10 out of 10 homeowners view their property as more valuable than the highest priced sale in their area. The danger of over-pricing a property is that it can ultimately lead to a lower-than-market sale price after sitting on the market for an extended period. The market will react faster to a property priced at a fair market value, or even slightly lower.
If a property is underpriced, the market will correct, just as it will if it is overpriced. An underpriced property that is not effectively marketed will likely only achieve the list price. I always want to create as much activity as I can in order to create a micro-market for the property and ultimately, a competitive, multiple-offer situation.

Once you and the seller have agreed on terms, a sales agreement is signed and the property is officially under contract. Here are the steps that follow:
Your home will be put on the MLS where it can be seen by other real estate agents who are searching for homes for their buyers. Your listing will also be posted on ALL marketing websites like Zillow and Realtor.com where potential buyers will be able to find your home.
A For Sale sign will be placed out in front of your home, as well as Open House signs before an open house takes place.
A lock box will be put on your door once your home is on the market. It's best for sellers not to be present at the time of showings, and a lock box allows agents who schedule showings to access your home with interested buyers.
We will manage the offer process through FinalOffer.com, ensuring all interested parties are alerted when an offer is made on your property, driving urgency back to your home so no opportunity is missed.
An open house will be strategically scheduled to attract attention to your home. Open houses are a great way to generate interest and get more potential buyers to see your home.
We provide professional photography, videography, and floor plans to give your home an advantage over other listings.
Final Offer is our strategy for your home listing beyond the MLS to know we reached every buyer and got every offer for your home. We use Final Offer to get the best outcome for your home sale. For the first time ever, every time an offer is made on your home, everyone will be alerted in real time. Leverage and Control like never before.
