The competitive nature of the current Real Estate Market means that over-pricing by a few thousand dollars could make the difference between your home selling quickly or not selling at all.

Overpricing your home might mean minimized offers, fewer showings, fewer agent responses, limited financing, limited buyers qualified for your type of home, or a smaller net price. Avoid these outcomes by setting the price of your home at its' market value when you first bring your home on the market.

Any number of the following scenarios could cause a roadblock between you and your goals. Our responsibility to you is to identify potential pitfalls and eliminate them.

There are several criteria you should take into consideration when pricing your home:

• Never select an agent based on price.
• Pricing in rising and falling markets
• Four kinds of numbers used to represent your property
• Regression and progression
• Reasons for overpricing
• The largest impression and most impact a property makes on the market
• Benefits of proper pricing

Contact me and together we'll price your home competitively to attract qualified buyers.
The first step we'll take is to generate a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report,
which will show you a range of prices being paid for homes in your area.

While we all believe that our home is our castle, our personal tastes may not appeal to everyone. I will work with you to provide you with an impartial analysis of your home - how it relates to other "competing" homes on the market and how your home reflects current design and style trends. I'll also closely evaluate the general condition and upkeep of your property.

Together we'll position your home on the market so that the selling process will take place as expeditiously as possible.
