WHAT DETERMINES PRICEOur brokers look at various aspects to determine the market value of your property. We take into account things such as:

LOCATION Location plays a large role in determining price. Factors such as proximity to public transportation, development and desirability of a neighborhood and conveniences are taken into account when considering price.

COMPETITION Buyers will compare and interpret the value of your home based on other available properties. I will provide you with accurate comparables that have both recently been sold and are currently listed to help you understand the competition. I will also provide a detailed analysis of these properties to examine how long they have been or were on the market, if they have undergone a price drop and any other factors that will be necessary in determining the best list price for you.

TIMING Market conditions change and cannot be manipulated. I will provide an pricing strategy based on when your property is listed and BOND’s in house marketing team will create an effective and aggressive marketing plan to ensure we maximize the timing of your property entering the market.

CONDITION Property condition directly affects the price and speed of your sale. I will provide guidance and expertise on what steps need to be taken to make the best first impression on potential buyers.

MAXIMIZING REAL ESTATE VALUEOften, simple cosmetic changes can be made with minimal time and expense to increase the value of your property. Since buyers compare competing properties, we suggest a few practical tips to make yours stand out.

Eliminate clutter

Repair

Clean

Presentation

Leave

Your property will feel larger and brighter, while allowing

prospective buyers to explore it comfortably, envisioning it

with their own personal touches.

If you think something is too much trouble to fix, chances

are buyers will, too. Making repairs allows you to present

your property in a better light and increase its value.

Presenting a clean home to a buyer shows them the

home has been valued and cared for.

Place fresh flowers in the apartment, open all of the

drapes/blinds, turn on all of the lights, make the beds, put

all clothes away, turn off the televisions, and be sure the

kitchen and baths shine.

Potential buyers are much more comfortable and will be

more likely to discuss how they feel about a property if the

seller is not at home during the showing.
