Pricing Misconceptions It is very important to price your property at competitive market value at the signing of the listing agreement. Historically, your first offer is usually your best offer. WHAT YOU PAID
WHAT YOU NEED
WHAT YOU WANT
WHAT YOUR NEIGHBOR SAYS
WHAT ANOTHER AGENT SAYS
COST TO REBUILD TODAY
Buyers & Sellers Determine Value The value of your property is determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay and a SELLER is willing to accept in today’s market. Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing your property to other property SOLD in your area.
Pricing Factors IMPORTANCE OF INTELLIGENT PRICING +15%

As the triangle graph illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value than above market value. If you price your property at market value, you are exposing it to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers and you are increasing your opportunity for a sale.

Timing is extremely important in the real estate market.

It has the greatest opportunity to sell when it is new on the market.
A property attracts the most activity from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed.

OPEN HOUSE fact - doesn’t actually help SELL….HEADLINE “Door closes on era of open house” April 23, 2011 Mark Puente Published: April 23, 2011
The open house, long a staple of the real estate industry, is fading as potential buyers increasingly shop by computer and smart phone. Before the digital revolution, open house sigsay ons littered street corners. There are far fewer today, which is fine by many real estate agents. They, open houses attract unqualified buyers and people who view houses just for fun. "I haven't held one in years," said Rae Catanese of Prudential Tropical Realty in Tampa. "You don't know who is walking in the door. A lot of clients don't want random people walking through their house. It's a safety concern.“ She holds open houses only at a customer's request. The National Association of Realtors urges agents and owners to take extra security precautions before opening homes. And many buyers prefer to show their houses only to serious buyers, given the turmoil in the housing market. Technology has also changed Realtors' daily routines. The days of driving customers to 10 houses in one day are over.
Added Value? Home Warranty Plans
Home warranty plans go a long way to alleviate some risks and concerns. For a modest price, the seller can provide to the buyer a one year warranty covering specified heating, plumbing, electrical, water heater or appliance breakdowns. Coverage under most plans commences at closing. In all cases, there are important limitations and exclusions (example: appliances/systems must be operative at commencement of coverage).
