There is a lot of noise in the real estate market about how to sell your home. Many agents will talk about a variety of ‘resources’ they have to sell your home.
What actually matters is:
- How your property is presented
- How it is priced ++
- Timing into the market
- The quality of conversation between your realtor and the buyer.
There are certainly finer points, but these 4 elements will determine how your sale goes.
The Size Myth
There are agents and real estate agencies out there that tout size as an advantage in buying or selling a home. They make vague references to 'resources', 'inter office sales', etc. . . . Current technology makes that a myth. Access to available properties is quick, complete and universally available. In fact, we all use the same systems.
Selling Broker/Agent Value
The real value a broker/agent brings to the sales process is managing the transaction from helping you get your home market ready to managing surveys, mortgages and other technical aspects of a real estate sale. While ensuring buyer access is a part of that, it’s not terribly complicated.
Picking the right offer is not solely about price, it’s about selecting buyers that will make a clean and certain closing. The ability to judge comes from experience - due diligence and instinct.
