listing | pricing your property.
Every homeowner wants to make sure they maximize their financial
reward when selling their property. But how do you guarantee that
you receive the maximum value for your property? Here are two
keys to ensure that you get the highest price possible.
1. Price it a LITTLE LOW
This may seem counterintuitive, but let’s look at this concept for a moment. Many homeowners think that pricing their homes a little OVER market value will leave them with room for negotiation. In actuality, this just dramatically lessens the demand for your house.
Instead of the seller trying to ‘win’ the negotiation with one buyer, they should price it so that demand for the home is maximized. By doing this, the seller will not be fighting with a buyer over the price but will instead have multiple buyers fighting with each other over the house.
2. Use a REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL
This, too, may seem counterintuitive. The seller may believe that he or she will make more money without having to pay a real estate commission, but studies have shown that homes typically sell for more money when handled by a real estate professional.
Research by the National Association of Realtors in their 2018
Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers revealed that, “the median selling price for all FSBO homes was $200,000 last year. However, homes that were sold with the assistance of an agent had a median selling price of $264,900 – nearly $65,000 more for the typical home sale.”
BOTTOM LINE
Price your house at or slightly below the current market value and hire a professional. This will guarantee that you maximize the money you get for your house.

In order to accomplish all three goals, a seller should realize the importance of using a real estate professional. We realize that technology has changed the purchaser’s behavior during the home buying process. According to the National Association of Realtors’ latest Profile of Home Buyers & Sellers, the percentage of buyers who used the internet in their home search increased to 95%.
However, the report also revealed that 95% OF BUYERS THAT USED THE INTERNET WHEN SEARCHING FOR A HOME PURCHASED THEIR HOME THROUGH EITHER A REAL ESTATE AGENT/BROKER OR FROM A BUILDER OR BUILDER’S AGENT. Only 2% purchased their home directly from a seller whom the buyer didn’t know.
Buyers search for a home online, but then depend on an agent to find the home they will buy (52%), to negotiate the terms of the sale (46%) and price (36%), or to help understand the process (60%). The plethora of information now available has resulted in an increase in the percentage of buyers that reach out to real estate professionals to “connect the dots.” This is obvious as the percentage of overall buyers who used an agent to buy their home has steadily increased from 69% in 2001.
BOTTOM LINE
If you are thinking of selling your home, don’t underestimate the role that a real estate professional can play in the process.
listing | closing 101.
The closing process finalizes the sale of your home and makes everything official. Also known as settlement, the closing is when you get paid and the buyer receives the deed to your home.
Here are a few things to bring to the closing:
-
House keys
-
Garage door opener(s)
-
A picture ID
What can you expect?
The closing agent will look over the purchase contract and identify what payments are owed and by whom; prepare documents for the closing; conduct the closing; make sure taxes, title searches, real estate commissions and other closing costs are paid; ensure that the buyer’s title is recorded; and ensure that you receive any monies due to you.
Sellers commonly pay the following at closing:
-
Mortgage balance and prepayment penalties, if applicable
-
Other claims against your property, such as unpaid property taxes
-
Unpaid special assessments on your property
-
Document stamps (or taxes) on the deed
-
Real estate commission
-
Legal fee or title insurance premium
After the closing, make sure you keep the following for tax purposes:
-
Copies of all closing documents
-
All home improvement receipts on the home you sold
