The top priority of the seller is pricing your home appropriately. Approximately 90% of home buyers search for homes online. What is the first thing they search for? Price! There are a few important things to consider when pricing the home to maximize visibility and result: 

  • You want the home to show up in as many searches as possible

Sometimes clients don't understand how GOOD things are! Being a Real Estate professional provides a frame of reference for our transactions. We eat, drink, live, and breathe the market.

We also see miracles that clients only see as a regular part of the business. We just helped some clients sell their home for a great price, in this market, during winter, AND during the holidays. Again, being in Real Estate we understand the significance of such a feat. Their excitement however was somewhat lacking...  

We try…
