The SECRET To Selling Your Rocklin Home For The Most Money
Don’t Leave Money On The Table!
I got an email from a gentleman who was looking for the value of his Rocklin home. I prepared a comparable market analysis and responded to him within 30 minutes early Sunday morning. His need sounded urgent and knowing that it’s the best policy to respond quickly, I did.
He emailed me back and said that he’d call after he and his family got back from church.
About 2 hours later, I got a call from him. His first question out of the gate to me, which I found somewhat surprising and certainly short sighted, was if I would cut my commission to sell his home. He told me that he wanted to make the most he possibly could from the sale and wanted to know if I’d do that.
My first question to him was “what does the commission have to do with how much money you make from selling your Rocklin home?” He told me that he felt the market would take care of selling his home for the highest price and that I didn’t really have to do much to get it sold.
This is a very common misconception by some sellers when the market heats up. They think the market will take care of everything and Realtors don’t have to do much to get a home sold.
This couldn’t be more wrong!
I told him a story of two sellers I have recently worked with. One chose to leave roughly $41,000 on the table and the other made $51,000 over appraised value. The difference between them? Just one decision. That caused one seller to lose $41,000 and another to make $51,000 over appraised value.
Which scenario would you rather be in?
In all likelihood, the gentleman who called me will not be making the most from the sale of his home. His mindset won’t permit it. He will get a break on the commission by hiring a discount broker then leave thousands on the table. I’ve seen it over and over again.
If a Realtor can’t stand up for his/her own price, how could you possibly expect that he/she would stand up for your price?
The client who left $41,000 on the table didn’t want to take my advice and it cost them. The client who said “that’s a great idea, let’s use that approach!” made $51,000 more than the home was worth while the house around the corner sold for $51,000 less.
Selling your Rocklin home is easy, anyone can do it but not just anyone can sell it for the highest price possible.
When you use a discount broker, you get discount results. You get what you pay for! You may as well hire Bozo the Clown to sell your home!
Yes the market has a lot to do with how much a home sells for but there is a strategy to getting the highest and best price for the sale of any home in any market. Those who employ experienced, hard working Realtors who know the marketplace and aren’t afraid of their own shadows make the most from the sale of their homes.
Do you really want to hire someone so desperate for business that they are willing to sell themselves short to get it? Is that the mindset of someone you want to trust with the sale of your most important investment? I wouldn’t!
Would you like to know the secret to selling your Rocklin home for most amount of money possible?? Of course you would! Give me a call, let’s get together and I’ll show you the plan for doing just that regardless of the commission we agree upon. That’s how confident I am that I can sell you home for more than the majority of agents working in today’s market.
