Gaining A Competitive Edge


Sellers can no longer stick a "FOR SALE" sign in their front lawns and open their doors to the highest bidder. Today's market conditions require that sellers work to gain a competitive edge over the competition. To best accomplish this, sellers should enlist the services of a knowledgeable agent, who knows how to price and market a home aggressively. Experienced agents recognize that this means leaving nothing to chance that may compromise a sale, even if this requires the seller to paint walls, eliminate clutter, improve the landscaping, and fix leaks. Once prospective buyers are presented with a realistic price that gets them in the door, a home that stands out from the rest helps seal the deal.
A good real estate agent knows the local market and provides open and ongoing communication with you, the client. They will give you a fair evaluation of what your home is worth, based on recent comparable home sales in your area. My office can market your property. Conveniently located, I will tell you exactly what you need to do to make your home saleable.
I am fully licensed in NY and MA. I offer complete services to my clients and customers, including marketing and listing homes, representing buyers, offering information on homes in the area and referrals to the best Mortgage Brokers, Inspectors, Appraisers, and Builders.
Hint: To price your home correctly, it is important that a real estate agent review the most recent sales prices of properties in your area, as well as take into account the asking prices of competing properties in the surrounding area.
