Your Prescription For Selling:

Determining the selling price
Determining a realistic asking price is the most important part of marketing your home. Buyers are looking at homes and trying to find the best value for their money. Making sure your home is priced competitively is very important. If your price is too high, you'll miss out on the buyers looking at homes in the price range that your home should be in. Starting too high will keep some potential buyers away. Then, by the time you lower the price, it may be to late. Buyers may have found another home. Others may wonder why the house has not sold or think you are desperate to sell and offer an even lower price than you would have received had it been priced right to begin with. If your home is priced right, it will attract more potential buyers and will sell faster because Athens GA Realtors ® will focus on your home because it is more marketable.

Here's Where We can help.

There is a lot involved in marketing your home. The first step will be to conduct a free Comparative Marketing Analysis(CMA). We will look at records of comparable homes that have sold in your area and also look at homes that are currently on the market. We will compare these properties to yours and this will help in determining the correct selling price of your home and make it more marketable.

Our marketing program consists of:

• Professionally designed and written ads.
• Open house programs.
• Brochures, postcards and personal marketing material.
• Placing your home on different websites on the Internet for the world to see.
• Putting your home on the MLS for all other agents and customers to see.
• Keeping you updated on potential customers and market changes.
• Placing yard sign on your property for neighbors and those passing by to see.
• Representing you and your best interest during all negotiations.
• Handling all the details from listing to closing, so you won't have to
• Advertising in local Real Estate Publications

We would love the opportunity to help you look around at homes on the market or to show you how we can assist you to market and sell your home.

We will listen to your needs and work for you.

Our dedication is full time.  Call us today to cure your house needs.

Improving the appeal

When agents are showing your home, you want the potential buyer's first impression to be a lasting one or they may not be interested. Buyers are looking for a home, not a house. Here are a few simple things that will boost the appeal and overall appearance of your home and help improve the chances of a sale.

• De-Clutter
  • Remove clutter from bookcases, tables and countertops (even in cabinets)

  • Boxed items should be stacked neatly in the garage not in closets
• Kitchens and Bathrooms can sell your home
