Attracting Buyers

Attracting Buyers How Do You Attract Qualified Buyers? When you list your house, it must attract the attention of qualified buyers eager to get into a property like yours. Otherwise, your house may take longer to sell and you may not get the price you expected. As an expert in the local market, I can get the word out about your listing to all the right people. I know how to attract serious buyers – so a good offer comes in quickly. To achieve that success, I’ll implement the appropriate marketing plan. After all, there’s more to selling a house than hammering a For Sale sign on the front lawn. I’ll work closely with you to create a marketing plan which may include some or all of the following: Taking pictures and gathering the details on your property; Writing a compelling property profile and creating effective marketing materials; Uploading your listing to MLS – the Multiple Listing Service that real estate agents and buyers use to search for properties; Placing advertisements in print or on-line publications buyers use to shop for houses; Showcasing your listing on my popular website; Leveraging the internet and social media to promote your listing; Scheduling and promoting an Open House to attract a multitude of buyers. In addition, I meet with buyers regularly. In fact, the moment your house is listed I get in touch with everyone I know who is looking for a property like yours, and encourage them to schedule a viewing. I also tap into my network of other real estate agents so their clients know about your property as well. My job is to get the right buyers to see your house, fall in love with it, and make a good offer. Want to learn more about how I’ll aggressively promote and market your house?

Handling Details

Your Agent Will Handle all the Details When selling your house, there are few things more exciting than receiving an offer. That means someone is interested in your property and has prepared a formal offer to buy it. What is an offer, exactly? It’s simply a legal document that shows the price the buyer is proposing to pay, which may or may not be the same as your listing price. An offer will include other details, such as the requested closing date, and may also include one or more conditions, such as “conditional on the property passing a home inspection.” Ideally, when you receive an offer, you will want to sell your house to that buyer for the highest price possible. In addition, you’ll want to make sure there are no potential problems that might prevent the deal from closing – such as the buyer being unable to arrange financing. I realize this may sound complicated. Don’t worry. As your real estate agent, I’ll take care of all the details. For example, I will: Review the offer with you and explain everything clearly.  Give you my professional assessment as to the quality of the offer. If there are things that concern me, I’ll point them out to you.  Advise you on whether to accept the offer, reject the offer, or make a counter-offer.  Prepare a counter-offer, if necessary, that gets you a better deal, without risking the sale slipping through your fingers.  Skillfully negotiate with the buyer on your behalf, so you sell your house for the highest price possible.  Prepare all the necessary documents, and work closely with the buyer and his or her agent, to make sure the transaction goes through smoothly.  Communicate with you throughout the entire process. You’re never in the dark when you work with me.  Selling your house for the best price possible is my expertise, especially in this local market.
