Sell Your Home Faster, For More More Money

Do you want to sell your home faster and for more money?

Some home sellers like to price their homes at the top of the market or higher, thinking this will deliver them more money.  I have worked with several sellers in my many years in real estate who pursued this approach.  It didn't work well and will not work now, especially in today's competitive market.  If the home is over priced,  it doesn't get showings, it becomes stale, and it then requires significant improvements and/or price reductions to sell.

The real estate market can be like the produce department at the grocery store.  Buyers are looking for the freshest, highest quality produce at a good price.  

I work with many sellers who work closely with me to prepare their home appropriately for sale, and we price reasonably to compared to recent sales.  Their house then sells quickly for best possible price.  

When you are interviewing a real estate agent to help you sell your home, one of the most important questions should be is how fast do your listings sell?

My listings sell on average in 5.3 days compared to ~47 days for most agents. 

In the past year my listings have sold or gone under contract (called Days on Market or DOM) in an average of 5.3 days.  

Below is a chart from the Austin Board of Realtors showing the the average Days on Market over the past few years.  The average DOM is seasonal with about 25-35 days during the late spring/early summer market increasing to 80-90 days during the Dec/January holiday season.

My proven multistep system plus
hard work delivers results.  

Selling a home faster when fresh on the market nets the seller more money with less stress.  My average sold price to list price was 100.1% over the past year.  The average sold price to list price for the Austin MLS was 97%.

Many of my listings receive multiple offers, which drives up pricing in a competitive bidding situation.  Driving a multiple offer situation is always my goal which enables my clients to receive the best return from their home sale.  

My most important statistic is
client satisfaction. 

My clients are highly satisfied that my home selling process and attention to detail allows them to get the most money with the minimum amount of stress.
