Hey everyone, we’ve got a quick message for you today, and are excited to share some news with you.
The first thing we want to cover is aFacebook post we recently shared. We just wanted to reiterate the fact that we are truly thankful for all of you who have been supporting our business. Whether you’re one of our social media followers, refer business to us, or are past or current customers, we appreciate you! We don’t say thank you enough, so we wanted to make a point of it today. We also wanted to tell you about a cool new tool we have on our website.
Have you ever entertained the idea of selling your home, but only if you could get a certain price for it? We are excited to introduce the latest tool on our website, which will allow you to enter your address and the amount you’d be willing to sell for. We will keep the information on file, and call if you if there are any buyers out there looking to purchase a home like yours for your price. Click here to check it out!
This is just another one of the systems we have in place in order to help you sell your home for top dollar. If you have any questions for us, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
We just completed our 7th and 8th seller workshop series, and numbers 9 and 10 are coming up quickly. Our www.sellerworkshop.com series will be taking place on February 23 at 12:00 pm and 6:30 pm at the Blaine Sports Center.
When you go to register, make sure that the time you choose is not sold out. These workshops are filling up quickly, and that’s because they’re so useful!
We’ve already listed homes and sold them over asking price as a result of this workshop. The traditional real estate process is broken, and we’re going to teach you the new basics of the industry. We can teach you to sell your home for upwards of $60,000 in 96 hours.
This isn’t a sales pitch - this is information for you to use when you’re selling your home. Our only mission is to bring value to you. We want you to have a better real estate transaction in Minnesota.
There are certain expenses that you'll encounter when selling your Twin Cities home. One of them will be the photography used to market your home. We hire local photographers because we think high-end photos increase the final sale price. We pay up to $300 per home, but it depends on what level of photography that you choose. We recommend higher-quality photos because your first impression often comes online.
Real estate signage is also an expense, as well as a lock-box that will go on your home. These things can also vary in price depending on the amount of signage and the quality of the lock-box.
Another expense is marketing on social media. Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ have figured out how to monetize their data, and this is usually a major expense for real estate teams. It allows us to pinpoint a target audience and get them to buy your home. This usually brings buyers who are willing to fight over your home, so the price is well worth it. Creating a custom website is also a major expense, but it can pay dividends.
Advertising in newspapers or magazines is more traditional, but people still do this very often. Some people will even text message or call prospective buyers.
Overall, the cost of marketing a home is more expensive than it used to be.There are a lot of different avenues for you to go down, so to cover all of your bases you need to spend a little money on all of them.
So, what is the actual cost of selling your home? Well, there's a commission that you have to pay, and that ranges from 3-5% of the total cost of your home. That will vary depending on what your agent charges you, but don't forget that better agents (who can sell your home for more money) usually charge upwards of 5%.
If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact me!
