Two Critical Questions to Ask
BEFORE Choosing An
Agent To Sell Your Home

1) How Do You Define Marketing? 
        Many agents will answer this question with an explanation about Advertising. Advertising and Marketing are NOT the same thing. In fact, Advertising is just one Component of a comprehensive Marketing Plan, which also includes Pricing, Packaging, and Market Positioning, and each is critical to the Property selling process.

2) How Quickly Do You Return Phone Calls, Emails, and Other Communications?
        Some agents are busy. Some would rather be doing something else. Either way, if they're not diligent about promptly returning phone calls they miss selling opportunities from agents or potential buyers. In today's competitive marketplace, a quick response is a must, potentially making the difference between creating a sale, or losing one.


Value

The most important concept in real estate is very simple... "Property is only worth what someone else is willing to pay to purchase it." However, ones perception of value (the amount they'd be willing to pay) can easily be influenced. This is where Effective Marketing becomes important!

We have extensive experience in creating, designing, and implementing effective marketing strategies that build Perceived Value in the mind's of potential buyers. Learn More Here.


Foreclosure/Short Sale

Foreclosure is a real problem today and has led to an increase in the number of short sales. Unfortunately, many agents don't really understand what a short sale is. We are Certified Loss Mitigation Counselors and know well the short sale process.

For buyers, it's a great way to purchase property at a greatly discounted rate. For those in danger of losing their home, a short sale is a great way to save ones credit rating/history from the devastating effects of foreclosure. We are extremely sensitive to this terrible situation and have a sincere desire to help. If you know someone in the Tampa area in need of such help, please Click Here to help them: Prevent Foreclosure.


Pricing Strategy

Is reducing price always the best way to sell a home? Not necessarily! A lower price might sell a property faster, but it might not and, depending upon market conditions, might NOT be the best answer for the seller. (Please read this Brief Article for an astonishing example.)
