Market Analysis
It’s a well-known fact to real estate
professionals that the market value of your home can be very different
from the assessed value. Doing an accurate market analysis of your
property’s value is an important first step in listing it for sale. Mark
has access to accurate market information through the Multiple Listing
Service (MLS) and the necessary knowledge about the Johnson County
market to be able to perform a fair and accurate market analysis of your
home’s value so he can help you set the right price.
Pricing Your
Home
Deciding the selling price for your home is one
of the key aspects that will determine how quickly your home will sell.
If you price it too high, you risk discouraging potential buyers from
viewing it; price it too low and you lose some of your investment. Mark
will be honest with you in his professional opinion of what your home’s
selling price should be, and he will discuss the market analysis
research he’s gathered with you step-by-step to be sure you completely
understand how he reached his suggested selling price.
Listing Your Home
After determining the proper selling price, Mark
will then complete and submit the necessary forms to the MLS so that all
Johnson County area realtors have access to your listing information.
Coldwell Banker Real Estate Professionals has over 55 agents alone, and
networking with other realtors greatly increases your chances of finding
the right buyer who is willing to pay the fair and proper value for your
property. Additionally, he will market your home through a variety of
venues to be sure the largest number of potential buyers are aware of
your listing. Mark will discuss specific marketing strategies when
meeting with you to gather information about your home.
Mark will also be sure to prepare, explain to you and submit all other
required forms to be sure you don’t experience snares and pitfalls
during the selling process. He is up-to-date and knowledgeable in all
recent changes and current requirements in reference to the State of
Iowa real estate transaction laws.
