Sellers Information
Why Sellers Seek Out COUNTS Real Estate Group, inc
To Evaluate, Market, Sell, and CLOSE real estate Get the straight facts about what can make or break the sale of your property Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it really worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers?  As a Realtor, it’s my job to guide you through this complicated process from beginning to end. Counts real estate group wants you to get the maximum value from your property, within YOUR time frame. Here are some of the reasons for selecting COUNTS REAL ESTATE to market and sell your home:
Our agents have been in real estate a long time! At Counts, we have 345 years of real estate experience in 33 agents. That’s an average of 13 years per agent. Our agents have every designation from (CRS) certified residential specialist to (CCIM) certified commercial investment member. Thirty per cent of our agents carry broker licenses. Counts real estate group seeks out only the best agents to be team members and we function as a team to sell your property. How does the time agents have in the business affect the sale of your property? Every year agents are in the business, they develop a catalogue of buyers and sellers that trust their recommendations. When you list with a company with experienced agents, someone in that company probably has a buyer in mind for your property the day it is listed. Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties in the county on the market, together we can determine what your home is really worth in the current market. This is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. Every agent in our company will personally tour your listed property and will provide feedback as to the price, property condition, and potential for sell through a grading system. We qualify buyers before they waste your time, create emotional attachment with no real intent, and inconvenience your life with useless showings. More buyers interested in your home means more money in your pocket when it’s sold. Our extensive marketing of your home assures you the maximum value. STANDARD LISTING TOOLS

2. Sell the space, not your stuff. Remember that the goal of a successful showing is to make a prospect feel at home-like it’s theirs, not yours. Put away you extensive personal collections. Less is more: open up your space so prospects can actually see what they’re buying. 3. Paint and elbow grease work wonders. Fresh paint and a thorough cleaning will give you the greatest “bang for your buck.” Remember that neutral walls are your best bet when staging a home for sale. An investment of $100 in paint and some interior touch up could yield you thousands on your sell price because most customers cannot “visualize” what it could look like. 4. Go with the flow. Arrange furniture for easy traffic flow. Consider placing a major piece of furniture at an angle, such as a couch or desk. Angles add interest and can create a more open feeling. 5. See the light. Move lamps to dark corners and arrange window treatments so that natural light floods your rooms. Brighter is better, and your rooms will look larger. 6. Go green. Live plants can add decorative flair, without spending a bundle. Plants and cut flowers have a way of warming up a room. 7. Don’t forget the outdoors, especially this time of year. If you have a porch, deck or patio, clean the furniture and replace the worn cushions. Breath new life into your deck with a fresh finish. Plant winter rye in the fall to insure a rich, green yard through the winter. Keep the yard mowed and edged while listing is active. Trim shrubs and hedges back away from the home. Trim lower limbs on trees to open the view of the home from the road. 8. Make the kitchen sparkle. De-clutter the countertops by removing toasters, food processors and other non-decorative items. If you have a breakfast table or counter, put out a couple of table settings complete with place mats, napkins and dinnerware. The smell of baked goods prior to a showing really helps set the homey mood with another one of our senses……….mmmmmmmmmmmm good! 9. Warm up an empty room. If your home is vacant, consider renting furniture for key rooms, but don’t go overboard. There are companies locally that provide staging of interiors for homes or condos for sale and really make them look outstanding! Home For Sale By Owner
Before you consider selling your home yourself, ask yourself if you are going to have the time needed to sell your home- even if you just cover the basics.
