Listing your Charlotte Area Home for Sale

The national real estate market is very difficult right now and the Charlotte Real Estate market, although not impacted like many cities, is finding fewer home buyers actively seeking a new home. Marketing has never been more important!

As home equity disappears, many people are looking at ways to save some of their money. Please be careful. There are many companies offering "limited service" listings. Many of these firms offer to place your home on the MLS for a flat fee. The seller pays several hundred dollars up front for this marketing. You get exactly what you pay for. It is sad to see many of the photos, the descriptions and actual marketing that the Charlotte Home Sellers have actually purchased.

Hmmm, after you pay for a job, how much customer service do you think you are to receive for free? That is typically what you get.

As a Charlotte Realtor, I take the time to discuss your personal needs. The photos are the most important. I am very aware of this fact and take the time and care to assure we present your home in the best light. You only get one chance to make a first impression!

How about the price? Do you want to list your home or would you like to sell your home? You must price your home according to current market values. Your home is an investment. Would you buy IBM stock at today's market price or would you pay the market high a few years ago? I did not check on IBM stock history but you the point is the same? We will price your home fairly and sell your home for the best price possible.
