16. Setting the right price We, on the sellers side, want to achieve the highest possible return for the property. So determining the price is one of the most critical steps in anticipation of selling your home. A well priced home usually sells quickly once it is on the market. When your home is priced right from the outset, we will reach the most qualified buyers and obtain top dollar. S

17. Setting the right price Pricing a home too high will often cause the appropriate buyer to miss out on the property because the house is not in the price range they are searching for. A house that sits on the market may also be stigmatized since a buyer might think there is something wrong with the house. Pricing a home too low will often produce a poor return. S
