Effective Pricing Strategy
There are two critical components to achieving the best results: (1) Marketing and (2) Strategic Pricing. Overpricing homes leads to longer list periods and potential loss of interest. Strategic pricing inspires potential bidding wars, resulting in the highest possible price.
