Nevada

When consulting Home Sellers in the Las Vegas / Henderson,NV area, I always say that there are three main components to getting a home sold. Preparation, Marketing and Pricing.

With the overwhelming amount of distressed, Bank Owned properties in the Las Vegas / Henderson, NV Real Estate Market, Preparation is more important than ever for a motivated home seller to get their home sold.

From having the benefit of representing a diverse collection of home buyers in the Las Vegas / Henderson, NV market, I can not begin to tell you the sigh of relief that is emitted when a weary home buyer walks into a well put together home.

I think back to my college days at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY. Ithaca College is a private college and costs a fortune to attend. While I was going there it was right around the $30,000 per year mark (I think it is above $40,000 today). The college would have selected days where they would have large groups of potential students and their families come up to the college to check things out. They would spend the time leading up to these days polishing the floors, making the flower beds pristine, and putting a sparkle on this campus that we all wish lasted year round. While we all heard the parents say, "This place is just too much money." when they first arrived, families were clamoring to sign on the dotted line before they left.

The college put on a dog and pony show of epic proportions to win families over. The college commanded a higher price not just because of the quality of the education provided, but because of the quality of the projected image it gave to the public.

It is this same concept that we need to apply to homes on the market. In this sea of trashed and distressed homes that we are drowning in, home sellers need to project the image that what they have to offer is worth the price of admission. This is an advantage that home sellers can use today.

While preparation is only one component to getting a home sold, it is the ace that owner occupied homes hold over the foreclosed properties in today's market.
