Selling Your Home
There are several things to keep in mind when you are thinking about selling your home.  First, and foremost, is exposure.  No one can buy your home if no one knows it is for sale.  John L. Scott Real Estate is the number one office in the country for a good reason.  A solid marketing plan that produces results.  What do you get with John L. Scott Real Estate?

PropertyInSalem.com  Each property receives a complete photo gallery for buyers to preview your home anytime, day or night. (See an Example)  Although having buyers walk through your home in person is good, some buyers can take one look and know your home is not right for them.  These people will schedule an appointment to view your home.  This means you will need to tidy up and leave for a hour or so.  This wastes your time if they can see the home is not right for them.  By viewing your home online, we can eliminate lookers and focus on the truly serious buyers.
Realtor.com - The largest national real estate web site.
Professional Marketing - With a Bachelor of Science degree from Portland State University, School of Business Administration I am able to put a formal understanding of marketing together with the practical application.  This allows your home to be presented in the best possible light.
Open House - Some agents list homes with the intention of placing the home on the MLS and hoping another will have a buyer.  These buyers will have their agent show them your home with no more information than a couple lines of ad text.  These buyers will not be exposed to the true value of your home.  Open Houses let buyers meet with an agent who is knowledgeable about your home.  This allows the agent to SELL your home based on its strongest selling points.  I always take a pro-active approach to selling your home.

Home Warranties - Offering a home warranty is a must.  Several reasons.  First, it will actually make you money.  Your home, on average, will sell for 2% more than a home without a warranty. On a $300,000 home, that is $6000 for a $400 investment.  Need more reasons?  Homes with a warranty sell 15% faster.  Plus, your home has a 30% greater chance selling.

Another reason, home repairs were the fastest-growing consumer complaint in recent studies of home buyers.  77 percent would prefer to have someone else handle home systems and appliance repairs. A home warranty helps alleviate many of these concerns by providing a single source to call. The average homeowner spends an estimated $900 per year to repair home systems and appliances, which, if covered under a warranty, would require either a small service fee or deductible, typically $50 to $75.

Listings that Sell - If you would like to get an extra $20,000 above market value for your home call me today!  I will happily refer you to another agent.  However, if you are serious about selling your home, for a fair market price, then I can assist you.  There are hundreds of homes for sale, many similar to yours.  Most have a floor, walls, & a roof.  Buyers shop around more than anyone.  If your home is over priced, buyers will simply go to the next home.  We can be assured your home will not be overlooked, since I will not try and sell a home for more than market value.

Why would an agent list an overpriced home?  If an agent takes your home as a listing when it is overpriced, the agent will probable just use the buyer calls to sell those people on another home and never get your home sold.  But, if your home produces buyers for the agent, and the agent gets paid from those sales, but never sells your home...ask yourself this...Who loses in this case?  Not the agent.  Do not let an agent tell you that they can sell your home knowing you want or need more than market value.  If you need more cash out of your home, it is better to wait until you have more equity or market conditions change in your favor.

2,000 Agents - There are about 2,000 local agents in the Salem area. Your home will be listed in the Willamette Valley Multiple Listing Service (MLS).   This added exposure allows each of the area agents to expose your home to all of their buyers as well.  When an agent is typically working with 5 or more buyers, that extra exposure adds up quickly.
Exceptional Customer Service - I will see your transaction through to the very end and make sure that required items are completed in a timely manner.  If you have ever been disappointed with a lack of customer service, you will see why on every single web page, and every piece of marketing and correspondence you see the words "Exceptional Customer Service".  Professionalism is a service that you should expect when you are paying the bill.  You will receive that from me and hopefully you will expect it!

 

When you are ready to receive more information about selling your home, feel free to give me call, email, or complete an easy online form.  Rest assured we will be working together in your transaction and I will not pressure you to make hurried decisions.  You will get no "sales lines" to try and convince you to sell if you are not ready.  Just keep in mind there is a standard transaction commission for every home sold.  Know you are getting EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE when you decide on an agent for your home.
