Our mutual objective is to sell your home:
› FOR THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE › IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME › WITH THE MOST FAVORABLE TERMS
With any marketing strategy, it is important to research the market conditions that are currently influencing home values. “Market value” is the highest price at which a property will sell on the open market, given a reasonable time period to find a qualified buyer.
What a property is truly worth (whether that is higher or lower than the selling price) and what prospective buyers are willing to pay for it is known as the “Fair Market Value” — as buyers are influenced by criteria such as:
• Location of the property
• Condition of the property
• Buyer demand
• Prices of similar properties on the market
• Recent sales of competitive properties
• Availability of financing
Typically, market conditions are not in your control, but choosing to work with an agent who has extensive experience in the local market, a respected reputation, and implements a proven, comprehensive marketing strategy could make all the difference in maximizing the true value of your home.
Enrica is wonderful: with a deep market knowledge and a wonderful demeanor she helped us throughout the whole selling process, from prepping the house to assessing the offers.
I couldn’t have asked for more. Enrica was super professional and friendly at the same time and she really helped us to get the best money and terms on selling the house in an incredible short time. I highly recommend anyone to work with Enrica. She’s the best.
Enrica was the listing agent on my house. I can’t say enough positive things about how professional, thorough, and detailed she was, constantly keeping me updated on market conditions. I always felt she had my interest at heart at all times. If she had one ‘fault’ it’s that she’s too honest. Having been a builder most of my life, I can attest to the difficulty of finding an honest real estate broker. She’s a diamond in the rough.
Pricing is directly influenced by global events, national economics, and, most importantly, local market conditions. Local market dynamics dramatically influence the price and positioning of a property because real estate tends to work in micro-markets.
How a home is priced directly impacts the volume of potential buyers that a home attracts. Pricing can be a strategic positioning tool:
When a property is priced a little below relevant properties in order to stand out and create a sense of urgency in buyers that generates offers and momentum.
When a property is priced in-line with the relevant comparables, especially in parity with those that are currently under contract.
A traditional strategy when we list higher than the relevant properties while leaving room for negotiation.
Selling your home can be a very exciting experience, but it can also be an emotional one. As a real estate professional, I have found the best way to sell a home is through partnership and teamwork — combining the understanding of your requirements and goals with my knowledge, expertise, effective marketing strategies, and extensive resources.
Together we will:
• Prepare for the “Window of Opportunity”
• Leverage the attributes of your location
• Prepare and present your home ready for sale
• Highlight your home’s features through professional photography
• Showcase your home to the market through professional and strategic marketing
• Maximize the exposure of your home through our extensive network
• Leverage the brokerage’s reputation and recognition
• Cooperate and communicate to maintain your home’s perception of value
• Promote your home locally, nationally, and internationally
• Maximize your home’s web exposure
• Prepare your home so that it is always ready to be shown to potential buyers
• Discuss and review the market’s analysis of your home — feedback is essential to know the perceived value and potential for negotiation
• Finalize your sale
• Find your next dream home
The “Window of Opportunity” is the period in which your home will receive its maximum exposure — typically when it is new on the market.
In order to capitalize on this window, it is crucial that your home is ready for sale: priced at Fair Market Value, prepared to showcase its features and attributes, and a marketing strategy is implemented to further increase exposure.
MAKING THE MOST OF INITIAL INTEREST
According to real estate convention, the three most important criteria to consider when buying a property are:
In fact, buyers are often attracted to a general location, a neighborhood, or even a certain street well before settling on a specific home. Understanding your location’s positives and negatives is important when determining list price and in the marketing of your home. Misconceptions, preconceptions, and knowing the nuances of your home can make a significant difference in how the home is marketed, when it’s shown, and how it is positioned — one person’s displeasure may be another’s delight!
First impressions are lasting. Preparing your home is one of the most difficult, emotional, and critical steps to maximize its value. Together, we will review, recommend, prepare, and create an environment that is appropriate for the type of buyer looking to purchase your home. No matter how stunning, loved, or well-maintained your home, it is important that you view it with critical objectivity, and whether it needs simple changes or major repairs, these should be addressed before the home is listed.
Photography must reflect your property. Whether in print or on the web, these photos are often the first impression that a potential buyer will receive. A photoshoot is the time when a home must shine — both figuratively and literally. A fully prepared home that is clean, tidy, with clear sightlines, and shot in its best natural light will speak volumes to the viewer before and after the home is visited.
Using current technology helps showcase the true essence of the property and its environment. Lifestyle videos, 3D virtual tours, and aerial drone footage provide a realistic depiction of the intended space and livability.
According to The National Associate of REALTORS®, 83% of buyers’ agents say that staging makes it easier for buyers to ‘visualize’ the property as their future home, and 44% say it increases the dollar value offered. Additionally, 53% of sellers’ agents say that staging a home decreases the amount of time a home spends on the market.
