What’s Important When Selling Your Home
Pleasanton homes are very desired. As a homeowner, when thinking of selling in any area, there are a few very important things to keep in mind. Choosing the Realtor is one of the most important aspects of the transaction. If you don’t have a referral from a trusted source, there are a few things to keep in mind.
- It would be wise to interview at least 3 realtors. Ask lots questions and ask for past client contact information. Take the time to make a couple of calls to their past clients. You’ll probably learn all you need to know by having a short conversation.
- Secondly, Google the name of the agent. See what you might come up with. Good or bad, it’s useful information!
- What kind of marketing are you being promised? Get samples!
- What kind of internet exposure will you receive? This is SO important in today’s selling market. Will YOUR property be listed on at least 30 + of the most commonly used real estate portals? This is a must have!
- Does the agent provide a virtual tour?
- Does the agent provide a web commercial for YOUR specific property?
Once you’ve made the decision on the Realtor, the pricing is of the utmost importance. Your trusted professional will be able to provide you with comparables to help you understand the pricing strategy. Starting high and chasing the market down doesn’t work, so don’t let your agent overprice your home! That is the number one way to fail at selling.
These are just a few things to keep in mind when searching for the right professional to sell your home.
