It’s a typical concern for all sellers when they are starting the process of selling their home. You want the most amount of money in the shortest time possible. How can you do that when you know a buyer is going to try to negotiate the price down to get a bargain? Your first reaction is to price the home higher because, you believe, you can always come down on the price later.

Although that sounds like a sensible thing to do, you need to understand how a house is marketed, and what agents and buyers are thinking.

Most sellers believe that a Realtor’s job, when listing a property, is to find the buyer for the house. Truthfully, a listing agent is a “marketing agent”, and if they are doing their job honestly (and not keeping your house a secret so they can find their own buyer and make all of the commission), they will be marketing your property not only to the buyers, but to all the other Realtors in the direct and surrounding areas. You see, 9 times out of 10, it’s another Realtor who has a buyer that is perfect for your house.

Real Estate Agents know the market that they work in, and know what properties should be priced at. When your listing goes out to the masses, and is overpriced, the Realtors in the market are going to put your house on the back burner because they know that it will never sell for that price and it will be difficult to find a buyer willing to pay that price. So, your house sits on the market and doesn’t get the showings that are needed to expose it the most amount of buyers to the house. Also, buyers are very savvy these days, and since market information is readily available on the internet, they too will know that the house is overpriced and will not even consider it. Or, they make take a “wait and see” attitude, watching to see when you do start to lower your price.

The first few weeks of your listing is the most crucial when setting the stage for a sale. A property that is priced right, combined with a listing agent that that has the tools to get it out in front of as many agents and buyers as possible, will have the greatest chance of selling in the shortest time. The longer a house sits on the market, the lower the chance will be of selling.

You need to also consider that once you start discounting the price, the buyers start discounting the house and looking for problems, or feeling that you are desperate. This puts you into a bad position when it comes to negotiating a deal on the home.

If you are serious about selling your home, and want your listing agent to have the best chance possible to get it sold for you, then you need to price your home at or below market value – the first time!

The First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit, made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is coming close to expiring. In order to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit, you must close on a house on or before November 30, 2009.

This tax credit is available to "first time home buyers" (anyone who has not owned a home over the past 3 years). There are a few other stipulations to receiving this credit.

1. The tax credit is 10% of the purchase price of the house, up to $8,000. Therefore, if you use this credit to purchase a $30,000 home, you will only receive a $3,000 credit.
2. It must be your primary residence where you live more than 50% of the time and you will have to do so for three years or the government will take back the credit when you sell the home.
3. To get the full credit, your modified adjusted gross income must be under $75,000 for singles and less than $150,000 for married joint filers.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this Federal Tax Credit, you must find a home and enter into contract before the end of September due to the time frame that it takes to get your offer accepted, completing inspections, and processing a loan. This process is now taking up to two months, depending on the lender you choose. Keep in mind that if you do not close the sale on the property on or before November 30th, you will not be eligible to receive this tax credit.

It's a great time to find that home you are looking for, and receive the great credit on your taxes next year! If you are ready to take advantage of this tax credit, give me a call. We'll find that perfect home for you!

With so many homes on the market today, a new property listing can get lost in the sea of listings, even in a small town. When you are a seller needing to sell your home, you don't need just a sign in your yard, and a hope and prayer that the realtor you have chosen will miraculously find a buyer. That may have worked in the past, but I'm sorry to tell you that it doesn't work in this market, today.

With Strategic Marketing, Pinnacle Real Estate Services markets your home in a variety of ways to put it out in front of more buyers. Your home can't be the best kept secret. Let's face it - You've picked up a real estate magazine that "showcases" the houses for sale in any given area. What do you notice about those pages? Are there many differences between one ad and another, or are they a sea of house pictures and a picture of the listing agent tell you how great they are and all the awards or designations they have received? Is it easy to really spot which ones are in your price range, and have the features that you are looking for?

Now let's talk, for a minute, about where the buyers are. Now, if the buyer lives in the town your home is in, then it's possible that they will see that real estate magazine ad. But what about the enormous amount of buyers that are relocating to your area? Do they drive in to town just to pick up all the magazines and newspapers to see what houses are for sale? Where would they likely start their home search?

Pinnacle's Strategic Marketing advertises your home, not only in print, but on over 30 individual websites across the internet, with emphasis on the unique features that your home provides. To see an example of one of the many ways a property is marketed using Pinnacle's Strategic Marketing, go to 23158 Whitfield Road.

Your home needs a great amount of exposure in today's market to catch the eyes of the buyers who are actively in the market right now. Shouldn't you get the best marketing available for the commission you will be paying?
