We can help you sell your property quickly and at the highest price possible.
Here are four things sellers should understand about today’s market to make their homes as saleable as possible:
Time and time again, we find that real estate pricing is very local. That means real estate professionals and homeowners need to closely examine comparables. We have to see what nearby properties have sold for in the past three months. We also look at the competition and what's under agreement. The bottom of the market is probably behind us, but it's hard to know how much your home will sell for today until we study trends in your home's "micro-market".
Online marketing works. Therefore it's important to get high-quality property pics online.
Don't wait for a home inspection. Fix what you can and disclose what you can't. Every home has problems, but disclosing quirks and problems builds trusts and makes selling a property go smoothly. When the buyer discovers defects, there are last-minute re-negotiations, cold feet and sometimes the deal explodes.
There is no more cost-effective marketing than cleaning your home. By "clean" we mean clean, clean, super-clean: A clean and clutter-free property makes potential buyers likely to pay more.
“Using a real estate agent is a very good idea,” says the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). "All the details involved in home buying [and selling], particularly the financial ones, can be mind-boggling. A good professional can guide you through the entire process and make the experience much easier."
What’s the Difference Between a Real Estate Agent and a Realtor?
National Association of Realtors
More than two million people have earned real estate licenses but only a small percentage of these are Realtors. Realtors are members in good standing of the National Association of Realtors, their state association of Realtors and a local real estate board. Realtors are held to high standards of ethical behavior and must undergo continuing education annually to remain accredited.
All agents of Nesbitt Realty are Realtors!
What Does a Realtor Do?
Realtors are required by law to:
perform necessary and customary acts to assist in the purchase or sale of real estate.
perform these acts in good faith and with reasonable care.
properly account for money or other property placed in his or her care.
disclose “adverse material facts” which are, or should be, within the agent’s knowledge.
The MLS is a database of homes listed for sale.
A Nesbitt Realty Realtor will be well acquainted with the important things buyers want to know about your property's neighborhood. When it comes to selling your home, a Realtor will save you time and aggravation. We will get your home on the market instantly with the MLS. When an offer comes in on your property, our Realtor will help structure the deal to maximize your proceeds. He or she will guide you through the mounds of paperwork.
Nesbitt Realty pays for all advertising, schedules all open houses and makes sure potential buyers are qualified. The money they can save you is often more than the cost of our commissions.
