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 Real Estate 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 Real Estate 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.

Home
