Tips For Sellers
1. Hire a Full-Service Listing Agent (with No Up-Front Fees)
There are many new discount companies that will claim to help you save a few % that you would normally pay to a broker, but you are not saving any money if your house sells for significantly less than its market value. The prudent home seller will choose to obtain professional assistance and representation from a "Full Service" brokerage. A quality full service listing agent knows how to help you get the highest price for your home.
Kenny O'Reilly and the network of CentralCoastHomeFinder agents are all Full-Service experienced agents here to help you sell your home!
2. Price Your Home Right - The First Time
The most important marketing decision you make in the sale of your house is its price. You don’t want to price it so low you give it away, but you don’t want to price it so high you scare buyers away, either. After a home has been on the market for a while without selling buyers become wary. . . "it has been for sale forever, there must be something wrong with it?"
When homes are priced too high to begin with, they usually don't receive a price reduction soon enough and eventually sell for less than they would have had they been priced properly to begin with.

3. How To Market Your Home:
There's a general belief that "advertising" is the best way to find a buyer for your home . . . this is true. However, it is extremely rare for a buyer to purchase a home that they found in the Sunday paper, real estate magazine or flyer! Those ads work great for generating new business for the listing agent, as well as promoting Open Houses. But does it really sell your home?
So, where are all those buyers?
Answer: There are two groups of home buyers, and you must reach both!
| |
Group #1: Buyers that are currently working with agents & brokers!
These buyers are usually financially qualified to buy the homes that they are touring and ready to purchase. A full-service Realtor will put your home in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS is seen by those who actually sell real estate, Realtors / brokers / agents. It is also helps to have a listing agent that has a good relationship with the local agents/brokers and will work closely with them to market your home!
Group #2: Buyers that are not yet working with an agent/broker!
The majority of these people are trying to find a home by searching the Internet and will not talk to an agent until they are motivated to schedule a showing of a home that they find on the Internet. This means that you should have the largest Internet exposure possible and a Realtor® willing and able to manage your listing and sale with this technology. SO, it's a good thing that you are here! More home buyers will find their next home at CentralCoastHomeFinder.com than any other local real estate website on the Central Coast. |
4. Insist on Financially Pre Qualified Buyers Only
When you receive an offer, you need to know if the buyer is financially able to conclude the transaction. So, insist that the buyer present a letter of pre-qualification for a loan or have them submit proof of funds if they are a cash buyer.
5. Insist That Your Home is Featured on CentralCoastHomeFinder.com
Homes that are featured on CentralCoastHomeFinder.com receive more Internet exposure. All of the current marketing research has reported that "most" homebuyers start their home search online. Buyers from out-of-town are finding the homes that they will tour before they roll into town, and today more buyers are finding these homes on CentralCoastHomeFinder.com!
