Linda O’Koniewski, CEO, Leading Edge, wants homeowners to be aware of two critical issues if you plan to sell your home:
1) Homes that sell without the benefit of the multiple listing service (MLS) sell for 16.98% less than homes that are fully marketed to all qualified homebuyers according to an extensive study.* That is an $84,900 lost profit on a $500,000 property!
2) Agents who suggest you sell off market as a “private exclusive” make it sound enticing, but fail to mention that a small pool of buyers may result in substantially less money in your pocket.
Ask yourself…”Would you like to sell your biggest investment to an auction of one or to a huge buyer pool of qualified buyers?
Call a Leading Edge agent who is happy to do the extra work, extra showings, extra communication and extra negotiation to sort through a pile of offers you may get if you take their advice in this red hot market. Our methods ensure you get the best price and terms.
