Six Key Reasons You’ll Want to Work With a Real Estate Agent When Pricing Your Home

Six Key Reasons You'll Want to Work With a Real Estate Agent When Pricing Your HomeWhether you know a little bit about the real estate market or you’ve sold a home before, you may be considering pricing and selling your home without the representation of a real estate agent.  Whether it be a financial, medical, or a legal situation, etc, consider the benefits having a professional representing you.

Take a look at the following benefits of a real estate agent:

We Know The Neighborhood

It’s great if you have familiarity with market prices, but knowing a neighborhood is key when it comes to determining price. We will be able to help you arrive at a price that is good for your home and practical for the area you’re selling in.

Is The Market Hot?

The price may be right, but if the market has cooled off, you may have to make a compromise in order to sell it. Instead of trying to arrive at this on your own, we will be able to provide insights into the best strategy.

We’ve Sold In The Area

We have sold properties in your area recently and may be well aware of the price potential. With this added expertise, we will walk the line between your ideal price and what you can get.

Preparing A Plan B

We’ll agree to go with a higher selling pricing if you’re committed to it, but we will also help you make another plan if the price doesn’t work out. It’s disappointing to not get what you’re asking for, but it’s better to have a plan just in case.

Saving On Stress

It’s one thing to decide on the price of your home, but it’s quite another to deal with all the stress if it lingers on the market without an offer. When we assist you in determining your price, we’ll also be there to shoulder some of the stress.

When It Comes To Negotiating

The negotiation following a home offer is make-or-break for selling your home, another great benefit to allowing us to work for you. While we won’t make the decision for you, we will serve as a helpful guide in determining an appropriate counter offer.

Your home may not only be the largest financial investment that you make in a lifetime, it is often emotionally valuable with great sentimentality.  It’s our job to represent all of your best interests, including getting you the highest price possible.  When you’re ready for a no-cost, no obligation consultation, give me a call – J.P. Cook – 602-320-4253.

Two birds with one stone is possible...as this is two homes on over an acre. What an incredibly rare opportunity in Scottsdale. With two homes on an acre this provides maybe a few generations together OR multiple income streams at one address. The main house is over 2300 sq ft and the manufactured house is over 1500 sq ft and just underwent a dramatic remodel. The remodel included new flooring, completely new kitchen and baths as well as paint and more. These places book end a huge backyard and sparkling diving pool. Both places have ample parking with a 2 car garage, 2 car carport and a circle drive. No HOA restrictions here but you do live right across from Starfire Golf Course (So you have that going for you, which is nice!) And you have an abundance of options with the entire acre.
