Home > Home Selling > The First Three Weeks May Be The Lifeline of Your Home Sale

The skill of pricing a home to sell is not art and neither is it subjective. It comes with proper research and market analysis of surrounding homes within the neighborhood, similar year built and similar features. Correctly-priced homes do not stay on the market long (especially here in the Frisco and northern suburbs area of the Dallas metroplex). Usually around 30 days no matter what your housing market looks like. Yes, I do mean it. If the property is on the market for over 60 days, it is a strong indication that it is overpriced based on its location and features.

The first 3 weeks of the house on the market is one of the most important steps in the sale. With good traffic, it must already have "interests" on the property. It could mean that other visiting agents and their clients have more questions about the property or they are asking for a seller's disclosure. These are the signs that you are on the right track.

Why Is The First Three Weeks The Most Crucial?

Because it typically receives the most traffic regardless of the season: Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter. The first weekend could be slow, but during the week and the second weekend should be busier and peaks at the third weekend. Remember that buyers are usually non-forgiving in this marketplace. If it is indeed over-priced to begin with, they usually WILL NOT return for a second showing even if you reduce the price later. So, the typical seller's response about "I'll list it first, then I can always reduce it" concept does NOT work in a housing market like we have.

Also, the further away you go from the time you initially list your home, the further away you are potentially walking away from your asking price. Thus, the greatest opportunity to sell is when it is "fresh" on the market.

So, if you are serious and thinking about selling your home, get it right the first time. There are important steps to market your home and a resourceful real estate expert in your area CAN and WILL help you get the job done so that you can move on. I employ a systematic market approach that most real estate agents in my area do not use.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Read about what our satisfied clients have to say:

When she arrived for our appointment, we went through the normal preliminary procedures and all was fine. Then she surprised us. She had already done most of the work and only needed to take a few pictures of the inside and determine the price that we would be comfortable asking. She also spent a great deal of time explaining to us how the whole sales process work and what we could expect.

Eric & Tomoko Quere, Plano TX

Ultimately, Loreena introduced us to the house we bought--it was not one we found from our own hours of searching web listings--based on the the comments we had made while we visited these different homes. This is a testimony to her ability to listen well and to work proactively on our behalf.

Jenn & Glen Miller, Denton TX

We were completely impressed with Loreena. She helped us find and buy a home in Frisco. We have very high expectations from a realtor and she surpassed them. Knows her market extremely well, not just the technical market pricing data, but the nuances of all the neighborhoods as well. One of the most responsive and professional persons I've met in my entire business career.

Ruth & Jerry Meek, Frisco TX

I just want to thank you again for your help in selling our house. In this tough economy and market, I really didn't expect to get an offer. But you counseled me so well in pricing the house to sell and yet not letting me accept an offer that was too low. I believe we got the best deal we could have. I was so pleased and surprised with what we walked away with.
