• Fewer buyers will be attracted and fewer offers received. • The property attracts “lookers” and helps competing houses look better by comparison.
• If a property does sell above the true market value, it may not appraise, and the buyers may not be able to secure a loan. • The property may eventually sell below market value.
Determining a Market Sensitive Price An impartial evaluation of market activity is the most effective way to estimate a property’s potential selling price. A Comparative Market Analysis considers similar properties that: Have sold in the recent past • This shows us what buyers in this market have actually paid for properties similar to yours. Are currently on the market • These are properties that will be competing with yours for the attention of available buyers Failed to Sell • Understanding why these properties did not sell can help avoid a house that lingers on the market
How Will Buyers See Your Property? It is important for a property to make the best possible impression on prospective buyers. The following can interfere with a buyer’s appreciation of a property.

Conveying the Story of Your Property Help buyers develop an emotional connection with your home. Every property has a story. We will work to create a captivating narrative around the unique selling points of your home and highlight them to prospective buyers. Buying a home is an emotional experience, and you want any interested buyers to feel emotionally invested in your home.
Questions we will help you answer • Does your property have a unique style? • What about the design and construction? • How would the builder or architect describe the attributes of the property? • Is it in a popular location? • Does the area have highly-rated schools? • Are there compelling neighborhood amenities? • Is it eco-friendly or recently remodeled? • Is it an historic property or near an historic district? • Does your property offer easy access to recreation? We will use the story of your property to decide how best to market your home. Our advanced property marketing will make that story come to life online, in print, and in person. Potential Selling Points • Highly-rated schools
• Views
• Neighborhood Amenities
• Parks and Recreation
• Location
• Historical/Green Building
• Custom Features
• Outdoor Living Spaces
• Access to public transportation
• Proximity to highways

Communications • How often would you like updates, and what is the best way to contact you? Previous Selling Experience • What went well? What would you like to improve upon from that past experience? If this is your first time selling a home, what are your concerns?

Have you made substantial renovations? Relocating • We can assist you in purchasing or moving to a new area or home.

Concerns • What are your concerns with regards to your home and the transaction?
Testimonials
Working with Jane Migdol and her team was an incredible experience! They are not only thorough and professional, but they also go above and beyond in their approach to client service. Their team helped to price my house perfectly for the market, and Jane guided me through every step of the process. I needed some furniture for one room, and she helped me locate temporary furniture, and even found coordinating accessories for me while I was at work! My house sold within two weeks of putting it on the market and I truly credit that to the marketing expertise of the M3 Group. A couple of unexpected issues came up just weeks before closing, and Jane happily helped me manage those, which was a lifesaver as I was packing up the house. I have sold and purchased homes with Jane Migdol more than once, and there’s a reason I keep going back to her....she’s the best!!
We worked with Nancy Moore of M3 group purchasing our 1st house 4+ years ago. She worked with our “first time home buyer” expectations and consulted us on the pros and cons of price, area, resale, and other factors that ultimately led to the purchase of our first home. 4 years later, knowing our growing family needed more space and that we eventually wanted to move closer to extended family in Needham, a simple text notifying me that she’d just seen a house I may love in Needham allowed us to move quickly, see the house, and decide that we just had to put an offer in. She consulted on all of the terms that would make our offer as strong as possible in what would end up being a multiple-bid situation, and we found out that following Monday that... we got the house! It was not only her expertise in putting together a competitive offer, but also knowing the Needham and Metrowest market so well that we we able to get a fair price in a fantastic location. Her demeanor is professional, fun, patient, level-headed, and honest, and she consulted us as if we were her own family. Whether it’s your first home or your forever home, working with Nancy Moore and M3 Group will make your home buying and selling experience joyful and exciting. The golden rule in real estate is “location, location, location”, but I’d argue that it’s “M3, M3, M3”!
We had a great experience with M3 Group. Our agent, Kate Moynihan was professional, knowledgeable, efficient and accommodating. She took great care in helping us price our home appropriately. We had an offer above the asking price the first weekend it was listed! This was an emotional move as we were selling our family home for a relocation and Kate was so helpful guiding us through the process. We moved before the sale of our home and she even made a few trips to the house to confirm for us that the cleaners and landscapers had left the house perfectly for the new owners. We highly recommend M3 Group ... especially Kate Moynihan!
