I was contacted a couple of weeks ago from a seller who said she new who I was but I didn’t know her. She had taken a new job out of state and moved a months back leaving her home to be sold. Her parents and in-laws had done all the right things to put the package together it just wasn’t being marketed. It turns out her house is next door to a house I sold in Linwood Place a couple of months back. She went with the referral of a friend of a friend who listed the home at a discount rate commission. After being on the market a couple of months, the agent agreed to get some professional pictures taken of the house.
After having numerous showings, a price reduction and no offers, these Seller’s were looking for some direction on what it would take to get their home sold. She politely asked the agent to hold the house open since it was staged and they hadn’t had any offers. The agent politely in not so many words said he wasn’t getting paid enough to do so and that is when she looked up my number and gave me a call.
Long story short, she asked for a release and asked it was willing to take on her listing. Absolutely! I knew this house should have already been sold! Working with her mom, who bent over backwards to complete each item in the list I recommended adding some fresh flowers, rearranging the staged furniture, and planting a few more flowers in the back we were primed and ready for one of my professional photographers, Justin Voight, to work his magic on this charming house.
Within 48 hours I had an offer from one of the first buyers who toured it. It was a really good feeling getting to take down my open house sign and put a SOLD sign in the yard. I enjoyed the rest of the afternoon negotiating another contract for another listing. For all of you who ask about the Oklahoma City Real Estate market, it is going well when you are priced right, staged to perfection and can present your house and such a polished way!
I tell every seller I talk to, the PHOTOS POSTED ONLINE and the marketing promoted throughout all the outlets I use IS THE FIRST SHOWING FOR ANY POTENTIAL BUYER! If your photos don’t bring them in, nothing will.
