Buyers
It’s officially listing season! That means new properties are hitting the market daily. It can be easy to overlook a new listing when there are so many flooding the market at once -that’s where your agent comes in! Not only can they personally keep an eye out for the perfect property for you, but they can also make sure your email notifications are set up to notify you when a property that fits your needs hits the market. It’s also crucial to have your relationship with your REALTOR established as there are still highly desirable properties going under contract within a few days of listing. You might not have time to wait! Spring is a great time to purchase as it gives you the summer to enjoy your new home!
Sellers
As we enter the heavy listing period of spring, it’s more important than ever for your property to stand out. Your property’s presentation includes pricing, photography, third party placement, description, virtual tours, and more. Not every brokerage will offer you the same level of service! Don’t take experience and area knowledge for granted – it can make a huge difference in the initial presentation of your property. Only a full-time local agent can properly advise you on the best price for your property… remember Deep Creek is a unique market! Every property is different and pricing should be viewed as a strategy when listing. Professional photos, 3D virtual tours, aerial photography.. that’s all standard for Railey Realty listings!
