UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS
It is important as Real Estate Company to know how the majority Buyers and Sellers approach the task of buying or selling real estate. Sea-Port Realty understands this better than anyone. Sellers put more emphasis on selecting the right Real Estate Company and Realtor to work with. They may interview multiple agents and to see who best fits there needs as well as concerned with the costs associated to sell there home. Buyers on the other hand are not looking for a realtor initially, Buyers want to shop for a home on there own, initially using the internet to begin this task. The internet has dramatically changed how buyers search for and find a home. Buyers now can use the internet to do more of there own work finding a home to purchase. They go on-line to any infinite number of real estate websites such as www.saveonrealestatefees.com to search for homes. These websites empower the Buyer to select and input parameters such as price, size and location in which to search for homes. The need for a buyer’s agent at this initial step is minimal but it is critical step for sellers.
Sea-Port Realty is a company who knows how to effectively use the internet. We continually work to promote our web site presence knowing that a high ranking on sites such as Google is critical to the successful marketing of your home, to position your home so buyers who are searching on there own without the help of a real estate professional can find it as easy as possible. Sea-Port Realty understands how to use the internet and how important of a tool it has become in the buying and selling of real estate. To position your home, provide correct and accurate information in the marketing of your home as well as top quality photos of your home so buyers can find it and become immediately interested in it is vitally important to our success.
IT'S ALL ABOUT PRICE
Pricing your home especially in a buyers market is critical. Sellers usually have some idea of what they would like to get for a price on there home. It is also very important to listen to your realtor’s advice on pricing. Sea-Port Realty will always provide you with current comparable sales data in writing within the last 6 months to inform you of what your home is currently worth. Sea-Port Realty and its real estate professionals will always listen to what you, the seller has to say and will respect your opinion. However Sea-Port Realty comes from philosophy that pricing your home correctly is critical if you really want to sell it. We believe at Sea-Port Realty it is better to price your home right from the onset and reject low offers than to price it high and not get any offers. Or another way of looking at it, it is easier to negotiate a low offer up to a price you are willing to accept than to not negotiate at all.
HONESTY, INTEGRITY & STRAIGHT TALK
Buyers & Sellers also need Real Estate Company who is going to provide them with honest and straight talk in regards to current real estate market conditions and values. Currently there is an over abundance of real estate agents and homes for sale in Washington State, competition is fierce to get your listing or your business as a buyer. To this end giving you honest and realistic information for buyers and sellers to make decisions is critical and that’s what you’ll get from Sea-Port Realty. However many agents and companies are willing to tell you what you want to hear and other false promises to initially secure your business knowing full well the price they quoted you to buy or sell is a hope and a prayer. We cannot tell you how many times we’ve lost out on a client because of these tactics and we will continue to do so in the future because we are unwilling to compete for your business this manner. So if you want an honest, hard working and knowledgable real estate company with integrity to represent you in your real estate needs Sea-Port Realty is that company. Call, or Email, us today let us show you what we can do for you.
