I Remove The Pain From The Process To Make Your Selling Experience A Good One

When selling your home, there are no guarantees that a buyer will simply walk through the front door. Effective marketing efforts by you and your agent will help ensure that your property receives maximum exposure to attract a ready, willing and able buyer. Some factors that can improve or hurt your chances are the appearance of your home, (curb appeal) a buyer's first impression, staging and now buyers want GREEN homes. Have you and your agent previewed the other active homes your neighborhood together? If not, how do you know if you are competitively priced?

Visit the Tips page for ways to make your home SHOW READY!

Ask if your agent has achieved the GREEN designation. The only designation recognized by the National Association of Realtors. Below is what the Green Resource Council says about GREEN Designees.

If You're Already Green

After investing in a green property, it's important to make sure that investment is properly represented. An NAR Green Designee understands sustainable building features, products, and practices and can educate potential buyers on the savings your green property will offer.

If You're Going Green

You have a lot of options when greening your property to put on the market. Whether your greening it a little or a lot, an NAR Green Designee can help you make the most of your investment and accurately market your property.

Residential Sellers

By implementing green features and appliances into your home, you can stand out in a competitive market. NAR Green Designees can help by:

Providing simple ways to green your home

Educating you on the cost benefit of implementing green home features

Pricing your green home effectively

Helping you take advantage of tax credits and incentives

Marketing your green home to potential buyers

Here's $10 Million Dollar Question.... "Why should I list with YOU?"

My initial reply is "Because I'm the best"... but I'm not. I make mistakes just like every other agent does. Most just don't admit it. My clients think I'm the best because I'm honest and I provide the very best service for them. I get their house sold or I find them their perfect new address. Sometimes both!

So again you ask the question; "Why should I list with YOU?" - Let me list 10 of the many reasons...

I make my listing appointments a 2 step process. The first meeting we talk all about you and the house! The second meeting we get serious and talk numbers.

If possible, during the week you choose to hire me and my company; Wilkinson & Associates; I'll take you on a preview tour of a few houses so you can see your competition first hand.

I provide all my listings with a dynamic virtual tour free of charge and a personal web site for the home no matter what the list price.

I take pictures! LOTS of Pictures!

I advertise directly to people who have provided their agent with search criteria of your home every week through Wilkinson & Associates Realty Generator system. You get personalized access to check up on who's looking at your home 24/7.

I advertise your listing on high profile web sites such as Active Rain, Facebook, Zillow, Trulia, YouTube, Yahoo Real Estate, Google, Realtor.com, Craigslist, and now, with IDX technology, your listing will appear on every major national real estate companies web site.

If additional print exposure is what your looking for, I can advertise in the Resale Home Guide and Homes & Land Magazine.

You can call me 12 hours a day between 9am and 9pm, e-mail any time of the day or night, conventional TXT messaging or use the BlackBerry messenger, or my all time favorite, we can meet in person.

I am up front and honest with you and an aggressive marketer. I'm not afraid to tell you if the market has changed and an adjustment is needed to compensate. Your goal is to sell the house, my goal is to get it sold and keep as much money in your pocket at closing as I can.

I have a fantastic team of inspectors, appraisers, lenders, handymen, and everyone in between at your disposal to help you make sure your listing looks and presents its best!

Oh yes... one more... the flyers in the box and the books in the home... they are 2 sided in color... all the time!

If you or someone you know needs to be represented fairly & professionally, reach out to me.
