Thinking About Selling Your Home?

There is a lot to think about when it comes to selling your home or a piece of investment property. The Monterey Peninsula Home Team has the experience and knowhow to guide you towards the best decision for your specific situation. It might surprise you to know we frequently consult with clients where the end result is to not sell their property! You heard that right… We are a real estate team that isn’t concerned about just selling another piece of real estate, but is more concerned with listening to your needs and guiding you towards the best solution for you and your loved ones. 

Initial Consultation

There is a lot to think about when it comes time to potentially sell your home or investment, so we like to sit down and listen to your plans and why you have decided to sell your home or investment. We will meet with many of our clients a year or more in advance of making a move. We will make suggestions (such as utilizing Prop 19 for those who are selling and buying inside California) that will potentially save them thousands of dollars. These early planning meetings gives our clients plenty of time to use our expertise to make sure they can maximize their return on the sale of their property. 

The Monterey Peninsula Home Team agents like to see your house before we tell you a price. By getting to see the condition, upgrades and features your home has compared to other homes in the same area that have sold, we can come up with a much more accurate prediction of what your home will likely sell for. This isn't rocket science, but it amazes me how many agents out there do not take the time to do this simple but necessary step. This gives you much more predictable information to base this potentially life altering decision on.

Drone Photo & Video

Captivating Drone Marketing

drone photo of monterey peninsula homeInnovation has always been one of the biggest game changers when it comes to marketing. The newest and most eye-catching technologies continue to enhance the visual impact of marketing properties.

Video campaigns and visual storytelling are revolutionizing the industry by capturing the attention of prospective buyers and showcasing your home in the best way possible.

Additionally, one way to create captivating marketing content that guarantees to set your property apart from the competition is through the use of drone videography and photography.

Print Media & Marketing

The Monterey Peninsula Home Team strategically advertise in several publications, normally taking advantage of publications that also have a strong online presence as well as that is where the majority of buyers look for homes these days. Our property advertising appears in local, regional, national, and international publications, all of which target specific audiences addressing the unique needs of each property or estate listing.

The Monterey area has many special events annually and over the years we have learned when to increase our print advertising to be more effective for our clients. We rarely get a bunch of phone calls during these events as most people are here to enjoy themselves and the event they came to town for. However, many sales come after the fact from attendees who pick up a piece of print advertising and then migrate to the internet. Our web traffic increases dramatically in the weeks following a big event week such as Monterey Car Week or the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am Golf Tourney each year.

 

We work with our in-house designer to create custom luxury media packages for each of our listings. We partner with competitive graphic companies who provide the industry standard in high-end printing with a wide range of stocks, sizes, and textures to give your marketing elements a luxurious edge.

Part of marketing your home is creating an individual property website.

We make the online address intuitive and easy to remember - the unique domain name is simply the property address.

For example www.123address.com, typed into a web browser, it instantly pulls up the details page of the listing, making it easier for buyers to find and explore. This website also serves at the “virtual tour” in the MLS listing of your property.

The Right Price

The Right Price For Attracting Buyers

Pricing your property competitively will generate the most activity from agents and buyers and ultimately yield the best price!. Pricing your property too high may make it necessary to drop the price below market value to compare with new, well-priced listings. With the inventory levels so low, this has never been more obvious. The homes that are over priced tend to be the only homes left on the market for more than 30 days. Obviously there are exceptions, but pricing your home correctly in the first place is the golden rule of getting the most money out of your property.

Pricing Misconceptions

Pricing Misconceptions

The value of your property is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept in today’s market. 

Real estate pricing misconceptions

Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing your property to other properties sold in your area. Historically, your first offer is usually your best. It is very important to price your property at a competitive market value when we finalize the listing agreement.

 

9.1

Pricing Misconceptions: Seller's Market

Seller's Market

  • A property generates the most interest when it first hits the market.
  • The number of showings is greatest during this time and the number of buyer tours can be maximized if the property is priced correctly.
  • Starting too high and dropping the price later fails to generate strong activity.
  • Many homes that start high end up selling below market value.

9.2

Pricing Misconceptions: Buyer's Market

Buyer's Market

If Sellers are not fully aware of the current market, they can get caught in a market with falling home values and end up chasing the market down, because home values often fall faster than their price reductions. You do not want to fall into the trap of chasing the market as the graphic shows below.

buyers market graphic
9.3

Pricing Misconceptions: Be Competitive

If You Want to Compete, Be Competitive

  • The buying market has a short attention span.
  • Pricing your home right from the beginning is key.
  • Proper pricing attracts buyers.
  • An overpriced house will not sell.
  • We want to generate offers before the market moves on to newer listings.
