Patti and Mike’s Seller Advantage

As of August 1 2024 home sellers have an option when offering compensation to the buyer’s broker in order to sell your home. Read the new guidelines here.

Sellers guide here, no longer is an offer of seller compensation on the mls.

No longer are the traditional methods of selling a home as effective since the internet has evolved. Also, automated home values are a lie. Online estimates from Zillow, Open-door, Redfin, or any online home evaluator using an algorithm is not a valid replacement for a comparative market analysis from an experienced real estate agent.

Here’s how it plays out:
Zillow says $750k.
The real market says $675k.
You insist on $750k.
4 months later, buyers smell desperation, and you finally sell for $650k.
That mistake just cost you $25,000.
All because of an app that doesn’t know your neighborhood, your upgrades, or today’s buyer behavior.
Online guesses are free.
But bad pricing decisions are expensive.

Local Pricing & Market Knowledge

Every Fountain Hills neighborhood is different. I look beyond recent sales to understand current competition, location, views, lot characteristics, condition and buyer demand when helping determine the right pricing strategy for your home. If you want the real numbers, talk to me, I know the local market.

No computer can know the unique value of your home! How can a computer know how the rooms flow, if you have jaw dropping mountain views or whether your home is located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods. A home is more than the square footage or lot size. As local Realtors who works and live in Fountain Hills, we know we are absolutely qualified to give you the best answers to those questions, made possible by 20+ years of experience and local expertise.

Over 90% of home buyers search online before ever visiting a property in person, so your home’s ONLINE PRESENCE must be MEMORABLE! You have to ask yourself, what will push your home to the forefront of the most qualified home buyers? We have all heard the saying ” You’ll never get a second chance to make a great first impression.” Well, that is so true! Preparing your home for sale should be your top priority.

These top 3 steps need to happen in order for your home to sell for top dollar.

1. Your home must be in pristine showing condition at all times, clean as a whistle and staged. That also means if anything needs repair that should be done prior to putting your home on the market.
2.  Professional photos are a must! In this day and age if you don’t have professional photos, buyers will most likely overlook your home online.
3. The price must be attractive to buyers. “If the home isn’t selling, the price isn’t compelling!” Price it RIGHT so buyers feel the urgency to get in and see it quickly. Depending on your price point, you may get multiple offers if your home is priced aggressively! When the right buyer finds your home, it feels like it was meant to be.
