HOW
WE MARKET YOUR HOME
Buyers, of course, want to pay as little as
possible for your home. Through detailed comparisons
between your home and recently sold homes, and
other properties currently on the market, together
we can determine what your home is really worth
in today's market. In the industry this is called
a Comparative Market Analysis or a CMA. We do
this for you, for free. It's critical to know
the "price-per-square foot" of homes
that have SOLD recently in your area... this
gives you a much better idea of what your home
might actually sell for, as compared to only
looking at the prices of homes for sale. It’s
also important to compare your home to others
that are truly comparable (in terms of size,
number of bedrooms, age, and many other features),
not to just any home that is in the same neighborhood
as yours.
Buyers have their own timelines, which might
not be yours! We make sure they don't waste
your time by pre-qualifying them as to their
real ability to afford your home. More buyers
interested in your home means more money in
your pocket when it is sold. Our extensive marketing
of your home assures you of maximum value. For
example, this web site (and others) will market
your property all across the Web.
Did you know that over 80% of home buyers turn
FIRST to an Internet home search before calling
a Realtor? Your home will appear on Realtor.com,
Zillow.com, HomesandLand.com and literally DOZENS
of other top national sites (many more websites
than the typical Realtor utilizes). You may
not realize that the MLS and some websites automatically
broadcast listings to a few of the top national
sites (such as Realtor.com). (see
bottom of page) We pay to advertise
your home on many more websites and reach THOUSANDS
more potential buyers than most Realtors.
Here
are just some of the things that we do to market
and sell your home:
1)
We Market your home 24 hours a day
with our “For Sale” sign and our name
and private phone number “rider”.
When Buyers call, they reach us directly. Because
we know your home, we immediately use the opportunity
to sell your home’s great features and benefits.
2)
Our Professional websites:
http://www.nwarkansashomesforsale.com
& http://www.davidsimpson.remaxarkansas.com
We promote and market your home 24 hours a day
on our website. Your home will have its own webpage
to showcase photos of your home and an online
flyer detailing all
the information on your home. Your home will also
be featured on numerous other websites (see
bottom of page)
3)
We get Real Estate Agents excited about selling
your home.
We email a flyer to promote your home to all real
estate agents in Northwest Arkansas. Agents who
have buyers for your home will be notified that
your home is on the market.
4)
Your home will appear on the Regional Multiple
Listing Service (MLS).
Data about your home is
provided instantly to all agents and offices in
Northwest Arkansas.
5)
Professional Listing Information Binder.
We produce an in home binder for buyers to review.
It contains community information, detailed information
on your home, property disclosure, inspection
reports, homeowners association documentation
if applicable and school information. This makes
the new buyer feel comfortable knowing ahead of
time what condition the property they are buying
is in and what the surrounding community has to
offer.
6)
Determine the right price to market your home.
This is the most critical step. We’ll review
market demand, nearby competition, recent sales
and other variables that can affect your home’s
value.
7)
Let you know exactly what’s going on with
Buyer Showings.
We keep you up to date by phone calls, letters
or email. We follow up on all showings with cooperating
agents so you know what agents and buyers are
thinking about your home and represent you at
the presentation of all offers. Most importantly,
we will negotiate forcefully on your behalf to
get you the highest possible price, not try to
make you take the first offer that come to the
table, and show you how much money you will get
when you accept an offer with our estimate of
sellers closing costs. Upon acceptance, we will
coordinate with the cooperating agents, lender,
appraiser, inspectors, and title company, and
of course, handle any complications that can occur
through the closing process so that you and the
buyer get to the closing table on time. And yes,
we actually will be there to attend the closing
with you.
8) When we host
an OPEN HOUSE we advertise in
the Sunday NW Ark. Times in the Real Estate section.
We also announce it on our website and put up
OPEN HOUSE signs in your neighborhood several
days before the event so that potential visitors
in the area are well aware. We also post it on
our Website on your Listings page and our News
page.
