The Value of your Property
How much can you expect to get for your home?
The market tells us how much your home is worth. We will advise you on pricing. After our thorough analysis of your property compared to the market, we’ll give you our recommendations to sell your Home over the Average Price and Under the Average Time and you will make the final decision.
Comparable homes in the area that have recently sold will be used by buyers and their agents to arrive at an initial offering price for your home.
1. PRICE - BASED ON RECENT SALES - Comparable homes in the area that have recently sold are how buyers and their agents will determine the fair market value for your home.
2. LOCATION - Location is one of the most important factors in affecting the value of your property.
3. CONDITION - The condition of the property affects the price and the speed of the sale. Prospective buyers often make purchases based on emotion, so first impressions are important. I’ll advise you in optimizing the physical appearance of your home to maximize the buyer’s perception of value.
4. COMPETITION - Prospective buyers are going to compare your property—both the condition and the price—to other active listings in and around your neighborhood. In order to get buyers’ attention away from your competition and focused on your home, we will be competitive by properly pricing and staging your home.
5. TIMING - Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can’t manipulate the market, we’ll collaborate on a pricing and marketing strategy that will take advantage of the first 30 days your property is listed. It’s the window of opportunity when buyers and their agents discover your property and are most likely to visit and make offers.
Of these 5 factors, you can only change 2; the price and the condition
Setting the Sale Price of your Home
A well-priced home creates interest, attracts buyers, generates showings, and produces offers, all very quickly.
An underpriced home will attract buyers and may sell quickly, yet may detract buyers who wonder “what’s wrong with it?” as well as be overlooked by buyers looking in a slightly higher price range
An overpriced home will be evidenced by lack of interest, few showings, no offers, a longer time on the market, and possibly price cuts—which look bad from the buyer’s prospective
Simple Staging Tips
From minor changes to decluttering furniture arrangements to FULL-SCALE staging, we ensure that your property will be presented with style and elegance.

Furnished Home: How Much is Too Much?
Less is more. Remove as much as possible (approx. 30%)
Direct the buyers! attention by highlighting selling features: fireplaces, interesting windows, wood floors
Be sure that window treatments are not hiding views and reducing natural light.
Expand your closet space. Remove all items sitting on the floor of the closet and 20% of what is hanging.
Clear off all bathroom and kitchen counters leaving only the basics Remove “trip over” furniture
Garages, basements and storage areas should be brightly lit, painted and as tidy/empty as possible.
