Commonly Asked Questions, Lake Norman and Charlotte Real Estate

HOW CAN I GET THE HIGHEST PRICE FOR MY PROPERTY?

Your decision to sell your property is one that I take very seriously. It is my goal to sell your home in the shortest amount of time, at the highest price, and with the fewest hassles. In order to do that, I conduct an analysis of similar properties that have been placed on the market—especially those that have sold. Based on that analysis and the time frame you establish for selling your property, I recommend a price for your property that will allow it to be sold in the shortest amount of time.

Research shows that the longer a property is on the market the more difficult it is to sell. In order to establish the proper selling price, I provide you with the information you need, which includes the analysis and other factors to consider. Once you list your property with me, I constantly monitor these market indicators and keep you informed of any pertinent changes.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I OVERPRICE MY PROPERTY?

Many potential buyers won't look at your property because they assume it is out of their price range.
Comparison shoppers will be encouraged to bid on another property. In essence, you are helping to market someone else's properly priced home.
Properties left on the market for extended periods of time become shopworn.
Buyers assume that something is wrong with the property or it would have been already sold.
Other agents are less likely to show your property to their buyers.

HOW QUICKLY CAN I SELL MY PROPERTY?

Of course, you want to sell your property quickly, and that is my number-one goal! The length of time your property is on the market is directly related to the selling price. If a home is not selling, the marketplace is saying the property is not priced properly. As you make your decision to sell, I will talk with you regarding timelines for selling the property and make recommendations to you regarding pricing and the factors that may influence the price.
