To help determine a listing price for your home, we can provide Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA. A CMA compares your home with similar homes in the area that are currently listed, under contract, or have sold within the last 6 months or year. Of course, every house is different, with updates, nicer appliances, modern building materials, and more. We will always recommend getting an appraisal for unique homes or property, but a good way to help you determine what a possible listing price might be is to go to one of the major home-searching websites and “shop” for your home as if you were a buyer. Type in your area and suggested price range, and see what the other buyers would see if they were looking for your house. Would that buyer buy your house at the price you want? Let’s discuss!
At Don Anthony Realty, we meet you at your home for a few reasons… First of all, we want to get to know you since we will be representing you throughout the negotiation and closing process. Secondly, we need to see your property since that is the product we are selling. We will do a complete walk through of your house with you and recommend staging techniques, paint colors, and how to de-clutter, if necessary. In today’s selling market, it’s helpful to have an agent that sees several houses a week who can give you advice on home presentation. Lastly, we want to drive through the neighborhood to see if there’s anything currently going on that we should be aware of. Things change over time, so we want to meet you at your property to ensure your property is being appropriately represented.
The listing appointment will typically take between 1 and 2 hours. During your scheduled appointment, a Don Anthony Realty Appointment Agent will go over the state approved listing agreement and disclosures so that you fully understand what you are signing, as well as work with you to obtain all of the necessary information about your property to be able to advertise it effectively to potential buyers. Once the Appointment Agent gets back to the office, we will schedule the professional photographer and measurer to get the process started on the way to getting your property sold!
