Here's the equation for an exceptional home sale launch:

Pre-Listing Prep + (Bad Ass Marketing X Exceptional Negotiation)
= Expectations Exceeded

Yes the market is hot for sellers. But that is no excuse for a listing agent to get lazy with details. Without giving away too much of my magic- here is my proven strategy for a successful home sale launch.

1- Pre-Listing Prep: MOST IMPORTANT STEP
Thorough analysis of the CURRENT market
In depth consultation with the sellers to establish expectations and goals.
STAGING- yes even in this market. If your agent isn't making the effort to fine tune the look of your home- get a new agent that will.
Establishing the best asking price
2- Bad Ass Marketing: NO CELL PHONE PHOTO SHOOT!
HD Professional Photo Shoot ONLY! You want buyers aching to tour your home! With Twilight Photos (they are just so pretty)
Virtual Tour! Attract those Out of Area Buyers to your home!
Wide Span Social Promotion!
OPEN HOUSES! I LOVE promoting my listings with open houses- such a great way to talk through ideas with potential buyers. PS: YES YES YES open houses sell homes- don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
3- Expert Negotiation:
Buyer are getting creative with offers - your agent needs to be able to pick out the offer that doesn't have supporting documentation for what they are offering- appraisal gap - inspection cap- does the financing cont match the preapproval??
Excellent communication with buyer agents is key!
It's not just the highest price- anyone can offer a high price - but does the documentation support that offer- SO VERY Important right now. Your agent needs to be able to expose and prove the fine details to eliminate or minimize the risk to the seller.
This is how I sold Brentwood Rd in New Berlin this weekend. I certainly cannot take all the credit- my sellers did an amazing job prepping their home for sale!
Brentwood Sellers accepted an offer 48 hours on market. Yes there were multiple offers- the one they accepted hit all of their goals and exceeded their expectations.
Right now I'm feeling a bit like a member of the A-Team: I love it when a plan comes together!

Creative Offer? YEP!
Impressive Earnest Money? YEP!

We saw many houses across a 4 county area. We saw a lot of junk homes that were so overpriced and in terrible condition. Buyers: WAIT for the right house. Expand your search area- be open minded. Your perfect home is out there without having to donate a kidney to the sellers. I promise.

Let me start by saying: I may not be or everyone. I just want to point out a few things that you should look for when hiring an agent to sell your home.

1. Trust your gut- if it feels right-go for it. Or....

Do they make you feel pressured? Are they pulling out contracts to sign before they've even learned anything about you? Do they start the conversation with "I'm the best xyz"? You'll know if it feels like the right fit!

2. Look for someone with the time and willingness to consult you through this process.

Before you ever even schedule a zoom call with the agent, are they educating you on this platform? Are they explaining what they cover in that zoom call? What does working with them look like? How are they going to set you up for success?

3. Social Media Savvy: Let me preface this by saying by no means am I suggesting that you need a real estate agent who has gone viral on TikTok. Not at all! But I believe social media is a critical tool for agents to be using. Not only does it allow them to network with agents all over the country (including having exposure to the city your home is located in), it also means they are on top of marketing trends that can maximize your home's exposure!

4. Are they a local agent? Do they have knowledge of the area (& market) your home is located in? Understanding the market for strategic pricing as well as being aware of local hot spots, amenities and attractions is essential to your home sale success!

You're in luck! I'm spilling my Number One Secret for Maximizing your Home Equity:

Having a well maintained home 🧽

Here's a list of what to do in March - then follow along every month to make sure your home is lucky all year long!

🧺 Wash linens (think all of those blankets lying around, stuffed in the closet, draped over the couch)

🧽 Wash windows and put on screens (If you’re thinking of selling this Spring, remove the screens for increased natural light and better listing photos)

🛋 Spot clean your furniture

🚪 Swap out your front door mat for Spring

🛌 Vacuum your mattresses (Amazon has a bed vacuum with UV Sanitizing for removing dust mites, pollen, and bacteria - the brand is Ergo Life)

🧹 Spring Clean the kitchen: Clean kitchen backsplash, wipe down cabinets and clean under appliances (I think the last time I did this was the day we moved into our house - you too?)

🍿 Organize the pantry & throw out expired products

🖼 Clean mirrors and lamps (and lightbulbs)

💰 Get ready for Tax Season (everyone's favorite 😅)

🌳 Spring clean your yard & plan to plant (Flowers and Gardens and Trees - OH MY)!

➡️ Reminder: I combined all 12 months of homeowner checklists into a double sided guide that you can print out and hang on your fridge - DM me your email address if you'd like a copy!

How to stage the coziest nook 🕯 Do you have a space or corner you just don't know what to do with? This room was our formal dining room. We turned it into a library room. Check out Pinterest Ikea Billy Bookcase Built Ins: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1618549856142365/ Why not turn it into a cozy sitting room? It's super simple, will add a splash of style and can double as a comfy spot to read a book, have coffee or scroll Instagram! Here are a few essentials: -Find an accent table you love (this is where the coffee goes)- I got this metal one at Wayfair. -Shop for a comfy chair (I think a leather chair would be amazing for a space like this) I got mine off of Facebook Marketplace -Add your favorite scented candle for the season -Add a table or floor lamp for reading (depends on the space) -Get a pillow or two for cushion (and naps) -Drape your chunky knit throw over the chair -Add a stack of books on your to be read list -If you have room, an ottoman is essential for ultimate comfort -Pick some fresh flowers and stick in a little vase or mason jar -Now go fill up your coffee mug and relax!

There is always something special about client referral. Then- add on that it's their nephew- then add on I have known their family since 1983!
Josh is a recent college graduate that is so excited to start building wealth through real estate! He was a model first time buyer. It was a true honor to assist him in his first purchase and I cannot wait to see what he does with the place!
Congratulations! You earned every second of this!

Does saving for your first home feel next to impossible?

All you can see are dollar signs which leaves you feeling overwhelmed.

The good news is you might not need to save as much money as you thought.

One of the BIGGEST myths I find first time home buyers believing is the amount of money they have to put down.

Spoiler Alert: You don't *HAVE TO* put 20% down to buy your first home. Do I hear a sigh of relief on the other side of the screen?

You can get your finances figured out by reaching out to a local lender

If you're not saving for homeownership, you can still join in on the challenge and just change "homeownership" to whatever you are saving for! Or maybe you just want to be more mindful with your money in 2021!

So for Day 1, we're going to start by picking our savings goal!

1. SAVE FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP 🏡
2. SAVE FOR A HOMEOWNER EMERGENCY FUND 💰
3. SAVE FOR A DOWN PAYMENT 💵
4. SAVE FOR RENOVATIONS 🛠
5. OTHER 🌟

Here's what to expect the next few days: Each day I'll be sharing a tip or "to do" to get your savings on track and eliminate unnecessary expenses! Ready? Comment GO if you're joining in and feel free to comment with the emoji that matches your goal to hold yourself accountable!
