Right now in Philadelphia it’s a buyer’s market. However, due to the extended tax credit, inventory will be in greater demand and there may be competition for properties as the tax credit deadline draws near. To qualify for the tax credit a property needs to have a signed agreement no later than April 30, with settlement taking place no later than June 31. For those who have lived in their primary residence for 5 or more years, upgrading to a higher priced property qualifies you for a $6,500 tax credit. See our blog for detailed information and requirements.
Your goal as a seller is to capture as many buyers as possible and sell your home for the highest price possible in the shortest amount of time. Here’s what we do to help you achieve this:
- Right price
We know the Philadelphia real estate market inside and out. We will do a comparative market analysis of your home based on comparable properties which are for sale or have sold in your neighborhood over the past year. We will discuss what you’d like to net from the sale of your property and do our best to get you the highest price possible. However, we won’t overprice your house, we’ll price it right. This will maximize the number of buyers interested in your home and increase the likelihood of a quick sale. - Showcase your home
First impressions count and there are numerous ways of staging your home to entice the right buyer. We will coach you on creating the best possible atmosphere in your home so that it looks fabulous! - Marketing and Exposure
Buyers look for homes online so it is very important to have your home available on as many online resources as possible. Your property will be visible on greenrevolutionrealty.com, KW.com, Realtor.com, Trend, craiglist, Facebook , Twitter, Linked In, etc. We are constantly updating our web presence so this is a growing list. In addition, we actively monitor and increase traffic to our website which increases the number of buyers who will be viewing your home.
We hold public open houses as well as broker’s opens which includes mailings to all area realtors as well as prospective buyers.
We create professional brochures and flyers for your home both on the web and to be displayed at your property. Our professionally designed web flyers will showcase your property daily on Craigslist. Included in these flyers are photos and a virtual tour if desired.
We consistently email flyers and property updates to prospective buyers in our growing database as well as to area realtors. We create a constant presence for your property until it is SOLD.
- Feedback
All showings of your home are made through a central appointment agency. We are emailed feedback immediately after a showing has taken place which includes all contact info. for that realtor. We will share that feedback with you in a weekly email. - Agreement of Sale
We will present you with an offer as soon as we receive it and will negotiate to get you the best price and terms possible. We’ll make sure the buyer is qualified to purchase your home and capable of obtaining a mortgage if necessary. We will help you through the home inspection process and help you with obtaining any repairs that may be needed on your property. - Settlement
We will make sure the buyer meets all contingencies on time and that the conveyancing paperwork is satisfactorily completed by our in house conveyancing department to enable a smooth settlement.
