Assessing a Property

With whatever real estate company you use, your agent should be committed to helping you get your home sold at the best possible price in the least amount of time. They should be known throughout the real estate industry for their experience and expertise which would translate into a smooth move with a seasoned professional. They should be able to provide several key things:

Market Analysis

Your agent should do the homework before suggesting a possible list price for your home. They will perform a comprehensive market analysis based on homes sold in your area and homes currently on the market. Information about homes that failed to sell also will be provided indicating prices that buyers were not willing to pay. Learn more about a  market analysis here.

Property Condition Assessment

The condition of your property will have a lot to do with the selling price and how quickly your home will sell. If there are minor repairs that you could perform easily, or perhaps some cosmetic upgrades that will make your home more appealing, your agent should discuss those enhancements with you, and which makes the most sense from a financial and practical standpoint.

The goal is to make your house more appealing than the competing houses on the market and this is where the experience of an Equity Group agent begins to pay off.
