How we market your home
Buyers, of course, want to pay as little as possible for your
home. Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently
sold homes, and other properties currently on the market, together
we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market.
In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis or
a CMA. We do this for you, for free. It's critical to know the
"price-per-square foot" of homes that have SOLD recently
in your area... this gives you a much better idea of what your
home might actually sell for, as compared to only looking at the
prices of homes for sale. It’s also important to compare
your home to others that are truly comparable (in terms of size,
number of bedrooms, age, and many other features), not to just
any home that is in the same neighborhood as yours.
Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! We
make sure they don't waste your time by pre-qualifying them as
to their real ability to afford your home. More buyers interested
in your home means more money in your pocket when it is sold.
Our extensive marketing of your home assures you of maximum value.
For example, this web site (and others) will market your property
all across the Web.
Did you know that over 80% of home buyers turn FIRST to an Internet
home search before calling a Realtor? Your home will appear on
Realtor.com, Zillow.com, and literally DOZENS
of other top national sites (many more websites than the typical
Realtor utilizes). You may not realize that the MLS and some websites
automatically broadcast listings to a few of the top national
sites (such as Realtor.com). (see bottom of page) We pay to advertise
your home on many more websites and reach THOUSANDS more potential
buyers than most Realtors.
Here are just some of the things that we do to market and sell your home:
1) We Market your home 24 hours a day with our “For Sale” sign and our name and private phone number “rider”. When Buyers call, they reach us directly. Because we know your home, we immediately use the opportunity to sell your home’s great features and benefits.
2) Our Professional websites: http://www.nwarkansashomesforsale.com and http://www.davidsimpson.remaxarkansas.com We promote and market your home 24 hours a day on our website. Your home will have its own webpage to showcase photos of your home and an online flyer detailing all the information on your home. Your home will also be featured on numerous other websites (see bottom of page)
3) We get Real Estate Agents excited about selling your home. We email a flyer to promote your home to all real estate agents in Northwest Arkansas offering extra incentives to get their attention. Agents who have buyers for your home will be notified that your home is on the market.
4) Your home will appear on the Regional Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Data about your home is provided instantly to all agents and offices in Northwest Arkansas.
5) Professional Listing Information Binder. We produce an in home binder for buyers to review. It contains community information, detailed information on your home, property disclosure, inspection reports, homeowners association documentation if applicable and school information. This makes the new buyer feel comfortable knowing ahead of time what condition the property they are buying is in and what the surrounding community has to offer.
6) Determine the right price to market your home. This is the most critical step. We’ll review market demand, nearby competition, recent sales and other variables that can affect your home’s value.
7) Let you know exactly what’s going on with Buyer Showings. We keep you up to date by phone calls, letters or email. We follow up on all showings with cooperating agents so you know what agents and buyers are thinking about your home and represent you at the presentation of all offers. Most importantly, we will negotiate forcefully on your behalf to get you the highest possible price, not try to make you take the first offer that come to the table, and show you how much money you will get when you accept an offer with our estimate of sellers closing costs. Upon acceptance, we will coordinate with the cooperating agents, lender, appraiser, inspectors, and title company, and of course, handle any complications that can occur through the closing process so that you and the buyer get to the closing table on time. And yes, we actually will be there to attend the closing with you.
8) When we host an OPEN HOUSE we announce it on our website and put up OPEN HOUSE signs in your neighborhood several days before the event so that potential visitors in the area are well aware. We also post it on our Website and on the other websites where we advertise.
