Stories of Success

I have the privilege of helping families start a new adventure everyday...here are a few success stories from my clients.

“Our experience with The Nelson Group was amazing.

Talk about quality people all around who truly care for the individuals they are working with. Cannot recommend Jen and her team more! They exceeded our expectations with communication and working hard to get us into our dream home.”

- Colton & Raquel, Phoenix

“Jen is unlike any realtor we have ever worked with. Her work ethic is unmatched. I believe she beat us to every single appointment we had.

Plus, she sent us to dinner afterwards on her! Amazing, you won't be disappointed!”

- Colter & Katie, Arcadia

“Jen is a master at her job. Her knowledge of the area and her expert negotiating skills helped us relocate from Washington with ease. She was able to show us houses through FaceTime and videos. At my request of any listing I was one of the first to see it within hours. In this crazy market we all need Jen as our advocate to find you the best and get you the best price. I trusted her advice 100% and then some. She and her entire staff are available to their clients at all times and really put our interests over just closing any transaction. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the Phoenix metro area!

YOUR HOME SELLING JOURNEY

Selling your home is likely the largest financial decision you’ll make in life; there are many things to consider while preparing for the home sale process. However, it’s also an exciting new chapter. Now is the time to dream big! What is important to you as you think about your next step and creating lifelong memories in a new home? Your home is your sanctuary, and through all the emotions of this process, I’m here as your guide. It’s important to know what to expect as we go through each step and what you can expect of me. With proper preparation and strategy, I can transition your home from fresh on the market to SOLD! During this presentation we will go through each stage of selling your home, from staging to pricing. As your local expert, it is my passion to find the right buyer to maximize your profit. My service and knowledge is here as an asset to you as we work through the process and open the door to your future.

Jen Nelson | JenNelson@RealtyExecutives.com | 602-684-0199 | www.NelsonGroupSW.com

HOME PREPARATION

It is important to put your best foot forward when it comes to preparing your home for sale. Common wear and tear, despite being an easy fix, can lessen its appeal and sales value. We will go through your home and determine what, if any, improvements each space could benefit from and then decide if it makes economic sense to update them. We’ll talk about which improvements are easy enough to handle on your own and which may require hiring a professional. Most importantly, I can help guide you on what home upgrades often have the best return on investment. As your Realtor, I have many contacts in the local community to help you tackle any project!

Curb appeal is always key for potential buyers... so make sure to give them a memorable first impression!

Presenting Your Home to Buyers Is staging a good option for your home?

Professional staging is a great option for preparing your home for potential buyers. You’ve made this beautiful space your home, and now it’s time to show it off! By decluttering, deep cleaning and renovating items that may bring down profitability, you are putting your best foot forward. Staging your home can add that extra pizazz to help us sell your home faster and for more money.

You want buyers to envision themselves in your home!

We have a small staging inventory AND offer an incredible digital staging design studio as well.

Make your home stand out with professional photos and video Once your home is perfectly prepared, I will set up professional photography and videography to capture your property. Using professional photography will allow us to show off what your home has to offer and also allow me to create custom marketing pieces. Additionally, video tours are a great strategy to give buyers a real feel to your space, compelling them to come give it a look in person. Custom formatted videos for 3rd party sites ensures your home will stay top of the list when Buyers search.

STRATEGIC PRICING

Activity

Pricing your home is both a science and an art. Your home’s exposure is highest when it initially hits the market. For this reason, it’s vital that we develop a thorough pricing strategy.

To do this, we must consider the prices of homes in the neighborhood (comparables), adjustments that should be made (increases or decreases) to account for the condition of your home and the timeframe in which you are wanting to sell. If priced accurately, we increase the chances of attracting a qualified, driven buyer quickly. My goal is to maximize your sales price while closing within a timeframe that is reasonable for you.

Pricing correctly helps strike a deal when there is more competition for your home.

Prime Pricing When discussing price, we will need to decide what is most important to you- timeframe or profit? The amount of time your home is on the market can affect market value.

RETAIL Pricing Maximize your possible profits but you’ll dramatically reduce the number of interested buyers and increase the time it takes to sell. Much like a retail store we may have to discount the price to attract Buyers.

Fair Market Value Increases your chances of a faster sale without sacrificing your profits. This is where most people land in this Seller’s Market. Additionally, using a “9” in the first 3 numbers indicates strong value to the Buyers.

Discount Approach With a slight discount below market value – no more than 5% we can dramatically attract Buyers.

Too big a discount and people think something is wrong with it. In this Sellers’ market this isn’t needed as often.

We use several types of print materials to market locally and create awareness of your listing. These materials will address important details of your home including size, price and floor-plans, along with unique features your home has to offer.
