Sell Your Northwest Arkansas Real Estate

If you’re a seller, you need knowledgeable honest advice on pricing, market timing and an experienced professional deeply involved in the particular market that you are in. The liabilities today in selling any property are huge, much greater than even five years ago. An experienced real estate professional can help insulate you as a seller from the potential pitfalls and help lower the risks.

The real estate market is ever changing; we believe that each particular property presents its own marketing criteria and challenges. The more distinctive a property is, the more independent the marketing challenge becomes. At Ward Jones Realtors, Inc. we do an upfront outline on each property we list, we have a marketing plan for each individual property. We believe, and have the record to show, that this is the best approach rather than the standard “list and wait” of other companies. In the market such as Siloam Springs, Northeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas over 70% of the time, a parcel is sold as a direct result of farming by the agent. What this means is success is from diligent hard work by the Real Estate Professional. In other words, if you pursue the sale on your own or list with a non-progressive company, you are missing 70-85% of potential purchasers.

The Right Price Means a Successful Sale
Pricing your home is both an art and a science. Achieving optimal price is the result both of objective research into comparable properties and market instincts.

The Right Price Should:

• Attract buyers
• Allow you to earn the most money possible
• Help you sell as quickly as possible

The simple fact is, price is the number one factor that most homebuyers use to determine which homes they want to view. And it’s important to remember that, although you set the price, the buyer determines the value of the home. Try to avoid allowing your enthusiasm to impact you’re better judgment overpricing is a common mistake that can cost you in the end.

Before The Showing Begins
First impressions are lasting impressions. The exterior of your home often determines how buyers will view the interior, so:

• Make sure the front entrance is clean and inviting.
• Paint or replace your front door if it’s faded or worn.
• Add some paint or shutters, trim and other outside feature showing signs of wear.

Buyers often see the surface condition of your home as a sign of what’s underneath, so:

• Keep windows and floors clean.
• Repaint walls in a light neutral color.
• Clean carpets.
• Put your home in the best light

Strategically lighting your home, even during daytime showings, can create a cozy mood and highlight positive attributes of each room. After the showing begins leave the selling to the professional. Buyers often feel uncomfortable in the presence of a homeowner.

A professional real estate agent is trained to guide the homeowner through the entire process of selling a home by providing accurate and up-to-date information on pricing the property, objectively evaluating what if any changes in the home that might be needed, bringing qualified buyers and assisting the seller all the way through closing.
