Listing and Selling Your Home are Two Jobs
While listing is part of the selling process, it is by no means all it takes to get the job done right. Once you identify the reason for why you’d like to sell your property, having the confidence that it is being both listed and sold in a manner that gets the most amount of exposure and most complimentary exposure is critical to you receiving the maximum amount for your home in the quickest amount of time.
When it comes to selling your home in Revelstoke, John Sparrow at Century 21 Revelstoke along with his dedicated team of supporting marketing professionals will make sure it’s done properly for you. Communication is key to our process, both with you and buyers. As a step-by-step guide to how the process works in your favour see our summary as follows.
Understanding Why, When and How to Sell Your Home
What we call PK is critical! Product knowledge is an overall understanding of the real estate market in Revelstoke and other markets that may impact your real estate decisions. While everyone has their own personal reasons impacting decisions to sell, including employment, lifestyle and family environment, knowing the context of how that decision will play out with other options determines if it’s a win for you.
At Century 21 Revelstoke, John Sparrow stays on top of the markets in Revelstoke and throughout Western Canada. We provide you with not only a clear understanding of the value of your home on the market, but also what the market activity is currently is like, when the best time to sell is and how the Revelstoke real estate market is comparing to others. Understanding when and how the best time is to upsize, downsize or move sideways between markets helps you achieve you long term real estate goals.
Choosing a Selling Price for Your Home
The common practice revolves mostly around providing a CMA (Comparative Marketing Analysis) and discussing a price to sell with the seller. After reviewing pitches from various realtors, the most compelling pitch and often the highest price to list are chosen. This can be a rookie mistake if presentation of the home doesn’t match the value presented. Equally, the customer who will pay the amount marketed needs to be specifically identified in their marketing segment and the marketing plan needs to target those buyer types. The price needs to be carefully evaluated as part of an overall marketing strategy specific to your needs and positioned for success.
Revelstoke is a unique market with a number of very unique properties which make the CMA process often not straightforward. At Century 21 Revelstoke, John provides you with the expertise to help ensure you utilize a price for maximum return!
