Step 3
Create a Pricing Strategy
We will go over the intricacies of the local real estate market and help you create a pricing strategy that will net you the most money at closing. We will position the property appropriately to drive competition among buyers.
How to get it just right
The first place we’ll start is by looking at historical data of properties similar to yours that sold. We will go back 6-12 months to find properties similar in style, location, size, features and amenities and make adjustments to come up with an estimated market value. This value will most likely be within 10% of the final selling price of your property.
However, our conversations won’t end there. We will also look at the current properties on the market (competition), list to sales price ratios, and supply and demand. All of these factors play a strong role in our pricing strategy and ultimately how we will position your property in the market to net you the most amount of money at closing and give you the highest probability of selling within your allotted time frame.
