Reasons to Choose Marilynn Durkee To Sell your Home
The goal is to sell your home quickly for the right price, but that can be accomplished in a variety of ways.
Some questions to ask:
How will your property be listed on the MLS? Will it have a picture attached immediately upon listing? Will the quality of that picture sell the property? Is the description on the MLS well written?
With 95% of all sales made through the MLS, it is essential that you use an agent who is aware of the importance of marketing your home properly on the MLS. Always ask to see how the listing appears!
Does your agent have good contacts with other agents in order to "spread the word" about your home sale?
I have a good working relationship with agents from AgentOwned as well as other agencies throughout the Charleston area. Those connections assist me to find agents who have current buyers interested in properties that I list. I work aggressively to find a buyer.
Will your agent advertise your property creatively?
It is not enough to advertise a property in the newspaper. My biggest asset is my partnership with Joe Eddleman. Between the two of us, we are able to reach thousands of buyers through our internet efforts. We are happy to answer your questions about how we acccomplish this. We are both e-Pro qualified and website designers, giving us an edge over other agents.
Is your property priced right?
In today's market it is essential that you price it right. I do an in-depth analysis of the market, to work with clients to reach the correct pricing, being flexible enough to work with your desires. I keep in contact constantly to assess the reaction of those who have viewed the home and to update you with what is happening in the market.
To get the highest price for your home it is important that it be exposed to the largest number of potential homebuyers, not only in the Charleston area, but also throughout the country.
