PRICING STRATEGY
UNDERSTANDING YOUR PROPERTY’S VALUE
The existing pool of prospective buyers determines a property’s value based on:
Location, design, amenities and condition
Availability of comparable (competing) properties
Economic conditions that affect real property transactions
Factors that have little or no influence on the market value of a home include:
The price the seller originally paid for the property
The seller’s expected net proceeds
The amount spent on improvements
The impact of accurate pricing:
Properties priced within market range generate more showings and offers, and sell in a shorter period of time
Properties priced too high have a difficult time selling
DANGER OF OVERPRICING
Few buyers are attracted and fewer offers received
Marketing timing is prolonged and initial marketing momentum is lost
The property attracts “lookers” and helps competing houses look better by comparison
If a property does sell above 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

Remove or lock up valuables, jewelry, cash and prescription medications

Be available to review the price/condition of your property if it hasn’t sold in a reasonable period of time.
Contact me at any time with questions or concerns
PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY FOR SHOWINGS
Disassociate yourself from your home - remember your house is a product to be sold
De-Personalize - pack up personal photographs and family heirlooms. Buyers can’t see past personal artifacts, and you don’t want them to be distracted
De-Clutter! - pack up knickknacks, clean off everything on kitchen counters, put items away in bath rooms, organize closets/cupboards, put away toys
Examine carefully how furniture is arranged and move pieces around until it makes sense
Rent a storage unit if necessary - almost every home shows better with less furniture Remove pieces of furniture that block or hamper paths and walkways and put them in storage
Make minor repairs - replace burned-out light bulbs, patch holes in walls, fix leaky faucets, fix doors that don’t close properly and kitchen drawers that jam, replace cracked floor or counter tiles
Make the house sparkle - clean dishes, make beds, empty wastebaskets, vacuum, clean wood floors, dust, clean out cobwebs, wash windows, re-caulk tubs, showers & sinks, replace worn carpet & drapes
Odors are a no-no - clean and air out any musty smelling areas, get rid of pet or smoking odors
Consider painting walls neutral colors, especially if you have grown accustomed to purple or pink
Check Curb Appeal - shovel walkways/plow driveway, mow lawn, trim hedges/shrubs, remove the clutter (toys, yard tools etc), take care of oil spots in driveway, paint if necessary, park car in garage/road
Please provide copies of the past 12 months’ utility bills
(Title Company Will Need This)
Please provide copies of any maps or surveys of the property that you have
