Listing Life-Line: Don't Stagnate on the Market

A major kiss-of-death for home sellers could be a lingering listing. Unfortunately the longer a house sits on the market, the more stigmatized it becomes, especially in this low-inventory climate where homes are being scooped up as fast as they’re being listed. Follow these simple insider tips to avoid listing pit-falls and help your house stand out against the rest.

The most common reason a home doesn’t sell is due to an over-inflated price tag. If a house is priced appropriately there is no reason the seller shouldn’t be getting multiple offers. First, the seller must be educated about the current market and the homes around them. A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is crucial to know what similar houses are selling for. One factor affecting the price may be the seller’s current debt; listing with a flat fee MLS listing service (like House Connect) saves the home-seller potentially thousands of dollars, giving the seller some wiggle room in their asking price. House Connect also offers a free CMA when you call in to help you determine the best price for your home.

Another common sale-killer: presentation, namely décor & repairs. While the currently low inventory means there aren’t as many fish in the sea, home buyers are still looking for their fish. It is important to present your home as being well-suited for any potential buyer. That means keeping it clean & airy, NO CLUTTER, using neutral colors, and highlighting your house’s best aspects.

Don’t forget DIY home remedies. Some inexpensive repairs could keep bad first-impressions at bay. Replacing old door hinges, light switch plates, and heating & AC vent covers is inexpensive yet priceless for savvy sellers. House Connect offers its sellers extensive access to tips on home staging, DIY repairs, & current market trends via our various social media profiles, website, & blog.

Last Listing Toxin: Lack of Exposure. You could have the best property in the world…decorated perfectly for any buyer, no repairs needed, and priced immaculately…but if no buyer can see it you may as well be located on the moon. Listing with House Connect gets your listing in both Atlanta MLS services and syndicated on over 100 websites! Better yet with House Connect, YOU can provide the pictures of your property that will be exposed on all those sites. That means capturing each room at its best angle, promoting that great view from the family room that only you know about, and highlighting your outdoor entertainment area with a seasonal place setting when the sun hits it just right.

Avoiding these common listing pitfalls and thinking outside of the box will help you sell your home in no time. Listing with House Connect for a flat fee of $499* and using our expertise will help you sell even quicker AND save you money. How much easier can it get?

So What IS House Connect?

The most common question we get is “How is House Connect different than any other real estate company?” so we decided to post a blog about it. House Connect was developed based on the principle of offering a solution to home sellers here in the Metro Atlanta Market because the majority of Home Sellers today do not have as much equity in their homes today as they did just 5 years ago. Additionally, many sellers argue the value of a listing agent since they can research the internet and find many tools online to help them.

Some home sellers still may not know it, but the Listing Agent commission is part of YOUR selling fees. If you list your home for sale with many of the traditional real estate brokerages, you’re responsible for paying commissions.

So how is House Connect different? With House Connect, you pay a one-time fee to list your house. Instead of 6 %, you’re only responsible for the 3% Selling Agent commission (which will be calculated on the final sales price and charged at closing), saving you potentially thousands of dollars. Here’s an example:

If you listed your house for $100,000 with a traditional real estate agency, 3% would go to the Listing Agent and 3% would go to the Buyers Agent, costing you $6,000. List the same home with House Connect, and a flat fee of $499 plus an FMLS fee of .0012% ($120) is all you pay for your listing ($619 total), saving you $2,381! YOU can decide if that savings goes towards making your listing price more competitive or directly into your pocket!

…and the proof is in the pudding. We recently listed a house in Roswell that sold within 15 days! Still trying to sell on your own or using traditional Real Estate companies? Check out our website and see what we can do for you.

Some of the services you will receive for free when listing with House Connect include:

· a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help you determine the right asking price for your home

· a House Connect expert that will assist in showing your home, negotiating offers, and completing the closing process

· entry into 2 multiple listing services that are utilized in the Atlanta area as well as over 55 real estate for-sale specialty sites.

…and much more!