Sophisticated and professionally prepared marketing is essential to maximizing your home’s exposure and requires more than just listing the property for sale on the internet and multiple listing service. It needs to be a carefully prepared, strategically implemented plan. Your home must become a highly prized item — launched on the market with maximum impact to create the right exposure and reach the right buyers.
The trusted yard sign is the #1 way to show your home is for sale. It is fast, effective, and easy to spot. Directional signs help guide people to the home.
Broker tours and open houses are ways that other real estate agents see your home and recommend it to their potential buyers. This is why preparing the home is so important — sometimes real estate agents are more particular than buyers.
For some homes, local advertising is not sufficient — unique homes need exposure to an elite prospects. The RE/MAX Collection listings syndicate to a number of real estate online publications such as wsj.com, marketwatch.com, uniquehomes.com, mansionglobal.com, and barrons.com.
Real estate agents have a large database at their disposal, especially their networks with other agents. Referrals are especially important in the luxury market, as you will want to work with a well-respected agent with an extensive network of contacts.
Posting your home on various social media platforms is a powerful way to increase the exposure of your home to an extremely large pool of potential buyers.
The power of showcasing your home and its unique features though sophisticated and professionally designed marketing material, such as property brochures, flyers and feature cards, is important to setting your home apart from the competition and enhance its perceived value.
Your home needs to be ‘show ready’ at all times, which can be difficult to balance if you are still living in the home. However, we must ensure preparations are done up front — unnecessary items are removed, space has been created, and a plan is implemented for the best times to show the home; the final prep and inviting touches are easy for me to add around your busy schedule.
When agents show the home to their qualified buyers, they will have high-quality brochures detailing the features in further details, along with feature cards that highlight additional, less obvious aspects of the home.
Every buyer will be pre-qualified. Upon request, I’m available to personally attend all showings, offering a guided tour that highlights key features and nuances of your home to help maximize its perceived value.
I will provide a comprehensive analysis to reports number of showings, online exposure and open house traffic evaluating buyer and agent feedback and assessing the impact of my marketing efforts on your home. These details will help me formulate actionable recommendations and objectives.
Negotiation strategies are more relevant and complex than ever in this dynamic real estate market. This is where preparation meets success.
A myriad of details must be attended to before the sale becomes final, including offers, counter offers, inspections, disclosures, contingencies, loan documents, insurance, mortgage approval, and escrow items. This final step can be overwhelming with all its moving parts. Whatever the next step may be, know that I am here to guide you through this final process — to keep in constant communication, track the proceeding, and keep things on schedule.
I can’t say enough about the great experience I have had working with Enrica. She helped me sell my prior residence and purchase my current home. Throughout the process, I relied on Enrica’s expertise, attention to detail, and great communication skills. She is an excellent negotiator, and I always knew she had my interests in mind. My new home search was extensive. Enrica was patient and flexible in guiding me to properties that were the best fit - based on requirements, budget, and intangibles. She does that by really listening to her clients and providing honest and on-point feedback. A five star experience, without a doubt.

If you are looking to buy or sell another property, let my knowledge of your requirements, needs, likes, and dislikes be the foundation of a new search — from finding the perfect buyer to locating your next perfect dream home.
It takes more than just searching for a home on the Internet, so allow my extensive network of connections, strong marketing skills, and exceptional knowledge open the right doors.
In the search for your perfect home, we must define the goals and reassess your requirements so that we approach the search with complete insight. This will enable the creation of an appropriate action plan and expected timeline.
• Where are you thinking of moving — local or out of state?
• Do you have a budget?
• What do you and your family need from your next home?
• Are you looking for a turnkey or renovation property?
• What are your essential requirements during our search?
• Are there any financial considerations?
• When is the ideal time for you to move?
This information will enable a qualified search. Equally, it is important to ensure that we research the true value of homes and that their current selling price reflects an amount that the property is “worth” to you.
When helping you look for a property, I will make recommendations based on my experience, local knowledge, and my access to a variety of technology, a wide network of area agents, and homes not yet on the market. A comparison chart and thorough, objective inspection of each home, combined with such factors as market data and resale potential, will help in narrowing your search. By building a checklist, we can better evaluate each home and review together the important criteria of homes visited.
And when you find that perfect home, I will help negotiate the best offer based on the condition of the home, length of time it’s been on the market, activity, location, and urgency of the seller. Ultimately, I will protect and represent your best interests.
Our house would not have been possible without Enrica!! She is someone who comes with excellent local knowledge, takes the time to understand the client needs and understands the process very well. In our case, we had few very specific concerns regarding the property and she was with us every step of the way to resolve each of them, including visiting government offices, checking the records, negotiating with the sellers, etc. She also helped us with a lot of local contacts to facilitate the move into the house and went way beyond her scope of work. I have already recommended her in my network! Thanks for all your help, Enrica!
