Questions to AskEvery Agent BeforeListing Your Home5

How will you market my hometo local buyers?

Real estate remains hyper local. In 2012, the NationalAssociation of REALTORS® reported that home buyers onlymoved about 12 miles from their previous residence. Thatmeans there is a very good chance the buyer of your homelives in your town or one nearby.

Buying a home is not an impulse purchase and it takes aboutthree months from the time a buyer starts their search to sign-ing a contract. During that time, they continue to work, shop,eat, and play in areas immediately adjacent to your home andcommunity. Ask your agent what their plan is to reach out tothat local buyer.

How will you market my hometo out of market buyers?

Your home’s price and community could attract relocatingbuyers. Listing your home on one of the many free Internetlisting services like Realtor.com, Trulia.com or Zillow.comis a good starting point, much like a phone book listing, butit requires a buyer seek out the site, and sift through searchresults to find your home, which it’s not an aggressive market-ing program. To get the best results, successful agents mustuse outbound marketing and other forms of media toreach out to buyers in other areas.

How will you market my hometo other local top agents?

Holding open houses is always a good investment. Both agentsand local home shoppers can actually see the unique characterof your home versus just looking at online photos. It engagesother local agents, which can also bring you a buyer morequickly. Additionally, professional quality printed materialslike flyers and postcards keep your home in front of them longafter they walk out the door.

As encouraging news of the reviving housing market gains momentum, many homeowners will again consider selling their home.If you’re like most sellers, a home is your single largest financial asset, and the commission paid to a real estate professional is substantial.Therefore, you should have high expectations of an agent, and fully understand the strategies and tools they use to market your home.To be sure your home is sold quickly and for the best price, ask an agent these questions before listing your home with them:

What types of media will you useto advertise my home?

In today’s multi-media world advertising is everywhere, and theway consumers find information is constantly changing.

Be cautious of agents who use only the web to market yourhome. Your agent must understand the importance of multiplemedia, like social media, mobile apps, text codes, local realestate magazines, direct mail and other printed materials toactively reach out to buyers everywhere – not just passively hop-ing for buyers to find your listing online.

How are you going to realisticallyprice my home?

Pricing a home requires an intimate knowledge of the market toget it right. You want to get the best price, but there can be adisconnect between your expectations as a seller and the pricefor which your home will realistically sell.

If an agent overprices your home, it may ultimately sell for lessthan it would have if priced correctly from the beginning. Itcould also create conflict with the bank’s appraisal when thebuyer tries to secure a mortgage.

Ask to see a comparison of list price, sold price, and number ofdays on market for your agent’s ten most recent transactions.Homes that sit on the market too long and go through multipleprice reductions are typically overpriced.

Calculate the commission you pay to get your home sold andwe think you will agree that you have the right to expect a veryaggressive campaign. The best agents in your town will meet orexceed the expectations that we’ve laid out here and you deserveto work with only the best.

Did you spot it? Here’s a hint: it isn’tthe roofing shingles or the special nails. Itisn’t the gold-plated faucets... or anythingyou could even see with the naked eye.

For instance, the house in the pictureabove qualifies for this program. It’s abeautiful 3 bedroom, new constructionhome right here in the Puget Soundregion. It’s in a quiet neighborhood ofnew homes and close to shopping, med-ical facilities, recreational activities andmore.

It’s part of a new government backedmortgage program that allows Americansover the age of 62 to buy retirementhomes in Washington with 50% downand never have a mortgage payment aslong as they live in the home. The home-

buyer is only responsible for tax andinsurance payments.

You can use this program to purchasevirtually any single family home, condo;even multi- family homes up to 4 units!Mobile homes are also okay as long asthey were built after 1978. There are noincome qualifications for the program.

The only requirements are that you areat least 62 years old, have a cash downpayment no more than 50%, and are notin the middle of a foreclosure, had recenta short sale of an FHA loan, or have anopen bankruptcy.
