There are some things you should be aware of that matter when bringing your home to market. 

What are they?

Well, Jill says there are 4 things that matter.

Let’s start with the first one: location. 

This is something you cannot change. but it definitely is a destination that buyers are either looking for or not. The neighborhood could be great! But it isn’t something you can change. 

The second point is price. 

How are you pricing your home? It’s crucial to have an attractive price for buyers who are looking. They will probably be looking at more than one place, so by having an attractive price you can attract more buyers to look your way. 

A properly priced property will draw buyers into coming to view the home. 

The third important step is marketing. 

This step is crucial because it will also drive buyers to your home. 

How can you implement marketing into driving buyers to your home? 

This is what we do, we have:  

1. professional photos
2. professional floor plans
3. do sneak peeks 
4. walk-through videos

The more you can get in and do, the more people can see themselves in this home and the greater the chance to put in an offer in the home.  

The final step is the presentation. 

A first impression is everything. 

1. What do people see when they come into your home?
2. What do people smell? Does it smell fresh and clean?
3. How is the home staged?
4. Does the furniture fit the space?

 All of these things talked about bring an emotional pull to the buyer, especially when they are walking through your home. This helps them envision themselves living in this space. 

We will have more on these topics of presentation, price, and marketing in upcoming videos, so stay tuned.

Are you planning to sell your home?

It is very important to price your home correctly when coming to the market.

There are 3 things that we do when getting ready to price the property accurately:

1. We want to know what the comparable solds are in the area

This would mean if you are selling in an apartment or condo-style home, having to know what has been sold recently in your building, block, or neighborhood. 

It is the same process for a house, however wanting to know what recently sold on your street and what was recently sold in your area. 

So how long in advance should I check to see what sold in my area? 

You could go back 3 weeks, 6 months, or maybe even longer, depending on what kind of market we are going through.

2. Know what your competition looks like.

A printout of all the homes that are currently on the market in your neighborhood is a good idea to keep track of this information.  

Why should you know this information? 

With this copy of all the listed properties in your area you’ll be able to see where you are slotted in, in terms of asking price. 

3. Know which market you are in: buyers market, seller's market, or balanced market.
