Our team can help
So you’re thinking of selling! If the whole process seems a little overwhelming, then you need to put the experience and dedication of our team and our full-service Brokerage to work for you. Our marketing strategy and Coldwell Banker Rhodes’ services and resources have helped our clients sell faster, and sometimes at a better price than expected. We encourage you to work with us and you will receive our committed efforts in buying or selling your property.
- With the wealth of information available online, many of today’s consumers are incredibly knowledgeable about the home selling and buying process. Add in the desire to save-or make-as much money as possible, it’s easy to see why you might be tempted to pass on hiring a full service Sales Representative and their Brokerage.
- We have over 65 years of combined experience and have worked through and learned from past changing markets, including Number One Team in Canada for Total Sales Volume for Coldwell Banker.
- It is very important to properly price your home according to current market conditions. It is imperative to select your price based on the most recent market activity-beware of evaluations that are considerably higher than others!
- We have a realistic approach to current market conditions and are actively selling real estate and know precisely what the current conditions are and how to work through them. Our local data can show you everything that’s selling right now and what Buyers in your area are prepared to pay for your house.
- Knowledge and experience in a constantly changing market are critical.
- We are available 7 days a week to deal with time-sensitive documents and any other urgent issues. Haggling over contracts and home pricing can lead to negotiation fatigue and poor judgement calls for emotionally invested Buyers and Sellers. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced negotiator who’ll put your best interests first.
- Comprehensive, professional referrals including mortgages, legal, inspectors, contractors and home stagers.
- Ongoing marketing and sales training.
- Listings that sell at a top price are typically those that are exposed to the most Buyers-they are priced well, marketed well and show well.
- Both Buyers and Sellers are encouraged to rely on the knowledge of an experienced Sales Representative in this complex, fast-paced market.
- We believe honesty and integrity create satisfied clients, a good reputation and therefore increases business.
- We give clear, honest advise to our clients so that they can make an informed decision with regard to their real estate needs so that “their” best interest is served, not ours.
Selling Tips
There are, of course, many factors which influence a sale. The following is a suggestion to use as a checklist of items which will bring you closer to a sale. Every item on which you are willing to make a concession moves you closer to a sale.
- Price the property competitively and according to current market demands.
- Allow the property to be shown as much as possible. This is a nuisance, but not as bad as being on the market for 6 months!
- Try to be out of the house whenever a prospective buyer, accompanied by a Sales Representative, wants to see your home. Buyers need to feel comfortable looking around your home, but they can’t do that as long as you’re there.
- Eliminate any barrier to a free flow of traffic in the property. Such items as bulky or extra furniture, house plants that stick into traffic ways, toys or clothes not put away, or beds not made, etc., slow down traffic and make rooms look smaller and darker.
- Pets that provide so much security that no one can see the property without a death wish are a problem.
- A new coat of paint and clean carpets go a long way. This is a small investment in making your home show clean and fresh to potential buyers.
- Your Sales Representative is on your side and won’t get paid until you get results. Advice from a professional is useless unless you take it.
- Look at the front of your house. Size it up objectively and critically (that’s asking a lot of any homeowner!). Ask yourself this question: If a buyer pulled up front, would the appearance pull them inside?
- Make any and all recommended improvements with an eye toward neutral marketing. (Be aware of unusual colors or styles which might clash with a prospective buyer’s taste.)
- Be willing to consider any offer at any time. Remember, you are the final judge of what’s accepted and what’s not!
