Woodlands Home Central’s 5 P’s of Marketing Your Home
- Product – Quality sells. Ensure your home is clean, clutter-free, in good repair, and is reasonably modern. Only 10% of home buyers can visualize the potential of a home. Remember, they are overwhelmed too. Help them fall in love with your home by showcasing a home that is in move-in condition.
- Preparation –Realize that the way you live in a home is completely different than the way you sell a home. To appeal to as many buyers as possible, ensure each room is neutral, yet warm and inviting. I will provide home staging for individuals that desire this service.
- Photos – Over 85% of home buyers today search online before visiting a property. Better photos bring in more traffic, thus more buyers. I will make sure each photo showcases your home’s strongest features and gives the best possible impression of your product.
- Promotion – I will be marketing your home on woodlandshomecentral.com as well as numerous other real estate web sites. A full custom marketing plan will be put together showcasing your homes best qualities. You can do your part by making sure your home is looking its best for every showing. Within 15 seconds, buyers will develop an attitude about your home that is reinforced by everything else they see. Make sure those first impressions are positive!
- Partnering – The majority of home sellers cannot be objective about what needs to be done, or have the time or talent to prepare a home for market. By partnering with a realtor that is a professional home stager, specially trained in cost-effective marketing and decorating techniques, your home can be transformed into a showcase home that will attract the broadest range of potential buyers possible. They’ll ensure that the first 4 Ps of Marketing above will be maximized and working for you. U.S. Housing & Urban Development reports that a staged home will sell, on average, 17% higher than an un-staged home. Partnering with a realtor that is a professional home stager will give you the edge you need to outperform the competition
