The Timing of Your Listing

> The “Just Listed” Approach

I’m ready! Let’s get this home listed! 

Not so fast Jimmi Hendrix. 

We’ve got a process to follow to ensure you get the most from the first impression period.

A few years ago, I ran into a real estate acquaintance while I was out shopping the day before Thanksgiving. This friend said they were swamped with new listings and would likely be working late into the evening to get several of their company’s listings on the market that night.

My reaction: What!? Why in the world would you ever list a home before a major holiday? Buyers and agents alike are focused on the holiday, and not your new listing! 

It got me thinking. How many great homes sell on the first day? Not many. But on Thanksgiving? Probably none. 

Can this “Just Get it Listed” approach be a benefit to a seller? 

The short answer is no.

> Homes Sold for MORE™ Process

Our devoted agents understand the importance of the first impression period and would never recommend listing your home before a major holiday even if you are ready to go. We don’t rush to list your home. 

We strategically list your home only when it’s ready and has the best chance to make an impression.

What most sellers don’t understand is that the first buyers to tour your home are generally the most educated. These buyers have seen every home on the market, have possibly lost out on a few and are waiting for a new home to hit the market…Your home. Unfortunately, they have lives to live beyond home shopping. By listing a home when the majority of these buyers have their attention on family, friends and traditions, you can miss out on some of the best, most qualified buyers.

Always follow the timing advice of your dedicated agent. You never get a second chance at a first impression.

Let us help determine the timing of your listing on the MLS and get your home Sold for MORE™!
