What makes a home sell?

It all starts with you.  Real estate salespersons don't sell homes, homes sell themselves.

  Homes have to be priced right and staged to be appealing for a home buyers needs. A Realtor is the conductor of the transaction. There is much involved with a purchase and sell of a home. It's people to people and behind every transaction is another piece of real estate involved. It's often a long chain tied together to another transaction.

When Property is bought and sold there are a plethora of tasks and obligations that exist.  Without using a real estate professional you leave a lot at stake to cause the deal to fall through.  What about: title to the property, home inspections, closing date negotiation, closing costs, escrow and earnest money deposits, timeline obligations of the parties, setbacks, easements, home owner association protective covenants, homeowners insurance, flood zones, mold, roof repairs, home warranty, clauses, contingencies, addendums, consulting with a real estate attorney, access to property, lease option, financing, possession, investment analysis, pro forma analysis, renting & leasing the property, property tax, buyer and seller representation, mortgage application, property survey, sellers disclosure, MLS data, buyers disclosure, marketing real estate, land disclosure, HUD statements, foreclosure, short sale, closing statements, condominium documents, property liens, walk thru, loan commitment, loan approval, paying points, encroachments, hazard insurance, comparative market analysis and more are to be considered when dealing with a real estate transaction. 

Entering a property for sale in your local MLS isn't enough these days.  80% of the buyers looking for homes are using the internet.  Can they find your home the world wide web with all the others.  The days of people getting in their cars and driving around communities and neighborhoods are all about gone.  Information is key.  You need a Realtor that is tech savvy and that can bring  your property to buyers on the web. 

Going it alone is never smart. It is one of the biggest investment decisions we will make. You need a full time Realtor that is experienced and educated to represent you on either side of the transaction.
You need Bill Travers as your real estate agent.

Even in a "down market" homes will sell. It's part of life to move.  Job promotion, new child bringing the need for an extra room, elder parents move in for our care, children go off onto college bringing the need to downsize, relocation, job transfer, etc.  There are many reasons.   My two recent sales go to show that a home priced right and impeccable in it's appearance are capable of selling.


Sold in November 2007.
This home I listed and sold was 2400 a/c sq. ft. with a pool located in The Enclave, east of I-75 near Tatum Ridge Elementary school. The seller I represented kept the home in immaculate condition.  The interior colors were warm and rich and you could even eat off of the garage floors.  I told the sellers that we would not likely need to show the home to more than 10 qualified buyers before we would sell it and I was right.  Quality over quantity. Another example of listing a home in its most presentable form.  The buyer was attracted to my creative sign which inspired them to look inside.

Sold in November 2007.
This home I listed in Ellenton Florida again sold because of price and it's clean appearance.  Few showings was all that was needed. We were successful in obtaining 98.5% of the listed price.  Perseverance in negotiations also made us successful.

I am a firm believer that all my listings in my marketing efforts, are marketed toward the web.  In addition to effective marketing tools I use, I purchase a domain name based on my sellers address to advertise their home on the web.  I also upload pictures and video of their real estate to YouTube, Google video and include other pertinent real estate documents, thus making the buyers experience using the internet to find their next new Sarasota home easy to find.
