Are you constantly frustrated by the rise and
fall of the market? Are you struggling with determining the true value of your
home? As a homeowner it is very difficult to accurately price your home in an ever-shifting
market. You need a Realtor that has her pulse on the marketplace to help guide
you to make the right decision. Finding the right price is critical to selling
your home and despite the rumors, the process is a little more difficult than
seeing what your neighbor's house is priced at and guessing at your home's
value.
Many people that are left frustrated by this
process will call on my real estate team to help them sell their home. I hear
the same story that they wanted to try and save the Realtor fees by selling it
themselves but find that their house sits on the market for months without a
showing or that people try to take advantage of them during the contract
negotiations. I understand how troubling the process is for homeowners and
sympathize with them as they try to sell their home. It is a daunting process
and everyone needs help. When I step in to help sell a person's home, I look at
many factors to determine the true value of the property. I thought I would
share some of these tips to make it easier for people when we have this
discussion.
Market Value is what a buyer is willing to pay
for your home. The best way to start initially is to look at what homes in the
neighborhood are being sold for. Then you need to factor in the assets of the
home. Pool, multiple stories, home improvement upgrades, corner lot, even
sprinkler systems all factor in to the value of a home.
Another variable is the Price per square foot.
As a realtor we have access to many reports that are not available to the
everyday consumer and we are able to analyze the maximum potential value of
your price per square footage.
The condition of the home and the location is
another major factor to consider. Access to major roads, grocery and schools
play a big decision in the attractiveness of your property, and as a Realtor,
my job is to bring the right buyer to your doorstep.
There are too many selling factors to list in
one article but I take pride in knowing how to price a person's home to get
them the most money for their property. If you need help selling your home or
would like to discuss the best strategy to market your home, please contact me
and I will do everything in my power to help you.
