The Importance of Pricing

You want and deserve to get the highest price possible for your home. That's why I thoroughly research the current market to determine what the highest reasonable price is for a given property. Here are a few hints on setting the right price:

• Your home's value will be influenced by recent selling prices of comparable homes in your area. After reviewing the selling prices for such homes, we may also need to adjust the listing price to reflect your home's condition and amenities as well as current market trends.

• How many properties comparable to yours are currently on the market? The larger the number, the more competition you will have for buyers.

• Buyers see an average of 12 properties before they buy. They usually become very knowledgeable in their price range, and they often purchase by comparing the properties they have seen. Unreasonable listing prices, therefore, are an immediate turn-off to most buyers.

• Expired and canceled listings can be helpful indicators of properties that were over-priced.

• The best way to get top dollar for your home is to price it competitively. This will help you sell faster and get the full market value.

• The second best way to get top dollar for your home is to ensure that it is neat, clean, and in optimal showing condition. I will help you identify decorating and cosmetic improvements that could make a big difference in the price your home will command.
