There’s no secret to getting a home sold quickly, whether you are selling in Truckee, Tahoe or elsewhere – the more people that view it, the better your chances of a quick sale. Listing agents may as well be called marketing agents. Unfortunately, some real estate agents try to get away with sticking a sign into the dirt, a lockbox on the door, and an iphone photo on the listing. Sure, that might work, but it may also fail. Are you willing to take that chance?
The key to getting lots of interested buyers through the front door of your home requires a marketing plan [here’s mine]and a robust marketing budget to back up that plan.
Marketing your home to the fullest takes time, ingenuity, and money. For Truckee home sellers, my brokerage will pay for professional photography and a virtual tour. Your listing will be boosted through signage, MLS, mainstream sites like Zillow, and Redfin, social media sites, realtor news, open houses, and targeted email marketing – all directed straight to your ideal buyers.
Marketing – that’s my responsibility, {see our Elite Marketing Plan HERE} but Smart Sellers know they are also responsible for two essential things:
SELLER RESPONSIBILITY #1:
Price it right out of the gates by trusting your realtor’s evaluations.
SELLER RESPONSIBILITY #2:
Get your home in prime showing condition by decluttering and taking care of any deferred maintenance. Consider an investment into staging the home if it’s unfurnished. There are a few reasons for this, furnishings add warmth and comfort to the vibe of the home, buyers have no imagination when they are touring an empty home, and unfurnished homes seem smaller.
WHAT TO DO FIRST?
Make your seller appointment with me. What this looks like is a quick 10/15 minute meeting at your home, at your preferred time. Easy enough? Fill out the form to set it up. (or call/text/email 530-941-9881)
