Key Points 

Every real estate buy or sell has a story behind it; first home, raising children, dream home, retirement home or investment property. Real estate agents are a big part of these stories, so it’s important that we contribute to them in a good way. 

We sell a home twice. First we present it to the market in a way that’s going to attract buyers but then we also have to justify the price so that an appraiser can look at the home logically and agree with the price. 

Listing success comes down to 3 things: price, positioning and promotion. 

There are so many parts of selling a home that are stressful for a homeowner and the longer it gets drawn out, the more miserable their experience will be. When we list a home, the goal is to create a lot of momentum at the beginning and get massive exposure out front to attract more than one interested party.
