Free Expert Market Valuation

The selling of your home is probably the biggest financial transaction you will have in your lifetime. As a result, you want to be certain that you are getting the best price and terms on the sale of your home. In many cases, realtor®s will come to your home and give you what is commonly referred to as a CMA or Comparative Market Analysis where your home is compared to other properties that are listed and that have been sold. While this in and of itself is a good basis for determining price, it is not the whole story.

At The Hudson Real Estate Team, we offer a much more in depth look at other considerations such as the market conditions, and analyze several other factors which may influence the sale of your home in a very positive way. Our EMV or Expert Market Valuation will show you the true value of your home and enable you to make an informed decision.

Top of Mind Marketing

Most people don't realize it, however, the truth is that the majority of buyers in Real Estate find out about properties through their realtor®. A few find out through friends as a result of lawn signs and/or the Internet and very rarely does a homebuyer find a home through newspaper marketing. Our winning Top of Mind Marketing will make certain that as many potential qualified buyers as possible, are aware of your property. Studies done by various divisions of the Real Estate Board on Vancouver Island have shown that on the average:

Buyers find property through the following media.

40% are first introduced to their home by a realtor®
16% discover the property from the For Sale sign
21% first see the property on the internet
8% see the property in the newspaper
3% see it in the MLS® catalogue
1.6% are first exposed via an open house
10.4% through miscellaneous marketing

Thus, by focusing on the Top of Mind Marketing strategy that keeps the property fresh in the realtor®s mind, with a professional lawn sign, and best possible exposure on the internet and even recognition in the paper, we have the ability to ensure that your property is exposed to the most potential buyers in the market.

Preparing Your Home For Sale

One of the best things you can do to add value to your home is to have it professionally staged. At The Hudson Real Estate Team, we have an Accredited Staging Professional on our team. Your Home Staging is FREE when you list with us.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. We know you love your home the way it is, however, it's our job to make everyone else fall in love with your home. The way you live in your home and the way we will market and sell your home are two different things. It is important to make certain that the first impression is a favourable one. That's the purpose behind this piece "Preparing Your Home For Sale".

If you have ever been in model homes, you know how good they look. There are things that can be done to give it that "model home" look so prospective buyers will want it and everything else in the house that you're willing to sell. When homes have this kind of appeal, they sell quickly and usually for the highest price possible. Another interesting characteristic of homes that look this good is that usually the transaction is remarkably free of problems.

One word of warning...don't wait to see if the house will sell first before implementing staging ideas. The property needs to look good from the street, up the sidewalk, on the front porch, throughout the house, in the darkest closets, and even in the attic. You definitely want to give the impression of a well cared for home. You want the prospective buyer to feel that this home is quality all the way through, not just on the surface.

You'll never have more activity on the home than you will in the first three to four weeks of the listing. The reason is simple: there are buyers out there who have seen everything available and for one reason or another, haven't bought. They are just waiting for something new to come on the market and agents are just as anxious. When that new property does hit the market, buyers and agents both will scramble to look at it. It is common knowledge that the property will usually sell for the highest price during this time.

Typical buyers put all of their savings into the down payment and closing costs and don't have anything left over to improve the home such as replacing the shag carpet. Those buyers will just have to live with that carpet until they can afford to replace it. If buyers have a choice of two comparable properties similar in price, they'll choose the one in the best condition. Just as on the other hand, if two properties are similar in condition, the buyers will choose the one that is less money.
