Pricing Strategy is Paramount to Success

The Bottom Line - Realistic Pricing IS Strategic Pricing

The market changes daily and has a large number of elements to pay attention to. In order to pick your home’s perfect price range, all pre-listing and preparatory steps that can enhance the value, should be taken first. Then I use the following list of factors to calculate a competitive market analysis to help you choose the right figure:

 This analysis needs to be made strictly from homes that can be considered comparable to yours.

  • Comparable properties that are currently listed
  • Comparable properties that have recently sold
  • Comparable properties that have sales pending (if available)
  • Comparable properties that did not sell

reliable and professional advice


Professional Photography Pays Off

Don't Let Your Home's Marketing be Marred by a Smartphone Realtor. I only works with photographer’s who use all the best equipment to add both space and depth to your home’s rooms and contours. Professional quality equipment also eliminates glare from worktops and windows and can even borrow light from adjacent rooms, making your images all the more impressive. Top-notch photography enriches your homes’ best features and will ensure it stands out. Don’t settle for less.

 

An Honest Home Inspection Plays an Invaluable Role

Keep the Upper Hand in Negotiations. I frequently recommend that you hire a top quality home inspector to help you identify any potential problems early on. This gives you time to fix them, or provide the proper disclosure to buyers to maintain the upper-hand in negotiations and avoid situations that can delay or hamper them.

Reliable Advice and Access to Recognized Repair Professionals

The Right Advice and Capable Professionals are Essential. Hopefully you know your own contractors you trust. But, if you need help, I have a long and impartial list of leading tradesmen who can help you with any repairs that together, are deemed to be worth the investment. Most importantly, because I understand the best items to renovate, repair, and repaint, my advice can often help you earn more when selling your home.

Cleaning and Staging Can Pay Big Dividends

FACT: Staged Homes Sell Faster and for More Money. Ideal arrangement of furniture and fittings will give your home more light, space, and an inviting flow so that viewers will be enchanted as soon as they walk through the door. 

 This is an important step in the sales process. Effective basic staging and cleaning doesn’t take much effort. Especially when you consider the significant difference in the speed and sale price that they can make. Rest assured I am extremely capable and confident in this area, which is so absolutely crucial to your success.

First-rate Negotiations Skills

Can Make All the Difference


Expert Negotiation Skills are Essential to Optimize the Terms and Sale Price of your Home

Every negotiation is unique, because of numerous market factors and segments, as well as the principals and agents involved. There’s a large variety of strategies to negotiation and associated risks that come with each one. What works perfectly in one scenario may fail in the next. 

 Some important basic rules are to protect your own cards, while learning as much as you can about the other party and their agent, be agile, attentive to changing situations, and keep strategizing for the best way to proceed as the negotiation develops.
