A FEW THINGS SELLERS COULD LEARN FROM BANKS

COMPETING SELLERS CAN LEARN QUITE A FEW THINGS FROM BANKS WHEN LISTING IN TODAYS MARKET:

• BECOME THE LOWEST PRICED COMPARABLE IN A 1/2 MILE RADIUS

• TO ARRIVE AT PRICE DO A COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS INCLUDING 3 ACTIVES, 3 PENDINGS AND 3 CLOSED FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS TO A MAXIMUM OF 6 MONTHS

• DO USE BANK OWNED COMPARABLES, DON'T USE SHORT SALES

• SPENDING A BIT OF MONEY ON COSMETICS LIKE PAINTING AND REPLACING THE CARPET CAN WORK WONDERS FOR THE HOME

• LIST LOW SELL HIGH (IN TODAYS MARKET IT TAKES 42 VIEWINGS TO EVERY OFFER)

• ACCEPT THAT YOU HAVE MADE GREAT UPGRADES TO YOUR HOME BUT LET THE MARKET DECIDE WHAT THE HOME IS REALLY WORTH

• BANKS HAVE NO ATTACHMENT TO THE ASSET (HOME) THEY, LIKE ARE LOOKING TO NET THE MOST PROFIT

• CASH OFFERS DON'T DESERVE HUGE DISCOUNTS, PAYOFFS ARE PAYOFFS. A GOOD LISTING AGENT WILL INFORM YOU OF A THOROUGHLY QUALIFIED OFFER

• BUYERS SHOULD BE QUALIFIED BY A DIRECT LENDER

• HIGHEST AND BEST OFFER WINS TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

• PRICE RIGHT, WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME RECEIVE OFFERS, ACCEPT THE HIGHEST ONE AND COME TO A SUCCESSFUL CLOSING!

GOOD LUCK
