What’s the Magic Home Listing Price?

By: Debbie Borron | Website

Debbie Borron’s must-read post tackles a subject we’ve all got on our mind when it comes to listing homes: Money. While this can be a stressful topic, finding your magic number can make the entire process run a whole lot smoother.

Although staging your property is valuable, Debbie points out that in order to motivate buyers and accurately assess market conditions, you need to set an accurate sales price. And the best way to do this is to work with an experienced agent. Because, the thing is, if you start off pricing your house too high you’ll eventually end up lowering that number, which will ultimately reflect poorly on the property and result in under-bidding.

To avoid this and find your magic number start by researching similar homes in your area and account for things like size and amenities. Secondly, while comparing these homes, also keep an eye out for differences and things that could potentially make your house stand out. Houses are like snowflakes in this way, no two are exactly alike. And this is where a Realtor’s expertise really comes in. They can determine the value of these features, even minor improvements can make a major difference, to help you arrive at the perfect listing price.

Why Staging Can Help Sell Your Home in 2016

By: Melanie Ventura | Website

Don’t underestimate the importance of home staging. Professional staging can be a powerful marketing tool and Melanie Ventura will tell you exactly how it can lead to a more profitable sale. It’s a matter of convenience, really.

You won’t find many home seekers eager to buy a property that isn’t move-in ready and requires a lot of additional maintenance. In fact, studies show that nearly 50% of buyers are more willing to view a house that is staged than one that isn’t. Buyers want to be able to enter a house and imagine their future home, so the better the property looks, the more likely buyers will be able to envision creating a life there, instead of worrying about the work that needs to be done. Home staging can attract qualified buyers and thus, more offers.

Staging is usually completed by a professional stager and can be taken to the next level by bringing in a photographer, which is a fabulous way to pique the interest of online viewers.

Here’s another great blog post from Dustin Brohm. He interviewed top real estate agents about their daily routines to find out how they contribute to their success. Dustin suggests that our daily habits and disciplines that we commit to consistently are what will ultimately shape our success in the industry.

I really recommend reading the full article, but here are some of the key takeaways that Dustin learned from the pros:

Develop a system for prospecting and following-up with leads. This will take some discipline and a solid work ethic, but the sooner you get into a routine that you can stick to, the sooner you’ll be ahead of the game.

Give your website the attention it deserves. Having a stellar website, plus quality blog content and a killer social media presence to support it will help you stand out from the competition.

Build relationships. This can be done on and off the web and you can get really creative with this. One agent even hosts client parties in her home for neighbors, past clients and friends–all of who usually bring a date or end up getting her agent information for an associate or family member.

Be flexible. You’re your own boss now, so don’t expect any two days to look the same. Even if you’re committing to executing some of the same activities daily. It may take some trial and error testing, but it’s important to find out what works for you because it may not be the same as what works for another agent.

This is a great example of how to blog for your niche. The question of whether or not to get a professional home inspection is something all sellers will eventually have to ask, but Adrian has brought it home by targeting his area in Columbia, South Carolina.

He discusses the differences between county home inspections versus a professional inspection and what goes into an actual inspection. He recommends hiring an inspector mainly for insurance reasons as they often catch issues that would otherwise be overlooked.
