How to sell a house in Mayfield Heights OH for top dollar?
We've already discussed how to Evaluate your position on Mayfield Heights OH Real Estate market in our first article in this series.
Few good reasons to Evaluate yourself as an owner of Mayfield Heights house have been listed in the second post.
Let's discuss the winning pricing strategy. Your goal as the owner is to sell your Mayfield Heights OH Real Estate for as much as possible on today's market.
What should you and your Real Estate agent do in order to define the right pricing strategy?
Many sellers want to give potential buyers a chance to negotiate the price and thus slightly overprice their homes. I will be honest with you. Despite the common opinion that this strategy may hurt your bottom line, in many cases it works! The key word here is "SLIGHTLY" .
Normally, the Sold Price / Asking Price ratio for Mayfield Heights OH single family homes is 95-96 %, which means that buyers expect to get and indeed recieve about 5 % discount from the LAST asking price.
Starting from 2008 discounts tend to be higher, especially if we calculate the discount from original asking price. Last year a median discount from original asking price was about 13 %! However those sellers who priced their Mayfield Heights OH houses right from the beginning, received their 94-96 % of original price.
Here is your major price strategy for a successful sale of your house in Mayifield Heights OH:
price it right from the beginning and get a higher acceptable offer.

Area. School District.

Your goal is to sell your home for top dollar.
Be honest with yourself and keep evaluating your current market position and options!
Location of your home. If you house is situated in a quiet residential area with a low local traffic, if it has a nice private back yard you have a better chance to sell it for more. If your house is really close to highway or is on the major street, more likely it will affect the price.
Layout / floor plan. Age of your house. Lot size. Mayfield Heights housing market offers a lot of houses of different ages, styles and layouts. They are all in different price groups.
You can still find in Mayfield Heights OH few older homes built in 20-s. Many houses were built in 50-s and 60s. Bungalow and cape cod styles were very popular back then.Some of them lost in value during last couple years.
It's a good supply of solid moderately priced ranch style homes built in 60-s and 70-s. Popular in late 60-s and 70-s medium size split level homes are still in a good demand but they should be priced reasonably in order to sell. Bigger and more pricy split level homes can be found in Gates Mills Blvd. area. on SOM Center, Cedar Rd., in neighborhoods located West of Lander Rd. and North of Ridgebury Blvd.
It's a decent supply of recently built homes in Mayfield Heights. They are very well built and reasonably priced and that's why they are very popular among the buyers.
No matter what the position of your house on current Real Estate market is, you should be positive about the sale of your home. Each house has its buyer.
Prepare yourself mentally and emotionally. Prepare your house. Hire the right Real Estate professional. Get your house sold!
I hope, our series of articles on How to sell your Mayfield Heights OH house for top dollar will be of a good help for you.

Testimonials.
Svetlana helped us to buy our condo four years ago. She generously shares her knowledge of the market, financial comprehension and professional experience with us. Svetlana's understanding of our real needs made a miracle! She stopped us from buying a wrong "Needs some TLC" type house. She dedicates her time and undivided attention to all her clients. When we needed to rent out our place, she found a responsible renter within a week! What a pleasure to have such an expert and a loyal friend on our side. G.G.Kojokmanova, Reminderville, OH.
Dear Svetlana! You were so patient explaining all the terms and answering all our questions. You even went beyond the call of duty to ensure that I understood all pertinent matters. We particularly like how you make sure that all is in order and that all the agreed terms are in place. Gives one a complete sense of security and trust. We have worked with another realtor before and you are head and shoulders above him in terms of service and knowledge. Jewel and Ron Clarke, Euclid OH.
If you need a knowledgeable, understanding, informed, passionate professional on your side, don't hesitate to call Svetlana. Svetlana not only understands our situation, she respects our goals and helps us thinking beyond the box. She motivates and educates us on every step through closing. She negotiates for us, so we win and everyone is happy. Thanks to Svetlana, we've got our beautiful house for a very good price with a very beneficial financing. We've also got a good friend and advisor. What a rewarding relationship! Nazaryants Family, Aurora, OH.
Svetlana is our Realtor and our friend. We bought two houses with her and we are happy with both of them. She is the only Real Estate agent who really listens, who cares about our needs. She is the most trusted advisor we ever had. We highly recommend her services to all our friends and colleagues.
We are glad that she is a broker of her own company. She is the best! Good luck and make more people happier!
Tatiana, Carl, Nicole Mueller. Strongsville, Ohio.
"Never trust any realtor. They care only about how to make their money trying to sell you a property as expensive as possible, this way they earn more. Be careful." that's what many people told me when we started hunting for our house. This is not the case with my realtor. With Svetlana you will sleep well and be safe.
She will make sure you fully understand what to expect from the house you are making your offer for (replacing windows, cracks to be fixed, it's about time to do roofing, kitchen will need new cabinets because they smell, this school system's extra curriculum classes cost additional money, kindergarten cost $2000, there is no transportation (school bus) to take your kid to kindergarten every morning from "this area").
Learn about house market, prices, negotiating process, about the school district in your prospective area, inspection details, arrange for closing, financial arrangement, and much more.
No. Stop. You have enough to worry about and you are NOT becoming a REALTOR; believe us, you already have one that will not turn you down.
Her name is Svetlana. Call her now. She will tell you the truth about given property. She will find what you need.
Efraims family. Twinsburg, OH
" I had very specific requirement, and was very skeptic about possibility finding home I need. Svetlana not only found desired floor plan but also negotiated unbelievable deal on it.... Few months later she sold my old house for top $$$ (on declining market!!!)....
I would highly recommend Svetlana to anyone looking for quality real estate service.
Boris Dubin. Bainbridge, OH"
