Factors in marketing a house:
Price, location, condition, competition,
and the agent you select
There are several critical factors
that are necessary for a sale. Some of
these are under your control. Some are
not.
The factors that you do not
control are location and competition.
You can’t move your house, so it’s location is what it is. Poor locations can only be compensated for
by a lower price. The market is either
a buyer’s market with lots of competition for the available buyers or it is a
seller’s market with lots of competition for the available houses. In reality, many of the houses on the market
won’t sell due to factors such as poor condition or over-pricing.
The factors that you control
are price, condition, and the agent you select. These are the factors that you should spend the most time working
on, because they give you the biggest chance to impact the market time and
sales price of your house.

We know how to put the puzzle
together.
We’ve done it many times and
we can help you figure it out too!
In order to sell quickly and
for the highest price, the condition must be as close to new as possible. We will advise you on the necessary steps to
take after we have seen your home.
The price is absolutely
critical to selling your house in the least time and for the most amount of
money. Strangely, the homes that are priced
higher than the market indicates they should be priced often sell for much less
than their actual market value! Homes
priced accurately have the best chance of selling close to list. You can depend on our analysis to be
accurate. We will neither give you too
low a price or too high a price. Our
goal is to have our sellers’ homes listed within 5% of where the market
indicates. It doesn’t help the seller
or us to have an overpriced home on the market!
