It's the sellers advantage to ensure the buyer gets a separate Realtor who is fully dedicated, loyal and works hard to represent just the buyer. When problems occur it's usually the buyer who has concerns. High Desert buyers will feel more comfortable knowing they have their own representation.

The number one reason homes sell is Marketing. High Desert Homes have to be priced competitively. Good Realtors® tend show buyers the best priced homes first. It's best to be priced a bit lower then your closes competition (homes For Sale). Let the other homes "For Sale" sell your home.

Have you ever seen dirty cars on a dealership car lot? Why? Dirt does not sell. The same applies to homes. Homes need to be clean, cheery, fresh and bright especially when seen from the street. When prospective buyers come to visit their first impression starts at the street. Then the front door become very important because while they are waiting to come inside they are looking over the front door area. These buyers are not looking for how nice your home is. They are actually looking to disqualify your home from their list. Bad overcomes the good. Dead plants, dirty anything, pealing paint, etc. will do it.

My best example is an auto dealership. The cars sparkle, smell nice, get people excited to buy. People buy on emotion of feeling good. Your home needs to have a good warm feeling when you see it, touch it and leave it. If you been thinking about painting the front door, now is your excuse to do it. You may not get the chance to enjoy it, but it will help sell your home.

Risk Management is taking the necessary steps to reduce after sale liabilities. After the sale closes, some buyers may become unhappy with their purchase. This is not uncommon, changing is difficult for some people. Buyers tend to look for someone to blame, specifically the seller. These problems can be costly. Since homeowners have very little experience in this area, Tom recommends hiring a Realtor® who understands the necessary paperwork to help protect all parties involved. There are no guarantees, but we do our best.

We have touched upon a few subjects homeowner should know. Homeowners get the advantage of experience when they hire the right Realtor® who understands what it takes to sell High Desert homes in today's world.
