Text Box: Selling a home can be the largest business transaction most of us will ever make. It is time consuming and complex. Its outcome is far from certain. A YRREB Realtor can help to ensure that you come out a winner. Not a loser. Arriving at an accurate estimate of value for your home is one of your YRREB Realtors first and most important jobs. This entails analyzing your home and comparing it to other similar houses for sale or recently sold in the neighbourhood. It may also involve a broader market survey using sales statistics available only to qualified Realtors. In the end, you will be sure the price you set reflects the true value of your home under current market conditions. It is up to you what you want to sell your home for. A YRREB Realtor gives you the information to help you make an educated decision on what to list your home for. A price you can live with. Depending on your circumstances, and the current market, your YRREB Realtor will develop a marketing plan that may include: An Open House. There are two kinds of Open House. One is solely for Realtors, so they can assess your home against the needs of their clients; and the second is an advertised Open House for all potential buyers. In either case, your YRREB Realtor takes care of all the details and acts on your behalf at your home, while you spend the Open House time elsewhere. Advertising. Effective newspaper advertising, tailored to your home and local market, can be placed for you by your YRREB Realtor. Lawn signs and direct mail flyers featuring your home are other forms of advertising frequently used by YRREB Realtors. Listing Choices. Your Realtor may recommend an exclusive listing. This gives the Realtor sole authority to offer your property for sale. Most YRREB Realtors use the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) MLS provides access to a much broader base of potential buyers nation wide. Tips and hints. Whether or not your home shows well to prospective buyers can determine how long it stays on the market and what it sells for. Your YRREB Realtor can give you tips. Example: fresh paint, flowers, rearranging furniture, removing clutter, … all to improve the marketability and "curb appeal" of your home and create a good first impression.
