“How to Sell Your Home Fast For The Highest Possible Price!”


You’ve made the decision to sell your property.  You want to sell it at a price which meets your objectives in the shortest amount of time.  How do you select a broker for the job?  

You should look for a broker who offers specific benefits that directly benefit you.  You need a broker whose primary focus is on helping you sell your property.  Most importantly, you want a broker who is honest and professional. 

"You have our personal guarantee that we will do everything possible to represent you with integrity, quality, and professionalism, and provide constant communication on the status of your real estate transaction."

Our goal is to meet your objectives in the least amount of time possible.  We will help you achieve your goals through the use of:

  • Unique professional expertise
  • Proven marketing techniques

  • Effective communication and diligent follow up


When hiring a listing broker, you are actually hiring 3 service providers in one.

1. First, you are hiring someone to help you price your home for sale. 

The initial pricing of your home is the most important decision you will make when it comes to the success of your sales effort. To save time and money, you will need to price it right the first time. That's why before we will accept your listing, an appraiser with our sister company, Pack Appraisal Company, will prepare a Pre-Listing Appraisal on your property. Best of all, this valuable service is FREE! You will be provided with all the information needed to make an informed decision on the pricing and strategy that meets your goals and objectives.

A property’s list price has the greatest influence on the resultant marketing time and selling price.  A property which is priced right sells fast!  Alternatively, properties which are priced too high often sit on the market for extended periods, which can lead to market resistance that results in a lower sales price than if the property was priced competitively to begin with.

Overpricing a property can be a costly and emotional error.  Don’t take the chance pricing your property incorrectly.  Whether you list with Advantage or someone else, make arrangements to price your property with an Advanced Market Analysis

2. The second and most obvious party you are employing is a broker and an organization to market your home. 

A multi-faceted marketing program is necessary to ensure that your home will sell as quickly as possible.  Simply planting a sign in your front yard and running an ad in the paper does not expose your property to a significant portion of the marketplace.  Quality brokers have the tools to market your property to many more qualified buyers, as well as to the entire brokerage community.  Most importantly, a broker will list your property in the local Multiple Listing Service, exposing your property to over 400 brokers and 1,000's of potential buyers.

We will make sure that every serious buyer in the market knows your property is available no matter if that buyer is:

  • Looking on their own
  • Using a Broker
  • Looking in newspapers
  • Driving through Your neighborhood

3.  The third party you are hiring is a professional to guide you through the negotiation of the contract and completion of all required legal paperwork to achieve a successful closing. 

This is a time consuming process which requires extensive knowledge of real estate and attention to detail.  You need a broker to prepare a strong contract that clearly addresses the many details of the transaction and to oversee the many details that must be handled to achieve a successful closing.

There are three factors that influence the price and timing of a property sale:

1. Price
2. Condition
3. Realtor

What’s most important - YOU control all of these!


Price

The Listing Price is the most important factor that will affect the resultant sales price and time it takes to sell your property.  Read more about Setting the Correct List Price.  If you haven’t viewed it already, check out the benefits of an Advanced Market Analysis!


Condition

There is a difference between how you market a home and how you live in it.  That’s why it is important to make your home as enticing as possible to all prospective buyers.  A “well polished” house appeals to more buyers and will sell faster for a higher price.  This is what Realtors call “staging” a home.  We can give you suggestions on various ways to make your home show better, but you are in control of the marketability of your home.  Be sure to view Tips To Enhance Your Homes Resale Value to find out more about staging your home to sell!

This brings us to another thing you need to do to successfully sell your home.  Most people become quite emotional about selling their homes.  The thought of selling your home may bring on deep feelings of uncertainty, sadness, joy, fear, and excitement.  You need to realize that selling your home is a dollars and cents business transaction, and you need to put your emotional attachments aside.


Broker

You want your home to be extensively presented to the marketplace, and you want it offered in its best light.  Look for a broker with an extensive marketing program which utilizes professional marketing materials.  Your broker advises you on negotiating strategies, contracting tactics, and closing proceedings.  You need a broker with the experience and resources to represent you in the sale of your property.  Advantage Real Estate takes your property to market with an extensive marketing campaign and uses their experience to advise you on contract negotiations and closing requirements.
