Persons who find themselves in a position to sell real estate are drawn to the guidance of a real estate professional they can trust and count on to "get the job done", to meet at the closing table and know that they've been given a fair assessment of what their property is worth and are happy with the price that's been negotiated on their behalf.
It's said one of the worst things a realtor can do is "leave money on the table" (under value a property). Perhaps the "next worst" thing is to overvalue a property and disappoint a seller because their property doesn't sell.
We work hard to give you an objective and honest assessment of what we think your property is worth, supported by comparable sales data. As always, in the final analysis, property is only truly worth what a buyer and a seller agree to at the time of the sale. There are a great many savvy buyers who have been looking for the right property, but won't allow themselves to be taken advantage of. It's a fine line in some cases between what a seller desires and what a buyer is willing to pay. Over priced properties are difficult to sell, and in the current state of the market, it's more critical than ever to not be speculative if you truly want to sell. If you don't, wait till conditions improve and you can perhaps obtain a higher price. Keep in mind, if a buyer is using a lender, even though you may get a signed purchase agreement at your price, the bank will need the reassurance of an appraisal (and their standards can be tough these days), in order to give the final loan approval. You could be very disappointed if a deal "crashes" because it's discovered a lender doesn't think your property is worth the price that's been negotiated.
Bear in mind too, properties don't sell for a couple of fundamental reasons; there's something inherently wrong with it; location, floor plan, pet odors, deferred maintenance, etc, or, it's overpriced. As a seller, please consider what a potential purchaser's initial impression might be when they walk across the threshold for the first time. "Dime store shiny" is a good goal to set for yourself, and we're happy to advise you what might need to be "polished".
Let us guide you to establish an equitable price, based on the particulars of your property as compared to others like it that have recently sold. Our objective is to find the buyer for your real estate, at the best price, in the shortest amount of time, at the least amount of inconvenience to you, through multiple forms of diligent marketing (internet presence, critical these days, print/media, signs, realtor networking, open house activity, printed information, etc.), and experienced negotiating on your behalf.
Please don't hesitate to contact us and let us give you a fair and honest market analysis for the real estate you find yourself needing to sell.
We promise to keep your interests at the forefront and provide you with uncompromising service from the day we "plant the sign" until the day we can shake hands over the closing table.
