Seller Makes $15,000 More By Using Parkland Parrot Real Estate Team Over By Owner

Thinking about selling your Parkland or South Florida home without a real estate professional?  Are images of yesterday’s real estate market flashing before you?  Well, times have change, and it certainly takes more than just throwing a for sale sign in your front yard in order to sell your home for top market dollar!

The Parkland Parrot Real Estate Team met Mr. & Mrs. Kazner while they were attempting to sell their home on their own.  The Kazners really needed guidance throughout the selling process.  Before listing their home with our team, they had an offer on their home from “supposed” buyers.  Unfortunately, the buyers were not fully qualified, and they were trying to “steal” the home.

Many people do not realize when you sell your home without the services of a real estate professional, you can open your door to non-qualified buyers that may be looking for a steal of a deal!  Investors will also come knocking trying to take advantage of you, because they know you have no representation.  These investors also know that you are not paying a real estate commission and will adjust their offer by 6% or more.

After listing their home, our team was able to have it under contract and sold in less than 60 days for the highest price in the neighborhood.  In fact, the Kazners made an additional $15,000 by using our services than they would selling by owner.

The moral of this true story is that times have changed, and it is essential to list your home with a Realtor that specializes in your neighborhood.    Please read our article: 23 Questions Sellers Must Ask When Interviewing A Realtor to help during your interview process.  Remember, your home is one of your largest financial assets, so seek an expert Realtor for guidance.  Call us today for your complimentary home analysis and customized marketing plan.  Let our full service, aggressive marketing plan for you you!

I Cannot Sell My Home Because Of Personal Attachment

Sellers’ Personal Attachment When Negotiating With Buyers

When a home seller decides to list his/her home on the market, they practically open their doors to any and all potential buyers.  Homes become our private sanctuaries, and most people like their privacy!  Also, many family memories are shared in homes during the years of ownership.  We become personally attached to our homes as they are apart of our lives.

But, when listing your home on the market, sellers must separate their personal relationship to their homes and start thinking that selling their homes is a business decision, NOT a personal one!

One of our sellers cannot seem to separate his personal attachment to his property when negotiating multiple buyer offers on his property.  We understand the many memories and personal feelings that his family has regarding why they truly believe that their home is special.

Unfortunately, current buyers do not put the same dollar amount on personal attachment, as they are merely looking at the numbers and the features and benefits of the home.  With so many online tools available to potential buyers, sellers truly need to cut the umbilical cord!

Sellers also say that they need a certain amount of money to net from the sale of the home for moving and living expenses.  Again, buyers are not going to pay more than fair market value!  Do buyers care how much money the sellers need?  No!  Buyers have to worry about their own financial expenses.  Isn’t it still a buyer’s market?

Inventory In Parkland … Now Is The Time To Call Us

Calling Parkland Residents!  If you have been thinking about selling your home, NOW may be the best time to sell!  With the real estate market starting to correct itself, inventory has plummeted in the last 6 months to record lows.  I hear through the real estate grapevine that Parkland buyers’ agents cannot find properties for their clients and are seriously getting frustrated making offers on homes that are already under contract or have multiple offers and over asking price offers!  My opinion is that this is GREAT news meaning that demand is starting to outweigh supply in Parkland and other neighboring areas in Broward County.
