Selling Your Central Oregon Home

Bend OR home for saleSo you are thinking of selling your home? It is only natural that you will want to obtain the very highest price that today’s real estate market will support.

To achieve this goal it is very important that we start off on the right foot (although the left one is ok too).  Pricing, presentation and marketing are your three most important factors in obtaining the highest and best offer for your home. These are the factors you can control, unlike the location, neighbors and so on.

Home values are calculated in many different ways. You may have looked at your automated value on a website such as Zillow, although sometimes this value is accurate more often than not it is not accurate in Bend or Central Oregon. Sites like these do not have anyway to compare your home to the true competition. To obtain a value all they can do is look at overall sales, sq ft and so on.  They do not know that the comparison had a hoarder living in it for 20 years and was a complete disaster.  Your home’s listing price should be based on the current market trends, current competition and seasonal trends.  Comparing your home to a overpriced home or a distressed property will not give you the perfect list price.

Obtaining the perfect list price is more than just looking at the comparisons too, this is why a professional is so important.  Why list your home, deal with showings and being inconvenienced only to not receive an offer? When a home is priced correctly offers do come from those same buyers.

One of the reasons I love being a Realtor® is that no two days nor no two transactions are the same.  Experience gives a seasoned agent the ability to work through the craziest situations and make them seem normal to the seller. Using an experienced agent will save you time and provide a higher bottom line. Our goal is to make sure you achieve the highest dollar for your home, putting more dollars in your pocket.

Our marketing and systems have proven to be successful to many sellers.  There is more to marketing your home than adding it to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and letting the property go to the web.  Yes most buyers start their home search on the web, but if every ad is the same you will be pulling a smaller group of buyers.  Having different marketing will bring different buyers.

I started marketing on the internet in 1999 and have seen a lot of changes, some of which make it more difficult for an agent that does not have a great internet knowledge to market your home. Buyers from everywhere find my site, they are often times searching for very specific things in a home, this is where our internet marketing expertise is so important for you.  It is not unusual for a buyer to already be registered on a site (my site in particular) and receive your home in their email.
