Offered you a free and DETAILED Comparative Market Analysis and explained the ramifications of over-pricing your home (see "Seven deadly sins of buyers and sellers" on this site). My comparative market analysis shows you the search, the search results, the winnowed down results and the logic behind my thinking...it is not simply thrust at you without showing you all the comparables as many agents would do. You need to be clear and comfortable on price, especially in this market. Please read my testimonials.
Discussed with you how commissions work, what the end agent makes and when to offer additional incentives to make other agents work for on your behalf? Has your agent discussed variable commissions with you and what that may mean for your sale, both good and bad?
Provided you with 12 photos of your home to be posted on the MLS? Many Realtors have been giving only one photo and typically, the seller never knows!
Provided you with a write-up and photo of your home to be emailed to scores of other offices to encourage a co-broke offer on your home? Hand delivered your 500 postcards to 500 other agents to help enlist a co-broke? Distributed flyers to local area bulletin boards, stores, windshields?
Offered and promoted a 50/50 commission split with reciprocating offices to increase incentive to OTHER agents? My office took the lead on this - get the MOST out of your commission dollar!
Advertised your home aggressively and consistently until it sells? We advertise your home in the Milford Cabinet, the Bedford Journal, The Hollis-Brookline Journal and the Merrimack Journal. I will further advertise your home in alternate publications such as the Nashua Telegraph, the Amherst Citizen, The Monadnock Ledger or other suitable publication as makes sense with an eye to budget and common sense.
Offered NATIONAL relocation packages and referral programs? We do this through well established relocation and referral programs.
Offered you 70 plus agents that will be intimately familiar with your home and seeking to find you buyers from the moment you list? Distance permitting, we caravan your home with many agents at the beginning of your listing period, so we know what we are selling first-hand.
Provided you with exposure to the market through direct mailings of postcards to 25-100 immediate neighbors?
Provided you with outstanding signage? 17% of all homes sold were as a result of the sign sitting on your property. Is your signage outstanding? Does it have a call in number campaign? Does it have a brochure box? And after all this...it is still hard to sell your home. That's the brutal truth of this market. HOWEVER, if you do NOT have all this going for you, if your OTHER choice of agent does not provide all of this to you, then you ARE putting yourself at a disadvantage before the race has even begun.
We do more! It's that simple. Call now (603) 562-5186
