My Selling Marketing Strategy

1. Evaluation of your home

Before listing or performing a market evaluation of your property, I will do a market survey and examine your area. Then I will provide you with 3 lists of the properties in your area, which are recently sold, active, and expired.

1. The sold list tells what buyers are willing to pay for properties in your area.
2. The active list shows the competition in the market.
3. The expired list indicates over-priced listings that did not sell.

Secondly, I will examine your house and measure it to verify all the information for a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA).

Thirdly, I will provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report, which uses the comparative method appraisal to analyze your house with the rest of the marketed houses in your area, and give you a suggested price for your house. You are the boss, and you will make your final listing price for your home.
