Note from Veronica:
" My main priority is to sell fast and for top dollar! I also don't like to sugar coat things. I will not be wasting your time by telling you what you want to hear, but instead, I'll tell you the truth about the value of your home and any issues that I notice.
There are many facets to the real estate industry. There's contracts, appraisals, inspections, negotiations, financing, insurance, title policies and other legalities. But that doesn't have to overwhelm you, as I will guide and advise you every step of the way!
I truly care about my clients and will always do my best to assist and protect you.
Call, text, email or contact me via social media with any questions, or to schedule an appointment!
Looking forward to helping you,
-Veronica "
Information for: SELLERS
Preparing to sell your home:
1) Choose an agent based on services and marketing plan. Beware of agents who promise the highest listing price as this will result in pricing reductions and a longer time on the market. Agents don’t establish value, the market does. All of the exposure in the world won’t sell an over -priced home.
2) Determine listing price. As your agent, I will not base your listing price on just comparable homes currently on the market, but more importantly, comparable SOLD listings. The Active listings are reflective of the higher end of the price range. Sold listings represent the reality of the market.
3) It’s important to not over price in hopes of getting a higher sale because if it sits on the market for an extended period of time, the buyer will assume there is either an issue with the property, or they will low-ball an offer, assuming you’re desperate to finally sell.
4) The most important aspect to consider when pricing a home, is location, followed by size and then amenities.
5) When referencing a previous appraisal, take into consideration WHEN it was done (how the market was at the time) and WHY it was done. An appraisal based on refinancing & insurance can sometimes be higher than one for a purchase or tax assessment.
