What Sellers Need to Understand in This Market
If you are selling, strategy matters more than luck.
Homes that are:
-
In good locations
-
Priced aggressively and realistically
-
Turnkey and show well
-
Professionally marketed
Are the homes that are seeing strong results.
However, patience and data-driven pricing are key. The right agent should be able to clearly show:
-
What has sold recently
-
How your home compares
-
The marketing system being used
-
The negotiation strategy behind the pricing
If someone cannot show you their process and only tells you what you want to hear, that is a red flag.
