Smooth as Molasses

Marketing you home now days is a competition with the other short sales and bank homes that speckle the real estate. How do you go up against the many listings in your area that have the stigma of a good deal?

Begin with a good price evaluation of what is selling in your MLS area. These are obtained either on the web or with your favorite Realtor. Having a good price point is the key if you are serious about selling in a reasonable time period.

Buyers begin by looking on the webosphere and search for the items that they feel are what gives them the most boost for their buck. It is the easiest for Realtors to show the many vacant homes to their buyers, but it may not be the best deal when all things are considered.

With so many choices to search what are the factors that lead to a good deal.

• Look at the days on market. A long period may give you an indication of problems that face either the home or the process it will take to buy it. Market your home with a short close in mind.

• How many pictures are displayed in the listing. The lack of pictures could indicate problems with the condition of the home. Use multiple pictures with good quality.

• Look for good point of your home to describe and paint a picture for the buyers.


Finally, make the home available to view and much as possible, there is nothing worse than having a home for sale no one can see.
