Current Buyer's market and selling your home

In contrast to a few years ago, where demand outweighed supply of houses drastically, Buyers were willing to pay for more than the asking price.  As Sellers, you can stick a Post-It on your front door, and within a day, you would have received 20 offers.  Those days are now behind us. Now, when you sell your home, you are competing not just with all the new development throughout the valley, offering financial and upgrade incentives and price reduction, but also and over 20,000 resale homes listed in the MLS as well.  We find houses listed sometimes over 9 months, with prices dropping each month as new ones are added into the system.

Selling a house is a difficult job in a normal market, let alone in the current Buyer's market. You want to sell your home as quickly as possible and at its full value. You must also be aware of state & federal laws and how they affect your sale. You want the most exposure for your listing.  You want excellent representation. You want to work with a REALTOR® who understands the challenges and finding the best strategy for you.

This involves a lot of time, effort, and patience, as well as specialized skills and knowledge. That is why most people turn to a Real Estate Agent for help.

When you sell your home, the Real Estate Agent will work for you as your client. You sign a contract with the Agent, called a Listing contract, and the Agent is usually referred to as the Listing Agent.  The Listing Agent represents you, looks out for your best interest, and receives an agreed commission when the house is sold.

In a Seller/Client relationship, the Listing Agent guides you throughout the Real Estate transaction, providing information on such issues as pricing your home, which purchase offers are fair, and how to structure a purchase contract to your advantage. It is the business of the Listing Agent to help you sell your home with minimum delay and to help you realize every dollar it is worth.

Although your Listing Agent works for you and owes you additional services, the Agent must also treat his or her buyer customers fairly, abiding to strict code of fair trade and ethics stated by the law. The Buyer is generally the customer. There is no contract between the buyer and your Listing Agent.

Today, however, many home Buyers use a Buyer's agent – a specialized Real Estate Agent who is the home Buyer's client, representing the Buyer and works in the interest of the Buyer. This makes it even more important for you to have an expert on your side looking out for your best interests.

What can I do for you? 

I will meet up with you, listen to your needs and what you want.  I will do a market analysis, assess your home to see how it compares to others in your area and share this with you so you can make an informed decision on pricing your home accordingly.  Together, we will map out strategies on the best route to market your home, preparing the home and staging the home for showing, making every effort to make sure it will catch Buyer's interest and attention. Particularly in a Buyer's market, first impression is everything, and you have only got one chance to make that impression. Together, we will plan out a strategy that would be advantagous and acceptable to you. 

I will be honest and upfront with you and give  you my professional feedback.  If we feel comfortable then we can proceed.  The consultation is free. Unless we are in accord, you are under no obligation to work with me as your Realtor®.  And if I do not feel confident that I will be able to sell your house on the terms you would like, I will let you know and suggest you find someone who would.  It is more important to me that we are in agreement, have mutual respect, and that the arrangement is of mutual interest and benefit.
