PRICING MISCONCEPTIONS//
The price of your home is not determined by:
what you paid
what you need
what you want
what your neighbors say
what another agent says
the cost to rebuild today

The real estate market largely dictates home value - and your agent helps
THINGS THAT DO IMPACT PRICE//
// time frame
// condition of your home
// size of the property
// selling prices of homes nearby
// current economic conditions
// expired home listings with incorrect price
// location
// value of home renovations + updates
// price per square foot

We do not set the price of a home. We determine Value.
Understanding Market Value //
The longer your home is on the market, the more your market value may decrease. When the price is correct, Buyers who are ready to buy typically take action quickly.
Our intention is to attract these quality Buyers who are ready, willing and able to buy your home.
