FOR SELLERS
Sellers’ Frequently Asked Questions
To help ease your selling experience, here are some questions that
are commonly asked by sellers, as well as Karin Vondereau's solutions.
Q: HOW DO YOU PRICE A HOME?
A: Your home will sell for whatever the market
will bear. Supply and demand are the magic words. Your home will
sell in the range of what similar homes in your neighborhood are
selling for. Because every home is unique, your home will probably
sell in either the high or low end of that range. It will depend
on it's condition, improvements in the home, current market conditions,
and supply and demand in the market. Karin Vonderau will
do a computerized market analysis to help you decide where to price
your home to get the highest price for your home. See the diagram
for more details.

Q: IS A FOR SALE SIGN ENOUGH TO SELL MY HOME?
A: Yard signs, newspaper ads and open houses have
a very small chance of getting your home sold. Only 1% of all buyers
buy a house they've seen at an Open House, only 3% of all buyers
buy a house they've seen advertised. Most qualified buyers are generated
by Realtors through referrals, past customers and clients, and various
proactive marketing methods. In other words, most buyers are generated
from a pool of buyers who have been professionally nurtured and
developed over time. That's why it is so important to engage
the services of a Realtor who has developed a substantial and successful
business over the years. You can greatly improve your chances
of getting the highest price from the most qualified buyers by working
with the most successful Realtor on the West Side, KARIN VONDERAU.
Q: WHY NOT LIST WITH THE REALTOR WHO GIVES YOU THE HIGHEST PRICE?
A: A dangerous thing to do! Select the Realtor
with the highest credentials, market value is a separate issue!
Pricing a home accurately in the beginning will contribute immensely
to a quick and successful sale of the home. Insist on a written
market analysis, a Realtor who has the experience and the results
in your market place. Ask how many homes the Realtor has actually
listed and sold in your area. Then decide on the price.

ATTENTION TO MY LISTING?
