Price your home to sell!
Because sellers want to realize as much equity as possible when selling their homes, they naturally are inclined to price their homes higher, thinking they can always come down in price later. However, a listing price that is too high frequently nets the seller LESS money than an original price at market value. Why is this? The homes that sell quickly command the highest prices.
- If you price your home too high, the folks who would buy your home won't see it and the folks who see it, won't buy it.
- Most buyers work with agents and have researched the market on the internet. They have become amateur-appraisers.
- The ready-to-buy buyers will see your home first and already have seen the current market place and the "competition."
What do Ginny and Tim Do? We will provide a complete CMA or competitive market analysis on your home to include recently sold properties in your immediate neighborhood—even those not on the MLS, sold properties similar to your property, market trends for the past 12 months, and competing properties. We visit the competition before completing our CMA for you. Together we will arrive at a listing price for your property.
We don't like ugly surprises after the purchase agreement is signed, so we make sure that the appraiser sees our comparables and your home's feature sheet so there is no doubt about the value of your home!
