Our Pricing Strategy Setting an optimal price point for your property involves: •

Conducting a detailed, custom market analysis

•

Understanding the unique characteristics and amenities of your home and its location

•

Relying on our expertise in the real estate market and understanding your expectations around timing

We believe this pricing plan, matched with our marketing plan, will draw buyers to your home and position it as a highly appealing, highly competitive property.

The recommended list price is based on relevant properties that have recently sold, have recently expired and those that are currently for sale in your market area.

A home priced at market value will attract more buyers than a home priced above market value. Also consider that a home priced competitively will attract a greater number of potential buyers and increase your chances for an expedited sale.

Setting the Stage Seventy-seven percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.

When staging a home, 29 percent of sellers’ agents reported an increase of one percent to five percent of the dollar value offered by buyers, in comparison to similar homes.

Twenty-one percent of respondents stated that staging a home increased the dollar value of the home between six and 10 percent.

None of the respondents reported that staging a home had a negative impact on the home’s dollar value.

Thirty-nine percent of sellers’ agents stated that staging a home greatly decreases the amount of time the home is on the market.

Twenty-three percent reported slight decreases in the time on the market, while eight percent stated that staging a home did not affect the time on the market.

With today’s tech-savvy buyer, your home’s online presentation is even more important than ever.

Professional photos are key to capturing a buyer’s attention and video is fast becoming one of the most important marketing tools in a real estate agent’s arsenal.
