Boise Selling a Home

Welcome!

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
Buyers:

I currently work with many clients via my Idaho real estate website, about 65-75% because they love the hassle-free detailed service I offer. (My system also works especially well for out of state clients). Basically it is a system of offering the client desired education and self service information. Through my websites (realtor.comida-homes.com, more), you can retrieve instant self servicerelocation information, Idaho demographics, Idaho neighborhood info, Idaho school info, Idaho state economic, employment and tax info. But what my clients most appreciate is the MLS listings I directly send to them. These are much more comprehensive than most other website home searches. Through being able to view an unlimited number of homes, you are educated on market conditions and area pricing, so that when you are ready to purchase, you feel confident that you have made a wise decision.

Sellers:

It has been my experience that you want advertising and communication, of course aside from getting your asking price. I do extensive print advertising, and offer above average exposure on the internet via my 4 Idaho real estate websites, including “Realtor.com” (the top visited home search website on the internet –over 4 million visitors a month). Statistics show that 87% of buyers today start their home search on the internet.

Most houses receive virtual tours as well as plenty of photos on all 4 Idaho real estate websites.

There are a variety of other real estate marketing tools I use, as my listing plan is customized for each property. In addition, feedback on showings, follow-up and updated market conditions are key to keeping the seller informed. Sellers need to know their closing cost, net profit and possible market time prior to listing.

One unique marketing strategy I specifically utilize is to market your property to other Realtors. This is crucial because there are approximately 3,000 Realtors in the Treasure Valley; and combined, they have more home buyers at any given time than myself.

Lastly, I get you more qualified buyers! I belong to an exclusive financial network that allows me to pre-qualify possible buyers for your home. Because this network is made up of private investors as well as conventional lenders, I can get people qualified other lenders cannot. This affords me the unique ability to bring more buyers to your home.

Selling Your Nampa Home ~ The Dangers of Overpricing

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

You will lose the excitement that new real estate listings generates. REALTORS are working with buyers who have seen what is currently on the market and are waiting for something new to be listed. Therefore, the most activity will take place in the first 30 days of a Nampa real estate listing. Your Nampa home listing will probably receive its highest and best offers during this time. After that initial period, most of the people to look at your home listing will be new buyers in the marketplace just shopping and starting to kick tires, undecided if they are ready to buy.

You can lose the most qualified prospects! Nampa buyers will not just “make an offer” because they probably will never see your property listing. They will view the Nampa real estate listings that are priced within their purchase power range, knowing that they cannot afford anything above their price range. And for the buyers who are in your price range, they are viewing homes more accurately priced and comparing them against yours…well no competition. You lost those qualified prospects

Overpricing helps sell other, more competitively priced homes first. Your Nampa listing may be used to demonstrate the good value of other properties. Your objective should be to enter the market in a position that will attract prospects, not drive them away.

Your home may become stale on the Nampa market. Prospects may wonder why it has been on the Nampa market so long, or if something is wrong with the property listing , even after you lower the price. You may even have to settle for less than market value for your real estate listing. A house takes on a reputation surprisingly fast, so don’t wear out your welcome on the market.

You lose a strong negotiating position when your house is on the market a long time, both financially and mentally. Prospects in Nampa will not “rush” to make an offer on an overpriced real estate listings, and you may feel compelled to accept less when they finally do.

If you do get an offer, the contract may fall through because of appraisal problems. The lender must justify the price of your Nampa real estate listing to the market.
