The Secret to Selling in Today's Market!
Ever wonder why so many homes go on the market, yet just a fraction of those homes actually go to a closing? While it is always a combination of location, condition and price, it really comes down to one thing: PRICE.
If a home is in a harder to sell location, it will sell with the right price. If the condition is poor, it will sell with the right price.
In today’s market it takes a COMPELLING PRICE to get your home chosen over the others it is competing against. Today’s market is a cross between a beauty contest and a pricing war. It has to look great AND be priced right. If not, it will linger on the market with the other homes….buyers will look, but without a compelling price, they will “keep looking.” You really want it priced where they leave and worry it might be gone if they don’t move fast. I call that the “worry price.”
The big question in a sellers mind is “How do I price it to sell, but not lose money by under pricing it?” That is when the help of an experienced Realtor is most important.
With 20+ years of experience I can read the market and tell you where your home needs to be priced to get it sold. This is not the market to choose just any agent, or a “friend in the business”.

Although the news is full of gloom and doom stories about the Real Estate market, I am here to tell you that it does not need to take months of waiting to sell your home. The Kuchta’s, Kelly & Colleen, recently listed a 3 bedroom, split ranch home, in the Spaeth Farms subdivision, of Hartford. We received an offer within 13 days of being listed. Sellers were thrilled! They didn’t even need to counter. How is this possible?
Simple, when we researched the area, we looked at recent solds AND current active properties. We carefully looked into the history of each property to see where they started with their pricing, as well as, any price reductions that were done along the way. We put all of that information into our market analysis and our sellers were able to fully understand the way sales were trending in their local market. They chose a price that would let the buyers know they were marketing their home realistically - 13 days later, they had an offer.
