SELLING REAL ESTATE

The FIRST Priority

The most important aspect of selling real estate is to make sure it is priced correctly. Being absolutely certain that when the property goes on the market it is within a price range that compares fairly with other similar properties in the same area or community, must be your #1 priority.

Advertising is vital. A sign in front of your property is extremely important. Promptly placing it in the Multiple Listing Service is a must. However, without the property being priced correctly and not overpriced, it will, in all likelihood, just sit on the market. It may get shown, but a reasonable offer may not be presented.

All real estate agents desire to list your property. Therefore, if they need to overprice it so you will give them the listing, that is exactly what they will do. Tom Saab Associates will always give you a true fair market value range whether or not we are given the opportunity to represent you.

Market Analysis or Appraisal of Property

The importance of a good market analysis based on reliable property data and analytical skills is now recognized as being essential in the decision-making process when determining the fair market value of a property.

Tom Saab Associates seeks to make sure that a property is placed on the real estate market in the proper price range.

Various items are taken into consideration when studying the value of a property including but not limited to; age, size of lot, type of house, amount of living space, number of rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms, flooring, updating of the interior, special and/or extra features, condition of exterior, garage, off street parking and of course, location.

When doing a market analysis, all of the above data and more is evaluated and compared to other similar properties to help determine the fair price of the property.

However, in many cases, common sense is left out of the equation. Tom Saab Associates will review market trends, take a look into the future to some extent, evaluate the positives as well as negatives that will increase or decrease the value. We will be insightful, thorough, and we will use common sense to help determine the proper sale price for your property.
