We often get challenged with statements from competitors like, ‘You get what you pay for.’ Let’s dive into that, shall we? If you’re looking for a big fancy brokerage office that you’ll never go to, or ‘Just Sold’ postcards of YOUR home AFTER it’s sold…Listed Realty probably isn’t a good fit for you. If you…
A question I get asked a lot, ‘should I list now (in the summer) or wait til November or December?’ Condos are the most applicable here, and if your unit is outdated and needs a little love, it’s better to list in the summer. Many buyers will purchase a condo in the summer and make…
1. Zillow Real estate professionals have a love/hate relationship with Zillow. They love it because it showcases their listings to the millions of buyers who use it every month. They hate it because of their ridiculously inaccurate (z)estimates, delayed time property statuses (still have properties listed that have been sold for weeks), and they are…
Last week I focused on organizing & cleaning, this week I’m focusing on interior maintenance. Touch up paint- baseboards, doors, small holes, all the things you’ve been staring at for years and now needs to do and you wish you did a long time ago to enjoy it 🙂 Entry way- sweep and mop if…
As I prepare to sell my home, I thought it’d be fun to share what I’m doing to get it ready before officially going to market, as it can take a couple weeks to a couple months depending on how long you’ve lived in the house. I’m still about 3 weeks away from putting it…
1. Savings. This is probably the biggest drive for sellers to go non-traditional, the reward far outweighs the risk (which really, is the same risk you take when choosing any real estate agent to sell your home). In a world of technology, why are we paying the same thing we did before we had internet?…
For anyone who has a condo on the market right now, you might be asking ‘why haven’t I had more showings?’ We obviously know what a ghost town it is in summer, always interesting to see the actual numbers- over 25% more closings in March than August 2016. These closing numbers are for condos/villas only…
1. I want to be able to negotiate so I’m going to ask WAY over my bottom line If you’re a serious seller, price it to sell from the beginning. This is one of the biggest mistakes sellers make, even in a limited inventory market. You list it too high, after 45 days you’re beginning…
We all know home buyers start their search online, but the stats are crazy. After reading this article I checked my own buyer’s portal on ListingBook- a search portal for my buyers and sellers that pulls real time MLS listings, comps, taxes, etc (email me if you want to get set up, it’s free of…
1. Empty the garbage. The kitchen is most important, but include all bathroom trash cans too. If you don’t have a very convenient spot for the kitchen can, put it in the garage (if you have one). Garbage smells, don’t let your house smell like garbage during a showing. First impressions make lasting ones! 2….
