Marketing Your Home

There are many things to consider when selling your home and they all work together in getting it sold. One step is preparing your home to sell which starts with cleaning, decluttering and de-personalizing. You may also want to fix items that need repair or updating, painting, professionally cleaning rugs & floors, washing the exterior of the house and sprucing up the yard with flowers.

If all goes well and everything comes together, you want as many people to see your house as quickly as possible. We want everyone to look at the fabulous photos and schedule a tour and the best-case scenario is that several people find it appealing and are interested in making an offer, preferably at the same time. This is where having a comprehensive marketing plan that goes beyond having photos on the MLS and placing a sign in the yard.

Welcome to Idaho's Ultimate Real Estate Marketing

Presentation is Everything
Make your home outstanding

  • A clean house sells faster. Declutter, depersonalize, and brighten every room. Let the buyers imagine their life in the house, not yours.
  • The kitchen sells the house, that's how important it is! Pay special attention to decluttering this space.
  • Optimize your curb appeal by washing the exterior of the house and driveway. Add mulch and colorful annual flowers to your gardens.
  • Selling your home in “as-is” condition means leaving money on the table. Fix obvious deferred maintenance, deep clean every inch of your home, and add a coat of paint to instantly add value.

TIP: Hire a home staging consultant to improve the sale price by an average of 6%, and sell up to 50% faster. (Home Staging Resource)

Create An Amazing Perspective
Use aerial photography

  • Homes with aerial images sold 68% faster. (RISMedia)
  • Aerial images provide a game-changing perspective for buyers who are not familiar with the area, especially out-of-state buyers.
  • When selling a property with large lots or acreage, aerial photographs are even more important to show the size of the property.

TIP: Ask your agent if they will provide aerial footage of your home to attract the best buyers.

Understand the Psychology of Pricing
And how to use it to Win

  • Pricing your home correctly in the beginning will simultaneously save you money and net more money from the sale.
  • When selling your home, attractive pricing (Inman) and packaging (HGTV) are arguably the two most basic essentials. Getting these right means selling faster, and for top dollar.
  • Your marketing plan should include a pricing strategy to avoid the possibility of a price reduction or being on the market too long, which causes buyers to question, "What is wrong with that home?".

TIP: Discuss and analyze the comparables provided by your agent to decide on the current market value for your home and a strategic, competitive listing price.
