Key Market Factors Key Marketing Factors

How long does it take to sell a property? Some properties may sell in several days, others may take several months. By recognizing some key factors that influence marketing a home, you can gain significant control over market time.

Proper balance of these factors will accelerate the sale of your property:

PriceIn today’s competitive market, price above all is the single greatest factor in expediting the sale of your property.

LocationThe old adage of “Location, location, location” is still valid in today’s market. It is an important factor which will affect your property’s value.

CompetitionBuyers will compare your property with others in the area to determine the market value. Buyers interpret value based on available properties in the market.

ConditionA property’s condition will affect your property’s value. Optimizing physical appearance maximizes value.

Terms & Incentives By strengthening terms and incentives, you will not only increase your pool of potential buyers, but also sell your home at the highest possible price.

TimingYour motivation for selling your property is a critical component in the pricing and marketing of your home. Another determining factor is whether it is a buyers’ or seller’s market.

Your Keyes associate will work with you to analyze this and create a program specifically designed for your needs. Market conditions cannot be manipulated; an individually-tailored marketing plan of action must be developed for each property


The Importance of Strategic Pricing

Determining the best competitive listing price can be one of the most challenging aspects of selling a property. It is also one of the most important. If your property is listed at a price that is above market value, you will lose potential buyers.

As Figure 1 illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value than above market value. The percentage increases as the price falls even further below market value. Therefore, by competitively pricing your property, you will expose it to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers; thus increasing your chances for a sale while also ensuring a final sale price that properly reflects the market value of your home.

Timing is another critical factor to keep in mind when pricing your home. A property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from potential buyers and the real estate community when it is first listed on the market. Therefore, your home has the highest chances of selling when it is fresh on the market and the price is reasonably established. (See Figure 2)

We give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the market and on pricing, financing, terms and the condition of competing properties. These are the key factors in getting your property sold quickly at the best price and with minimum hassle.

Number of Weeks on the Market


Pricing Your Propety to SellPricing Your Property to Sell

Pricing your property competitively is critical to sell your property in a timely manner and at the highest price possible. Current market conditions determine the value. Incorrectly pricing your property can cost you time and money. Realistic pricing will achieve a maximum sale price in a reasonable amount of time.

“When you hire us, we will immediately get to work implementing our strategic pricing plan to sell your property.”

General Guidelines…Let’s review some important considerations. There are certain factors that are within our control and others that are not. Those factors outside of our control are the following: the location, the square footage, improvements and the amenities in place. The factors we can manage are the following: the overall appearance of the property, how aggressively we market the property and the price, including terms and incentives. As we agree to accept these outside factors that are beyond our control, we commit to focus on pricing and preparation.

Local Market Observations…Given today’s interest rates and large numbers of motivated buyers, now is the time to list and sell your property.

Suggested Price Strategy…My analysis of the comparable properties suggests a list price range of $----- to $-----. This will achieve our primary goal... the sale of your property in the shortest period of time.

The traditional model for real estate has one agent trying to be all things to all people. The general practitioner provides

all of the necessary services alone, thus serving only a small number of clients at a time. This business model allows for

limited service at its best. Our team structure for real estate places you, the client, in the center of our operation, with a

specialist serving you during each phase of your real estate transaction.

We are unique and different from other real estate firms. Our company is comprised of a team of specialists who each

perform a different task in serving our clients. Every member of our team goes above and beyond to do whatever it takes

to satisfy and delight. We drop everything to get paperwork to your home. We bring you keys when you lock yourself out.

However, we don’t consider this unusual or out of the ordinary — it’s what friends do for friends.

“You are great people and you have made buying my first property in Florida “a walk in the sun.”

-Maria Defalco

“We found the entire staff experience in working with The DuPree Team to be exceptional. From the initial market assessment, to the marketing of our home, to the final closing, we found The DuPree Team to be very knowledgeable and easy to work with as they helped us to sell our home in an extremely difficult market. We would highly recommend The DuPree Team.” -Edward & Elaine Wilkening

“Everyone was enthusiastic, professional, and positive. The DuPree Team met our expectations in every way. They thoroughly understand the real estate market in South Florida... All the DuPree Team is very enthusiastic, courteous, and hardworking. They always answer their phone! The closing specialists made that process problem free. All in all, a most positive experience in a mediocre housing market.” -Raul &Mary Romero

“I can’t imagine a more professional, knowledgeable or dedicated real estate team than The DuPree Team. It made a usually stressful experience seem easy. Also when we had nearly lost all hope of finding what we were really looking for, Marta DuPree was able to match us up with the perfect property. No one knows Parkland better!” -Judith & Alfredo Ramos

“Team is the key word - everyone working together! Helped us reach a realistic price and sold in one week because of the tremendous amount of exposure. We thank you all!”

-Marlene Peritzmam

“The Team really works together as a team trying their very best in getting things done in a satisfactory manner. Their goal is to represent Keyes as best as they can and to satisfy the seller in getting the best price for the home! It’s not only a business but a close relationship between seller and realtor. We truly have been pleased with The DuPree Team.”

-Marion & Al Shoostine
