Data Based Pricing – The list price is a marketing tool! We conduct detailed research on the local real estate market at large and your property specifically to determine a list price that will attract the most qualified buyers. Final list price is based on real numbers and up to date data.
Prepping With Purpose – Home sellers who clear the clutter, deep clean their homes and tidy their yards, complete light repairs, paint and stage they get the biggest bang for their buck. Buyers who can see the highlights and features of a property without distraction make strong offers and envision themselves in the space make strong offers and successfully close deals.
