Selling your home – cash in on your investment

If you are thinking about selling your home, this is still a great time to sell especially in Anacortes WA, and Skagit County.

There are a few important things to consider when selling your home. Your real estate broker will guide you to get top dollar when selling your home.

Market Condition

The real estate market is always fluctuating. Your real estate broker should discuss the current market conditions prior to listing, on the day your home is active on the market, and periodically during the listing. Communication is key!

Price Point

Pricing your home for the current market is important for maximum exposure and ultimately, a satisfactory sale. Factors that determine a property’s value: location, design, amenities, competing properties, supply, and demand.

Market Exposure

A good real estate broker will focus on what they are able to control – market exposure and negotiating offers. A multi-channel approach to market your property is a must. The key to selling your home is placing your property where buyers are searching.
