List It Right. Don’t Rush To List It Right Now!

Even when you’re in a hurry to get your home listed, it pays to take a deep breath and slow down. We absolutely understand your desire – even need – to get your house sold, but we also know that when we take the appropriate steps the house will not only sell faster, it will sell for top dollar.

You truly have one chance to make a first impression with your home, and the best buyers have already seen it all (they lurk in the wings of the MLS waiting for new listings to pop up.) This discerning group will act quickly and view your home in the first two weekends. If your home isn’t polished and poised to receive these buyers, it won’t get a second look.A sad reality is this: if your home isn’t under contract within the first 20 days from listing, there is a very real possibility that your house will sit, waiting for new buyers to come into the market.

To get FASS Results we need time to get your home ready for Showtime. Sometimes it’s as simple as de-cluttering, but there are times cosmetic or lighting changes are required. We’ll even recommend significant renovations when we know it will earn dividends. Not to worry, we’re your partner and come armed with a team of folks who can pull off all levels of modifications in short order. No matter how much TLC your home needs, the final step should be including the services of a design-degreed stager to get your house perfect for the big reveal. Once it is picture perfect, a professional photographer must capture the essence of your home in photos compelling enough to get your buyer off their computer screen and through the front door.

While it seems counterintuitive – not to mention frustrating – to slow down the listing timeline, it will pay off in the end. If you don’t follow this advice, be prepared to hurry up — and wait!
