Customized Marketing Plan

My personal goal is to market and sell your home within the established time frame at the best possible price.  Working for a reputable firm such as Lang Realty allows me the luxury to customize my marketing plan to meet the needs of my clients.

Basic Marketing Plan

I will…

• Continually and carefully evaluate the current  housing market conditions and establish the fair market value for your home.
• With your permission, offer “staging” suggestions when applicable to increase the beauty and value of your home.
• Be responsible to prepare your listing contract and accurately enter all information into the Multiple Listings  Service (MLS).
• Showcase your home to potential buyers with detailed photos and a state of the art brochures and virtual tour.  With many buyers shopping online, this is the most impressive way to present your home.
• Arrange for all property showings, and provide timely feedback.
• Communicate your listing to all other agents within my brokerage group.
• Create a custom unique print and online advertising campaign.  Your home will be featured online in Realtor.com and my personal website, to name a few.
• Frequently hold both broker and public open houses for local exposure on specified dates.
• Communicate with you weekly and keep you informed of any market activity that impacts the price and sale of your home.
• Effectively present and review all offers with you and negotiate the transaction on your behalf.
• Successfully manage the steps from sales contract through to closing.
• Be available to you 24/7 through phone, email, or in person.

Staging your home for sale…

is one of the most important steps in the marketing process.

As we all know, curb appeal has a definite impact on how potential buyers view our home, but that is just the beginning.  In today’s competitive market, sellers should take some time before putting their house on the market to stage the entire home both inside and out.

You must realistically look at your home through the eyes of a potential buyer.  Ask your friends, family, and Realtor for their input, and by all means do not take their comments to heart.  They are trying to help. Many sellers use the help of a professional staging company.

If you cannot afford to hire a professional, here are some simple and “do it yourself” suggestions you may want to consider for your home to become model quality.

Get Organized

The first and probably the most critical task on the “to do” list is to de-clutter.  Buyers want to visualize themselves living in the home. This becomes easier if everything is organized. We want to showcase the garage, the closets, and the kitchen cupboards.  The fewer items displayed on counter tops the better.   My favorite is Rubbermaid.com for tips on how to have these areas  “show like a model”.

Lighting

Decorator ceiling fans and impressive lighting fixtures can create a dramatic affect for a room and add value to your home.  Replacing outdated chandeliers will improve the overall look and feel of a room, and the simple installation of a dimmer switch can upgrade the ambiance.

LightingCatalog.com has a great selection to choose from, and they are priced right as well.  LittmanBros.com Fans – Lighting – Home Decor also has a wide inventory of indoor as well as outdoor lighting.

Plants

Outdoor planters can add warmth to your patio area and front entrance, and  can  hide a multitude of areas not so pleasing to the eye. If you happen to have a green thumb, indoor plants breathe life and warmth into a home.  If not, a few tasteful artificial plants strategically placed can work wonders.

Blinds

Window treatments typically stay with the home.  Buyers will definitely look at their condition and consider them part of the value of the home. Make sure they look their best, and replace when necessary. A few dollars here could reap more in the long run.  Blindsgalore.com has a great selection of name brand blinds with high quality and competitive pricing.

Colors

Keep it light and bright if you can.  While living in our home, we may like to experiment with the newest trends and colors.  But not all potential buyers will appreciate our creativity.  As fresh paint always gives a house the clean and new feeling, take the time to touch up high traffic areas and change dramatic room colors to more of a mainstream appeal.

Kitchen and Bath

The kitchen and bath are the two rooms that can make or break a sale.  Most buyers do not want the project of updating old cabinets or changing counter tops to granite.  They also want a luxurious bathroom that has a certain resemblance to a  day spa.  Modern Bath can show you what is current and how you can compete with fixtures being show in new homes.  Right now there is Free Shipping on bathroom vanities, sinks, faucets and more at ModernBathroom.com

De-personalize

You do not want to distract your buyers attention.  Only leave a select few photos on display.  Unfortunately, you may have to take the collage of the family off of the refrigerator and the walls.  Bathroom and kitchen counters should clear of appliances and personal items.  Not only does this help the house look more spacious, it has the “ready to move in feel” inviting a quicker close.

Showings

When there is a showing or open house scheduled, be sure to have your realtor arrive early and put on all of the lights.  Lighting plays an important role in how well the features in your home are displayed.  Using a scented candle, will also create a positive experience for your audience. Colonial Candle has the  right  scent for every decor.

Pets

Last but certainly not least, if you have a pet please do not leave them home while the house is being shown.  Some folks have allergies, and will have to leave before seeing the beauty of your home.  As a dog lover myself, I have to remain aware that not all people enjoy animals as I do.  Seeing a dog or cat sleeping on the bed may not be attractive to some potential buyers.

Hopefully, these suggestions will add value to the list price of your home.  Talk honestly to your Realtor about the areas in your home that may need some staging expertise.

I wish you all the best in selling your home for a fair market value.
