Pricing How to Get the Highest Price For Your Property, in the Least Amount of Time!

Pricing Approach WE INTEND TO SELL YOUR PROPERTY! We strive to help our clients get the most money in the shortest period of time. By reviewing competitive properties and recently sold comparable properties, we will provide you with a price the market will bear. Our Pricing Approach will allow us to exceed the suggested market value: IS YOUR PRICE ON TARGET?

How You Control the Sale of Your Home There are FOUR Reasons a Property Sells LOCATION PRICE CONDITION REAL ESTATE AGENT You have no control over the location of you home, but its location helps determine the value. You control this! The right price can only be determined by a well researched computerized market evaluation. As a home seller, you should get a written market analysis comparing you home to similar properties that have recently sold and those currently on the market. You control this also. Your home s condition is vital to a sale. A clean, wellmaintained home enjoys a competitive edge over all the other homes on the market. You will sell faster and at a higher price if you stage your home to enhance appeal. The Real Estate Agent advises you on market conditions, pricing, staging recommendations, contracting, financing, title work, appraising and closing activities. Just as you insist on an experienced well-prepared doctor to treat your family, you want a Realtor with a proven track record who does his homework representing you in the sale of your home. This is the reason so many people choose The Stanfield Group!

Some Thoughts on Pricing Statements Frequently Heard From Sellers That Really Have Nothing To Do With The Home s Value Another agent said it was worth more. People always offer less than asking price The buyers can always make an offer. My neighbor was able to get his price. We paid more than that for our home. Other Factors That Do Not Affect Value Your Original Purchase Price Improvements Made for Enjoyment, Not Resale The Owner s Need for Money The Cost to Rebuild it Today The Seller s Personal Attachments to the Property

Dangers of Overpricing Your Home (Overpricing Can Be Costly) You will lose the excitement that a new listing generates. Realtors are working w/buyers who have seen what is currently on the market and are waiting for something new to be listed. Therefore, the most activity will take place in the first 30 days. You will lose the most qualified prospects! Buyers will not just make an offer because they probably will never see your property. They will only view the properties that are priced within their purchase range. Overpricing helps sell other more competitively priced homes first! Your home may be used to demonstrate the good value of other properties. Your home may become stale on the market. Prospects may wonder why it has been on the market so long or if something is wrong with the property, even after you lower the price. If you do get an offer, the contract may fall through because of appraisal problems. The lender must justify the price on the market.
