We are excited to answer a common question today that we’ve been getting a lot lately. The question is, “How do I get top dollar for my home?” It’s a great question because your home is often your biggest asset, so of course you want to sell for as much money as possible. Here are some great tips our team uses in order to get the job done:

1. Plan, plan, plan. It’s so important to plan ahead of time because it allows you to do more things to the home like decluttering, having inspections, and making minor repairs. We also have a professional photographer and a professional home stager on staff to ensure a great presentation of your home.

2. Work with an agent who understands the market. The agent you work with needs to understand everything about your specific market, including identifying specific trends or timing strategies.

You need an agent who understands the market.

3. Work with an agent who knows how to make an entrance. Do not allow your agent to just come out, take some pictures, slap a sign in the yard, and cross their fingers that it sells online. You have to create and build awareness of a home to get it to sell for top dollar. It’s important that your home is filled with potential buyers while it’s on the market to create a sense of urgency among them.

4. Price the home correctly. Although it only takes one buyer to buy a home, to get top dollar on your home, you need every possible buyer to see it. You don’t get a second chance at a first impression, so if you want to sell for top dollar, you’ve got to create that good impression by pricing properly.

If you have any questions for us or you are looking to buy or sell, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you.

You can't underestimate the importance of using a professional photographer to showcase your Phoenix home when selling it. Did you know that the majority of buyers today start their home search online?

Professional photos are a great way to separate yourself from the rest of the competition. As a homeowner, you help with the curb appeal of the home, but as an agent, it's our responsibility to give the home web appeal.

To get clicks on your house online, clients first look at the price, followed by the pictures. Photos help buyers decide if they would even want to see your home in person at all. With photos, a listing only has about 20 seconds to make an impression on a buyer - and just two seconds without them. You only get one chance to make that good first impression.

A good impression of a home encourages positive energy toward it, and emotion is the number one trigger for buyers. Additionally, professional photos make a home sell faster, and will earn you approximately $19,000 more.
