As smart technology grows and expands at lightning speed, the cost of such is making it more available and more common than ever. Gone are the days when "private" showings were actually PRIVATE! 

Just yesterday it seems, a prospective home purchaser and their real estate agent would plan a few hours or a day of home shopping - visiting the various houses on the market for sale - and the buyer and their agent could casually discuss the pluses and minuses of the home they were in, financing options that were available to the buyer, strategize about making an offer etc. - ALL WHILE PRESENT IN THE HOME!

Welcome to the New Millennium! Cameras and microphones are EVERYWHERE and it would be wise to be cautious about appearing and talking excited, desperate, or even insulting, while physically inside a sellers home which you are considering and may decide to make an offer.

More often than not, home owners (sellers) have installed in their homes, security devices to protect against unwanted intrusions and burglars, or simply a "nanny cam" to keep an eye on the baby! It is becoming less expensive to afford multiple recording devices, and even to have events streamed live onto a smartphone. This is a GREAT Benefit to have in aiding police to capture a criminal who is terrorizing a neighborhood, but could also be a Great DETRIMENT to your wallet and your negotiating position should you unconsciously "spill the beans" about how badly you want this home!

It is a good idea for both you and your agent to have a plan about how to behave, and what topics of discussion should be off the table while inside your prospective new home. Consider taking notes for discussion AFTER going outside, or back at the real estate office.

As the saying goes:
Loose Lips Sink Ships. Be careful not to sink your own ship before it even sets sail!

When selling a home, a “for sale” sign in the yard is an important tool, and should be a powerful part of your real estate agent’s marketing plan. While prospective home buyers tend to begin their home search online, they often drive through a neighborhood that they’ve been admiring. Having an attractive, well placed for sale sign in the yard, could prevent your home from being skipped over and missed among the thousands of homes available on the internet. Some potential home buyers may have been admiring a neighborhood over a period of time, and have made a hobby of just driving through to see if any new signs have gone up!

In a 2017 survey report from The National Association of REALTORS®, it was discovered that over 8% of people who recently bought a home, found the home that they bought because of a for sale sign. Another 4% was word of mouth from a friend, neighbor or relative. Often, the best word of mouth advertisers are other people who live in your neighborhood, who also have friends and family that they would like to be living closer to them. One of the best ways to “spread the word” that your home is available and on the market for sale, is to have a nosy neighbor see the “for sale” sign placed in your yard.

At Capital Realty Group River Region,
our sign is eye catching with bright bold colors and is easy for people to see!
​
The key goal is to attract as many potential buyers, as quickly as possible, who may have an interest in purchasing the house or property that you have for sale. A good marketing plan makes use of several different avenues to reach the most people; including online, print and word of mouth advertising. A for sale sign. on the property that you are selling, is a valuable and powerful marketing tool. The first thing a buyer may see that catches their attention, could be that for sale sign in your yard. (it also helps to have good curb appeal and a well-kept lawn) Having a sharp looking, professional sign can be an effective way to attract people to your home, and once the buyer is inside, that sign could lead to a successful sale!

2017 has been a really great year Capital Realty Group River Region, LLC, and we still have one business day left to go!!! So far this year, our Realtors have Sold and Closed over 210 residential properties for a total price volume of over $27 Million (numbers are approximate as they do not include non-MLS properties sold and closed)

The average sold price is $168K for our listings, which have ranged from $12K to $720K. This represents an INCREASE over last year, and our sales price / list price ratio is above our Board of Realtors average - This means our Realtors are helping their Seller clients, whom they represent, negotiate a higher price for their homes! The MLS is reporting the SP vs LP ratio throughout the river region is 94.99 and Capital Realty Group River Region has a 97.98 ratio.
​(the higher the ratio is, all the better when representing a selling home owner)

The year may have started off slow, but it has been non-stop since February and is going out with a BANG to welcome in what we are anticipating to be an EVEN GREATER 2018!!! Our office has just recently welcomed two new Realtors and we expect to be growing and expanding even more! So kick off your shoes, make yourself at home, RELAX, and enjoy your time in The Roost!
