Research Before You Sell

The home selling process is not a secret!

Location, price, and condition are 3 key factors to selling your Southeast Texas home. However, there is much more that often gets overlooked, which is why careful planning to choose the right Southeast Texas real estate agent to list your home is critical. A mistake could cost you thousands of dollars and months of frustration.

Taking your listing without an ability to sell it is a disservice. You will NOT get that type of service from us!

To make your home selling transaction a smooth one you should consider working with an experienced and knowledgeable agent who is grounded in technology, is a good communicator, and is easily reachable. For instance, when searching for the perfect REALTOR® to entrust with selling your property, do they have/are they:

  •  A strong online presence. Is their website easy to navigate, do they use social media in their marketing efforts (to include video), are their listings easily found?
  • According to the National Association of Realtors® over 90% of new buyers begin their home search online. Will those buyers in the 90 percentile find your home? 
  •  Is the agent and their partners or team fully engaged from day 1 and available to show your home during the week and weekends?  Will they provide full-time working partners as well as support staff that ensure selling your Southeast Texas home is top priority! We make sure your house gets the attention it needs to be seen by prospective buyers.
  •  A proven track record. Has your prospective agent sold homes consistently and throughout the area? Are they knowledgeable of the market? Make sure your agent has a plan.
  •  Fact based advice. Make sure ALL prospective agents back up their suggested list price by showing you comparable recent sales in your community as well as listings that have expired and active competition that were pulled from the Multiple Listing Service. Listing at the right price makes all the difference, and is a big contributor in whether your house sits on the market for months or receives a quick offer with offer price closer to list price and closes in a reasonable time-frame.

Anybody can agree with the price you set, but a true professional will risk losing the listing to make sure you understand what price the market will accept!

There are many other subjective factors you will consider when getting ready to sell your Southeast Texas home. All based on your specific preferences, desires, and motivation to sell. We will assist you by providing insights on listing/closing terms, staging through the buyers eye, preparing home for professional photography, repairs/renovation advice, buyer appeal, as well as communicating with you all the way through the home selling process.
