Service that can offer buyers the affordable home of their choice. They do the legwork, the paperwork, and the hard work to help you sell your home quickly.

THE BENEFITS OF PROPER PRICING
When you determine your home’s price, bewareof the pitfalls of overpricing. Logically, youwould think thatthe higher theprice of yourhouse the moremoney you willreceive for it,but there is afine linebetween supplyand demand. Potential buyers who see yourhome’s listing price may bypass even looking atit without considering making a lower offer.
Concurrently, buyers who are looking only in aspecific price range that is less than the cost ofyour house will never have the opportunity toview your home, leaving you with less
marketability. On the flip side, those who couldafford to purchase your home will inevitabley bedrawn to better values that are offered elsewhere.
The perils of overpricing can be negated by thebenefits of proper pricing. Below are just a few ofthe many benefits that can be reaped with properpricing:
• Higher offers accompany a fair market value.
• Real estate agents will be more likely to showyour home enthusiastically if he/she believes it is agood market value. A reasonably-priced home willgenerate competing offers among potential buyers.
• A well-priced home will attract more qualifiedbuyers, ensuring that its marketability remains.
