Frequently Asked Questions We’ve Never Heard of Your Company We can understand your concern, and we’re sure you realize a company doesn’t sell a home…it’s the individual agent activities. Our track record shows that we have the skills and experience to sell your home.

Another Agent Said They Could Get Me More Money We are glad you brought this up. An agent that will list your property overpriced is often afraid to tell you the truth up front. Buyers are the ones that tell us what they’re willing to pay for a house like yours, not the agent.

Let’s List High, We Can Come Down Later

Will You Cut Your Commission?

I Have a Friend in the Business

Can We List for a 30 or 90 Day Time Period?

We understand you want to list high to leave room for negotiating, but have you considered the problem it creates for you? Most people won’t even bother looking at properties that are priced too high. Would you rather have a bidding war on your home or not have an opportunity to negotiate any offers at all?

We can appreciate that, and most everyone does. So the important questions is, do you absolutely have to sell this home, or are you looking to do your friend a favor? Obviously you set an appointment with Team Winegarden for a reason.

No. Something to seriously consider is this; Do you really want to be at a disadvantage when marketing your home? We have to market your home to two sets of people, the agents & buyers. We will aggressively market to both.

Team Winegarden doesn’t want to keep you in an agreement if you are not happy with our service. However, our standard agreement is 6 months.

Common Mistakes When Listing Your Home Follow These Steps to Make Selling Your Home A Breeze!

De-Clutter & De-Personalize It’s ok to have some family photos in the home, but let’s minimize it and take the excess photos and posters down. By doing so, this allows the buyer to envision themselves living in the home. Plus it saves you time packing for your move.

Unwillingness to Negotiate with Buyers

Real estate agents are professional negotiators and they have your best interest in mind with everything they do.

No real estate goes without a hitch, so expect negotiations, and expect your agent to work in your favor each and every time. Concessions are sometimes necessary for the sale of occur.

Inability To Show A Home

Unwillingness to Make Repairs

Unpleasant Odors

Overpricing Your Home

Aim to have your property as neutral as possible, including the way it smells. Don’t smoke inside your home, and avoid cooking fragrant foods like cabbage or curry. Even pleasant smells should be avoided in a home because those carry personality and you want to convey neutrality. If you have pet odors, consult a professional service to remove them,

This initial mistake can ruin a perfectly saleable property. We have a good handle on the market and can effectively price your home for a fast sale at a premium price. Team Winegarden has over 15 years of experience.

You must make your home available to as many consumers as possible. If you can’t show your home to a large audience, then your chances of selling it have already significantly decreased.

If a buyer is making an investment on your property, it is certainly within reason for them to have concerns about repairs. The thing is, you have to choose your battles wisely. Some repairs can be more important than others.
