that their home is the best however in the mind of the buyers, it is just one of many choices.

You are competing in many areas including price, terms, condition, availability and visibility.  You are all competing for the same buyers. 

Buyers will be comparing your home in each of these areas to each home they look at during the process.

You must be priced in line with your competition or you will lose points right from the beginning.   Make sure your home is in showing condition at all times and that you make it available for showing.  Showings are a little slower now and you can't afford to miss a showing!  Make sure you have an agent who will keep your home visible to buyers in your area. 

Homebuyers will recognize, appreciate and reward sellers who meet the criteria in order to be competitive in today's market.
