It’s Monday morning and I’m feeling like an accomplished real estate agent today. Team Patereau has received offers on two of our listings!Having listings is great. Receiving offers on those listings is tantamount to a miracle in today’s market in Gilroy.
Reflecting on what moved potential buyers to take action on these listings, Team Patereau decided that it is a combination of things, number one being price. But other elements had to be just right, too.
On the residential listing in Gilroy the property had several things going for it in addition to price: location, decorating/showabality and curb appeal. We had worked with the sellers to get the home in showing condition, and the seller had worked very hard to do everything we recommended. The house is beautiful, and in general very showable. However, there was a need to de-clutter and de-personalize the home. We gave them almost the same advice that Kate Hart gave in her blog posting, “5 Things Buyers Should Never See in Your Listings.”
I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to get a client who takes our advice, but it’s even more gratifying when they have taken our advice and we actually get results from it in the form of an offer.
If you’re thinking of selling, or, as was the case for our client, if you're getting transferred and need to sell in a short timeframe, give Team Patereau a call. We’ll work with you to make your property the best it can be, and price it right to get action. Remember, homes get bought and sold even in slow markets.
