Do You Need to List Your Home?

Interviewing your selling agent is just like interviewing any other job candidate. Your agent needs to know the market and be able to present your house to other agents and buyers in a professional and confident manner. While you may be tempted to select an agent solely on the commission rate, be sure to ask questions about how your home will be marketed, the reputation of the agency the agent represents and determine if the agent displays the sort of drive and enthusiasm needed to set your home apart in a busy marketplace. For more information about the value of your home, refer to the seller's FAQ, email or contact Jeremy today 281-387-7689 for a free, no hassle, market analysis based on recent homes sold in your neighborhood.

To sell a home in today's market, you need an arsenal of marketing efforts:

• Listing on the Houston Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service.
• On-site advertising like: open houses, flyer boxes, and brokers' tours. Keller Williams provides access to the best search tools available.
• Print advertising. Keller Williams has its own magazine featuring its listings, advertisement in local newspaper The Tribune, The Houston Chronicle, direct notification to other brokers, and printed postcards distributed right to your neighborhood (did you know that it's often your neighbor who buys or refer your home to their friends, relatives and co-workers?)
• On-line listings on multiple websites including www.williams4yourhome.com; www.har.com; www.kw.com; www.clickkwne.com; www.homepages.com; www.homes.com; www.trulia.com; Yahoo! Real Estate; Google Base; www.HotPads.com; www.realtor.com; and www.homeseekers.com.
• While some realtors offer one or two of these marketing tools, many do not. Jeremy goes for the slam dunk! In home sales, there's never too much exposure. To ensure that your home attracts the most number of buyers - Jeremy even includes VisualTours in his selling packages. Virtual tours help buyers see your home as a livable space that they can experience, not just some 2-dimensional photograph that requires a buyer to imagine what the rooms may feel like. The more information you give buyers, the easier it is for them to make the next step in the sale and the closer you are to moving into your next dream home.
