How to Guarantee You'll Get Your Home Sold
And...
For The Highest Possible Price!
Answer: Focus In On The Major Key Issues And... Ask The
Really Tough Questions When You Interview Your Next Agent!
When You Do, You're Guaranteed To Sell Your Home Faster
And For More Money!
So, your listing has expired and you're wondering: "What am I
going to do?" You need your home sold!
The most important thing you can do right now is ask, "Where
did I go wrong?"
You see, marketing a home takes more than just sticking a sign in
your yard and putting your property up on the MLS (Multiple
Listing Service)... any agent can do that! It takes aggressive,
innovative marketing to sell your home in today's marketplace!
What do I mean?
Well, in today's marketplace there are only so many buyers out
there who are ready and able to purchase a home. So, if you want
to sell your home this time, your new agent has to aggressively
identify these potential buyers belore other agents "get
their hooks into them" and guide them to a different
property.
The fact is, when you enter the market to sell your home, you
enter one of the most competitive businesses in existence...
anywhere! Competition is fierce and if you're not ready for it...
your home just sits on the market. So, the first major key to
effectively market your home is to identify potential buyers.
Remember, there are only so many buyers to go around... and your
agent has to find those buyers first - before one of the hundreds
of other agents out there reaches them and guides them into a
different property!
So, how does an agent identify these "hot" prospects
before the competition? This is where the "rubber meets the
road"! This is what separates the weak agent from the shrewd,
business-minded marketing professional you want to hire.
Your Agent Absolutely Must Have An Aggressive Marketing Strategy!
The best agents use every available marketing tool, technology,
approach, contact or potential avenue to generate prospective
buyers for your property!
One key element is they understand the value of
"effective" advertising! They realize that in today's
competitive market they have to create ads that generate a
response. They can't just splash their name out there and expect
people to call. They have to craft their ads to give prospects a
compelling reason to call.
Advertising is a crucial factor in the success of marketing
anything, including your home! So, how does the agent you're
considering separate him or herself from competitors? All their
ads look virtually the same. So, what's unique about your new
agent that's going to grab prospects and get them to pick up the
phone and call?
In today's marketplace, it's tough! Potential buyers have been
harassed, high pressured and pushed around so much... it's no
wonder that it's hard to get them to call! I'm tired of pushy
salespeople too... I can relate!
They use razor-sharp strategy & cutting-edge technology as
THE ADVANTAGE!
The best agents overcome this huge obstacle with a razor-sharp
marketing strategy, combined with cutting-edge technology, to
generate buyer after buyer!
Remember, the major key to generating a buyer for your home is to
reach your prospect first.
The first two questions then are:
1. How are they going to make the phone ring with lots of new
prospects for your home? And...
2. What's going to give them the edge and get them to the
"starting block"
first? Then comes the next question. How sharp are your agent's
negotiating skills? What kind of results have they produced for
past clients? This is so crucial!
Most people think that selling a home is like being a tour guide.
Show the prospect around, ask if they like it and write up the
paperwork. Well, if that's all there was to it, your former agent
would have closed on your house already!
Your Agent Absolutely Must Have Strong Fundamental Negotiating
Skills!
If you want to get your home sold this time, your next agent
absolutely must have a deep understanding of "The Art of
Negotiating." These skills are vitally important! Without
these skills, you could lose big! With these skills, your agent
will ensure you get the highest possible price for your home.
So, how do you find out about your prospective agent's negotiating
skills? Investigate! Check references. At the very least, call two
or three of your agent's most recent clients. In fact, call at
least one or two of your agent's current clients. See what kind of
effort he or she makes to get the job done!
So, in conclusion, really think these things through! This is such
an important decision. Get prepared! Really fire away with
questions when interviewing an agent. Make them stand the test of
fire... the best agents thrive on it! They can't wait to tell you
all about the innovative methods that separate them from the agent
that'll poke a sign in the ground and act like that's enough! In
today's market, it's most definitely not enough!
