SELLER CONFIDENCE SYSTEM
If you have been thinking about selling your home in 2023, but you are worried about the shifting market, ask us about our Seller Confidence System. Our agents have been trained in a specific program to help home sellers maximize their profit while providing peace of mind in our current real estate market.
WHY IS THE SELLER CONFIDENCE SYSTEM IMPORTANT?
Many real estate agents who joined the profession between 2020-2022 do not have the experience level needed to work in the shifting real estate market of 2023. Immediately after the global pandemic began, the real estate market began the hottest sellers’ market that we have ever seen. Many agents only needed to put a listing into the MLS and put a sign in the yard and they would find the home selling within a week for a price above the asking price.
Now that the market has returned to pre-pandemic levels, agents are finding themselves going back to the things we did before the roller-coaster of the pandemic real estate market. This includes everything from interpreting the comparable sales reports, pricing the home correctly, staging, professional photos, and lots of marketing both before and during the listing timeframe. Additionally, there are rules that agents must follow regarding pre-listing marketing that are required by the National Association of REALTORS.
The combination of these items, is the reason that you need a REALTOR who has the experience and education to best assist you in getting top dollar for your home (and in a timely fashion) during this time.
MY HOME IS LISTED AND IT’S NOT SELLING – WHAT SHOULD I DO?
If your home is currently listed for sale, your first action is to talk to your real estate agent. Hopefully they are contacting you each week with an update on what is happening in the real estate market. This allows you to be most informed on trends in pricing, new listings that have entered the market, and number of showings happening in your price range. As a seller you may need to consider making some changes to the home such as paint, flooring, or staging. Additionally, you need to be sure that your agent has uploaded professional photos of your home. Of course, you could consider a price reduction in order to entice a buyer to submit an offer too.
THE SELLER CONFIDENCE SYSTEM – IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
All agents are not created equally. You deserve an agent who is prepared to best assist you in selling your home. As your agent if they have any of these items:
· Certified pre-owned home program
