Here are some of the ways we fulfill our commitment to you.

 

   Market Driven Pricing

         Pricing is one of the most important factors in determining the success of selling your home.  Knowing where the real estate market is headed, is critical to making an informed decision when determining a listing price.  Our local real estate market is affected by the economic climate, employment rates and the general growth of the greater Seattle area.  As a licensed real estate broker it is our job to get you the most money possible from your sale in the shortest amount of time.

  • A detailed market analysis, it is important to consider your competition, the days on market in your area and the price per square foot that similar homes have sold for.
  • Price it right the first time, price your home strategically to be competitive with the current market and trends.  Approximately 22% of sellers had to reduce their price because it wasn't competitive with similar properties in the area.
  • Make a great first impression, we will recommend ways to make your home show it's best, from staging to the layout of your home.  You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
  • Overpricing is costly, you will loose the excitement that a new listing generates and your home could be missed by potential qualified buyers that are seeing homes priced competitively in their price range.
  • Avoid appraisal problems, it is not just brokers, sellers and buyers that determine a homes value.  It's also the appraisers that verify an independent value based on market statistics to provide a buyers lender.  If the sale value is higher than the appraisers value the lender can choose not to approve a buyers loan and kill the deal.

   Online Exposure

Over 96% of all buyers research and start their search for homes online.  It is important to optimize your homes presence by having professional photos and well-written, keyword rich descriptions of your property.

   Local Exposure

Having professionally printed, custom marketing materials is a small and often overlooked piece of our marketing plan.  We aim to highlight whats best about your home and give potential buyers informative, attractive, and tangible information to take home.

  • Custom buyer information sheets

   Feedback systems

Receiving feedback from active brokers and buyers that have seen your home and assessed the value proposition it presents is the best way to gauge the market and where your property falls within it. 

  • Showing feedback questionnaire sent to all brokers showing the property 
  • Follow up call to all brokers showing the property
  • Weekly communication to inform you of all feedback from showings
