Lake Oconee’s Real Estate Experts Since 2003

Are Zestimates Accurate?

“What is my property worth in today’s market?” And, if you are buying, you’ve most likely seen “Zestimates’’ or other online property value estimates as you are looking through listings. Use caution when relying on these valuations as they can be far from correct in some markets.

Some real estate markets, such as Lake Oconee’s, have a microcosm of their own and the algorithms used by these types of sites do not produce accurate valuations. Many times, these numbers miss the mark on the property’s worth, which will ultimately be a detriment to the Seller.

Overpriced properties languish on the market and many times sell for less than if the price is right from the first day it’s listed- when Buyer interest is at its highest. On the flip side, if the valuation is too low because details of a property are not considered, then the Seller is leaving money on the table.

So what should you do when you’re ready to sell your real estate?

Hire a LOCAL and EXPERIENCED real estate agent to educate you on your specific market. Have them pull comparable data and ask questions about different areas, amenities, etc. Working with a professional in real estate to determine a value of your property could save you time, money and heartbreak if realizing your property is not selling because the price is based on inaccurate information.

The Vining Group with Keller Williams Lake Oconee is comprised of local real estate experts who are ready to assist you in valuating your property as well as ensuring you make a sound investment when purchasing.

HEAR FROM our clients

Jonathan is excellent in planning and executing real estate transactions. He knows the macro and micro market factors impacting real estate and worked with us to develop and execute a successful strategy tailored for us - just as he promised. As offers were made, he thoroughly reviewed each one with us and gave us great advice - always savvy, professional, patient, and courteous. He responds promptly to phone calls, text messages, and emails. He answers questions and ideas (we had many) to our full satisfaction. He cares about exceeding his clients’ expectations and it shows - It often felt like he was selling his own property, never pushy, always thoughtful.

This review is for Adam..... I would give him 100+ stars if I could!! Adam was there for us from the very first phone conversation, of purchasing our property, all the way to closing date. He was very organized and took control of situations that could not be handled on my end as we are out of state buyers. Adam made our real estate experience in Greensboro a fantastic one!! I would recommended Adam and his group to everybody! Adam is also going above and beyond by helping us with the building process of our future home! Thank you again Adam!! Keep up the great work!!

- Anastasia D.

Amazing! I put my trust into The Vining Group and my agent Adam Caldwell when I purchased my retirement home at Lake Oconee. As a team they covered every aspect of the buying process with true professionalism. Adam was extremely knowledgeable about all areas of the lake and made the experience seamless. I would recommend The Vining Group to anyone thinking of buying at Lake Oconee

7 reasons why you should hire a real estate agent when selling your home

The data shows that sellers benefit when working with a local, experienced real estate agent by receiving a higher sales price in less time with fewer problems. Here are some of the reasons why working with The Vining Group is the right choice:

our team unparalleled connections worldwide.

It is a full time job for our agents. In order to obtain the highest price the market will bear, there are several factors that come into play: local market research for values, extensive and target marketing, networking with Buyers and cooperating Agents, setting appointments, negotiating the best deal, and ensuring all milestones and obligations are met to get to the closing table. If your agent is doing things right, real estate is their one and only full-time job. The Vining Group works tirelessly to get the job done successfully and to get our clients the most for their investment.

1

Pricing your property. One of the most important aspects of the selling process is proper pricing. It is essential to set a price that is appropriate (ie. it will appraise), while getting the most money possible for your pocket. It is a delicate balance that takes data knowledge and experience to find. Working with a local agent is even more important in a dynamic market like we are experiencing now. The Vining Group will help you get top dollar for your property and not leave any money on the table.

We will assist with any vendors/contractors who may be needed in preparing your home for the market. We will ensure that your home has the best presentation for photography and for showings to make the most of each opportunity.

4

Agents have access to large networks. It takes more than just listing on websites and placing ads to expose your property to the widest audience of potential Buyers. The Vining Group has been a leader in Lake Oconee real estate since 2003 allowing us to have a rich database of active buyers, as well as other professionals around the country. There have been many times when we’ve instantly been able to connect Sellers with Buyers simply though our ever growing network. Keller Williams is also the largest real estate company on the globe, giving

2

Marketing your property. Marketing is a crucial part of the successful sale of your property. When done professionally and strategically, your property will receive maximum exposure to reach more potential buyers. These efforts will result in more opportunities to sell in a shorter time frame at a higher price. The Vining Group markets all of our listings in a multitude of mediums, including print, digital, and social. We also market your property personally by reaching out to our network and in-person through Agent Open Houses and various other events.

6 Experience in negotiating home sales. In real estate, there are many angles to consider when it comes to negotiations. The current state of the market will determine your best course of action when examining the price and terms of any presented offer. Whether you are considering multiple offers or working through contingencies, your experienced agent with The Vining Group will bring his/her knowledge and expertise to the table to negotiate the best deal for you while handling any obstacles along the way to the closing table.

5

Better home presentation. It has never been truer than in real estate that “first impressions are everything.” Some Buyers will form

7 Paperwork. Paperwork. Paperwork. A real estate transaction involves contracts, obligations, and deadlines. Our capable team from agents to our support staff, will ensure all paperwork is in order, deadlines are met, and obligations of the contract are completed. The Vining Group will be there with you to make the home selling process, and smooth and pleasant as possible.

tips TO A SUCCESSFUL LISTING

The first step for a successful listing is to hire the right real estate team; hiring a LOCAL and PROVEN team will set your listing up for success! When hiring a local real estate team, they will provide you with local, trusted vendors who will make preparing your property to list a breeze!

Starting with the exterior, ensure that all yard clutter is stored: extra hoses, kids toys, and all unused items should be out of sight. Pressure washing the home and driveway will bring out the best facets of your home and makes it look more attractive to potential buyers. Also, a fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase the value of your home. Now let’s talk curb appeal! Keeping your lawn freshly cut and adding fresh mulch or pine straw to garden beds will add to your homes curb appeal and will stand out to potential buyers.

Moving to the interior of the home, declutter, depersonalize and clean! Remove all personalized wall art, excessive furniture and knick-knacks, consider renting a temporary storage unit. A clean, organized home will allow potential buyers to picture themselves living at the property, shampoo carpets, clean and organize cabinets, and always remember the power of a fresh coat of paint!

In addition, ensure that all small home projects are completed, and any repairs that need to be made are done, and done well. For example, tighten any loose door handles, ensure gutters and downspouts and firmly attached, repair any plumbing links or drips, and any other similair projects that might have been put off.

I’ve worked with other lenders in the past, and Lucas was the first that has truly made me feel like he had my best interest in mind. He served as an experienced adviser throughout the entire process and made sure that I fully understood every one of my options and how it would affect me. I would highly recommend Lucas to anyone needing a new home or refinance of their existing mortgage. - Chris
