Is Your Marketing Plan Getting Your Home Sold?

Is Your Marketing Plan Getting Your Home Sold?

Most past sellers ask me what makes a good marketing plan. What should ask the Realtors? These are very valid questions. Marketing a home has changed dramatically in the last 3 years. You can’t put a “for sale sign” up and enter the home into the MLS and know that a buyer is going to call tomorrow to put in an offer. It takes work to get a home sold in today’s market. There is so much competition out there your home has to stand out on many different levels. The number one question you should ask is

“What is my home worth?”

This is a huge step in determining if your Realtor is out to buy your listing or be honest with you. This is another reason it is important to interview at least 3 Realtors. If two are close in price and the third is way out in left field, you know something is up. The next question should be:

“How will you market my home?”

If you hear crickets then you need to end the meeting soon. They are wasting your time. In this real estate market you MUST have a marketing plan. This isn’t just putting the “for sale sign” up and printing some flyers. We’re talking you should have went to college and got your marketing degreekind of stuff. If they aren’t using the internet to market your home then you shouldn’t hire them. 95% of the buyers who are looking for homes are looking online. They are making their next decision based on the pictures they see. Does your Realtor have a professional photographerto take the photos of your home? Do they use QR Codes? Do you know what they are? These are a few things that you need to have yourself armed with when you are interviewing Realtors.
