Selling a Home

soldWhen you are selling your home, buyers rarely walk through your front door. In most cases, you need to bring your home to the available marketplace of buyers. Effective marketing helps ensure that your property receives maximum exposure to attract a ready, willing and able buyer.

The appearance of your home, its current physical conditions, amenities, the first impression it leaves with prospective buyers, timing, and other considerations affect the sale of your home. Be sure to explore tips for increasing your home's value. Have you considered that home prices in your neighborhood and the special features of your property are also factors used for pricing your home?

When you work with a Pollema Auction and Real Estate agent, you can count on a specialist who can answer your questions, apply his or her in-depth knowledge of current market conditions, and access extensive resources that can expedite the sale of your home.



Other Reminders

Stand across the street and view your home. First impressions are important. Half the houses are sold before the buyer get out of the car.

Potential buyers usually feel more comfortable if the owners are not present.

If people unaccompanied by an agent, request to see your property, please refer them to a Pollema Real Estate Agent.

Leave your cell phone number or any other number where you can be reached, if you are leaving town.
