Jaguars Game Day! Must mean Real Estate!!
Ha ha... huh?
Prudential Network Realty is the official realty partner of the
Jacksonville Jaguars! I'll be teaming up with another agent from my office and sitting outside the stadium before the game this Saturday to speak with anyone about their real estate questions. We will be on the South End of the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, under a white tent between Gate 1 and Pepsi Plaza.
Why would you want to take time out on Game Day to talk real estate? (Or, you might wonder, what makes us think it's worthwhile to be there?!) Well, many people are stressed over real estate but have not taken the time to ask questions of a real estate professional. We are offering a quick and easy way to have a short conversation which might lead to better understanding the current market.
I came up with two flyers which I'll have available. For prospective buyers, a listing of homes for sale all over town selling for less than $200,000 all the way up to over $2 million. For sellers, I've concocted the
Sellers Game Plan!
I've transcribed the above flyer below. The football metaphors might be corny, but the advice is rock solid. Anything works when trying to make the best of what many perceive as a lousy real estate environment... What do you think?
Seller's Game Plan
HOW TO WIN IN A BUYER’S MARKET
brought to you by Prudential Network Realty
GET FIT: Prepare Before Kickoff
Get a home inspection and make repairs in advance. Doing so puts you the seller in control and ahead of the game. Many deals fall through due to a surprise in the inspection process; it's better to know and deal with the issues in advance. Don’t let penalties take you out of the game.
STAY LEAN: Declutter, Depersonalize, and Organize
How you live in a home is different from how you sell a home. Get rid of clutter to make rooms seem larger. Don't have too many personal family photos. Neutralize colors when possible. (The new buyers need to picture themselves living there, not you.) Organize closets and drawers to give the illusion of more space. Now you're ready to play!
GAME FACE: Watch the Curb
Your house could be great on the inside but buyers need to get in the front door first! You can't win if you never even get the ball. Curb appeal such as landscaping or something as simple as your front door color can make all the difference and puts a good first impression in the buyer's mind.
GET IN THE ZONE: Pricing Your Home Correctly
Nothing can overcome an overpriced house. You need to stay ahead of the market, not behind it. Without being priced properly you're not even in field goal range, baby!
