Aggressive Marketing

When the time comes to list your property with a real-estate agent, you will want someone who will market your home aggressively. This process begins with a market analysis, which involves comparing your home to similar homes in your area that have sold recently. This comparison leads to the formulation of a listing price that both appeals to prospective buyers and assures you, the seller of a proper return on your investment. After that, it is the agent's responsibility to "get the word out", by advertising in newspapers, conducting open houses, listing the property on the Multiple Listing Service, and connecting with buyers and brokers on the Internet. Aggressive marketing translates into increased likelihood of selling your home.

Hint: From interior and exterior shots to virtual tours, pictures sell homes by emblazoning images on the minds of potential buyers.

The initial pricing of a property is critical. An experienced real estate professional utilizes much of the same information as a licensed appraiser in determining an accurate estimation of property value. At VantagePoint Realty, I have a proven track record for determining the highest and best price for properties. Property that is priced correctly and marketed properly will bring the seller the greatest return for their real estate investment. I can assist you in achieving the best results when marketing your home.

Call me to arrange an appointment. My office is conveniently located. I look forward to working with you.

Fizzling FSBOs

Sellers who attempt to sell their homes on their own (FSBOs, For Sale By Owner) largely rely on yard signs, newspaper ads, and open houses to advertise their homes. Other utilize the Internet, which may seem like a good way to reach potential buyers. As the 2003 National Association of Realtors "Profile of Home Buyers & Sellers" survey shows, however, nearly eight in ten buyers who initially used the Internet to search for homes ultimately use real estate professionals to complete their purchases. As many FSBOs learn the hard way, knowing how and where to market a property is an important part of the selling process. Not fully understanding how to best reach potential buyers can lead to costly mistakes.

Hint: Sellers who attempt to sell their homes without the help of real estate professionals usually find that the paperwork required for real estate translations can be complex and very confusing.
