The Role Of A Listing Agent When a seller chooses a real estate agent to represent them in the marketing and sale of a property, the seller engages in a relationship with that agent to accomplish their mutual goal — to sell the property in a timely manner at the highest price possible with the least anxiety.
Selling your home is an important decision. The person you choose to represent you can make all the difference.
Choose carefully!
A CENTURY 21 Commonwealth agent will: • Assist you in determining fair market value. • Assist you in making your home presentable for sale, offering suggestions about how to best show your home, and what, if any, improvements you should make. • Inform you about laws and regulations including: fair housing requirements, septic regulations, lead paint laws, carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements. • Provide a detailed marketing plan. • Screen potential buyers to make sure they are qualified to purchase your home. • Help you relocate locally, domestically or internationally. • Negotiate the best sale price and terms that are mutually agreeable. • Guide you through the closing process.
In-Depth Market Knowledge
Expert, Experienced Negotiators
Problem Solvers
• Smoke / CO Detectors • Permit Questions • Inspection Issues • Structural Defects • Pest Inspections • Mortgage Contingencies • Appraisal Issues • Short Sale Guidance

Pricing Your Home To Sell Pricing your home correctly is crucial to selling your home in a timely manner at the highest price possible. Current market conditions determine the value. Pricing too high or too low can cost you time and money. • What you paid for your home has nothing to do with its present value. • The value some internet companies put on your property is not always accurate. • Homes you think are the same as yours may in fact be very different. • Our full-time professional agents have seen your comparables and competition - they know the market INSIDE and out! • Ultimately, the market determines the value of your home based on comparisons of homes currently for sale, under agreement and recently sold. • CENTURY 21 Commonwealth has access to the latest technology to always provide you the most current market data available. • Our experienced agents can help you position your home correctly so that it sells for the highest price possible, in the shortest amount of time, and with the least amount of anxiety. • Homes that are not competitively priced, do not sell.
The Effect Of Over-Pricing Improper pricing may also eventually lead to a below market value sale price or, even worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has the highest chance for a fruitful sale when it is new to the market and the price is reasonably established. Buyers and agents lose interest in properties that are priced too high. To generate interest, the price might have to be reduced below the competition. We can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms, and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price and in the best time-frame for you.

The Importance Of Intelligent Pricing Determining the best asking price for a home can be one of the most challenging aspects of selling a home. It is also one of the most important. If your home is listed at a price that is above market value, you will miss out on prospective buyers who would otherwise be prime candidates to purchase your home. As the figure below illustrates, most or almost all buyers
asking price compared to market value +15% +10% market value -10% -15%
purchase their properties at fair market value. The percentage increases as the price falls even further below market value. Therefore, by pricing your property at market value, you expose it to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers. This increases your chances for a sale while ensuring a final sale price that properly reflects the market value of your home.
% of potential buyers who will look at property 10% 30% 60% 75% 90%
Activity vs. Timing Another critical factor to keep in mind when pricing your home is timing. A property attracts the most attention, excitement, and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market. Improper pricing at the initial listing misses out on this peak interest period and may result in your
activity
property languishing on the market.

Pricing Your Property to Sell General Rules... Local Market Observations... Pricing your property correctly is crucial. You want to sell your property in a timely manner at the highest price possible. Current market conditions determine the value. Pricing too high or too low can cost you time and money. Realistic pricing will achieve a maximum sale price in a reasonable amount of time. Analysis of the comparable properties suggested sales price range of: $780,000 to $828,000 Recommended List Price: $799,900
Suggested Price Strategy...
POSITIONING YOUR HOME TO SELL Based on a thorough analysis of the current market and taking into consideration all active listings similar to your home — your competition — and all pending/ under agreement listings plus recently sold properties, the market indicates that the fair market value of your home would be in the range of:
$780,000 TO
$828,000
Preparing Your Home OUTSIDE • Mow the lawn, trim trees and shrubs awayfrom the house. Sweep the sidewalk, rake leaves, remove dead plants, flowers or shrubs. • Put away tools, garbage cans, hoses, toys and building materials neatly in the garage. • Check for broken roof shingles and windows; clean gutters; replace missing siding. • Clean windows and front door; paint if needed. • Reseal asphalt driveway and decks. • Spotlessly clean woodwork, carpeting, floors, walls and ceilings. Pay particular attention to the kitchen and bathrooms. • Consider applying a fresh coat of paint.
• Organize closets to make them appear larger; be sure all clothes are hanging up and not out in the room. • Make sure basic appliances and fixtures work. Fix leaky faucets and frayed cords. • Clear away magazines, books and unnecesary objects from furniture throughout the house. Clear kitchen counters to make the room look more spacious. • Take down pictures that hide walls; patch holes and paint. • Fill the house with a pleasant aroma: freshbaked cookies, or fresh flowers. • Keep pets under control at all times.
