Sell Your Home
If you’re a seller, you need knowledgeable honest advice
on pricing, market timing and an experienced
professional deeply involved in the particular market
that you are in. The liabilities today in selling any
property are huge, much greater than even five years
ago. An experienced real estate professional can help
insulate you as a seller from the potential pitfalls and
help lower the risks.
The real estate market is ever changing; we believe that
each particular property presents its own marketing
criteria and challenges. The more distinctive a property
is, the more independent the marketing challenge
becomes. At Flint Creek Real Estate we do an upfront
outline on each property we list, we have a marketing
plan for each individual property. We believe, and have
the record to show, that this is the best approach
rather than the standard “list and wait” of other
companies. In the market such as Northeast Oklahoma and
Northwest Arkansas over 70% of the time, a parcel is
sold as a direct result of farming by the agent. What
this means is success is from diligent hard work by the
Real Estate Professional. In other words, if you pursue
the sale on your own or list with a non-progressive
company, you are missing 70-85% of potential purchasers.
The Right Price Means a Successful Sale
Pricing your home is both an art and a science.
Achieving optimal price is the result both of objective
research into comparable properties and market
instincts.
The Right Price Should:
Attract buyers
Allow you to earn the most money possible
Help you sell as quickly as possible
The simple fact is, price is the number one factor
that most homebuyers use to determine which homes they
want to view. And it’s important to remember that,
although you set the price, the buyer determines the
value of the home. Try to avoid allowing your enthusiasm
to impact you’re better judgment overpricing is a common
mistake that can cost you in the end.
Before The Showings Begins
First impressions are lasting impressions. The
exterior of your home often determines how buyers will
view the interior, so:
Make sure the front entrance is clean and
inviting.
Paint or replace your front door if it’s faded or
worn.
Add some paint or shutters, trim and other outside
feature showing signs of wear.
Buyers often see the surface condition of your home
as a sign of what’s underneath, so:
Keep windows and floors clean.
Repaint walls in a light neutral color.
Clean carpets.
Put your home in the best light
Strategically lighting your home, even during daytime
showings, can create a cozy mood and highlight positive
attributes of each room. After the showing begins leave
the selling to the professional. Buyers often feel
uncomfortable in the presence of a homeowner.
A professional Realtor is trained to guide the homeowner
through the entire process of selling a home by
providing accurate and up-to-date information on pricing
the property, objectively evaluating what if any changes
in the home that might be needed, bringing qualified
buyers and assisting the seller all the way through
closing.
