Our Respective Duties

InspectionsInspections and potential repairs are the number one reason sales don’t close. Typically, buyers have a certain number of days in which to inspect the property and accept or reject the property based upon these mechanical and structural inspections.

Home Warranty Plans

Home warranty plans go a long way to alleviate some

risks and concerns. For a modest price, the seller can provide

to the buyer a one year warranty covering specified heating,

plumbing, electrical, water heater or appliance breakdowns.

Coverage under most plans commences at closing. In all

cases, there are important limitations and exclusions

(example: appliances/systems must be operative at

commencement of coverage).

What You Do & Don’t ControlAs The Seller, You Do Control These:

• Property Condition

• Availability for Showing

• Price

• Availability of a Home Warranty

As The Seller, You Don’t Control These:

• Competition

• Buyer’s or Seller’s Market

• Interest Rates

• When The Perfect Buyer Walks Thru Door

Selling Price Vs. Timing

• Timing is extremely important in the real estate market.

• A property attracts the most activity from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed.

• It has the greatest opportunity to sell when it is new on the market.

Pricing Factors

As the triangle graph illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value

than above market value. If you price your property at market value, you are exposing it

to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers and you are increasing your

opportunity for a sale.

IMPORTANCE OF INTELLIGENT PRICING

Pricing MisconceptionsCorrectly pricing your property has

nothing to do with the following concerns:

How Buyers & Sellers Determine Value

Its determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay and what a SELLER is willing to accept in today’s market. Buyers compare your property to other properties

ACTIVE and SOLD in your area. That is why it is so very important to price your property correctly at the time you sign your listing agreement.
