#1 Home Seller Objective… Sell quickly? Sell at max value? Sell in an organized fashion? Something else entirely?

The Jason Brown Group

We see 3 common objectives with the majority of our home sellers: Sell quickly, sell for max value, and sell in an organized fashion.  It’s the selling trifecta. Yet while these are the basis for most home sales, it would be a mistake to assume that all — or even one — of these objectives is most important to a specific home seller. Therefore we ASK our sellers to let us know their #1 home selling objective. Whether it’s one of the 3 common objectives, or something else entirely, if we don’t ask there’s just no way we can truly help a seller achieve their real estate goals. After determining a seller’s #1 home selling objective then we can dive into the other important factors in selling a home.

Temp 1294
One of the critical factors in selling a home is showing condition of the property. This is something that in most cases a seller can control and we’re able to suggest repairs, updating and staging that can help sellers maximize the financial return on their real estate investment. With buyers frequently doubling the estimated costs of deferred maintenance and repairs that would need addressed after closing, it almost always makes senses for a seller to consider making essential repairs, updating and staging efforts prior to going on the market. With the experience of 1,000+ area home sales, I’m on top of the latest trends and able to provide sellers valuable free insight into what buyers are looking for in the price range. Should a home stager need brought in, I’m connected with the best stagers in the area. I also understand that some selling situations simply don’t involve the ability — time, financial means or interest — to implement such recommendations… And that’s OK.

Another factor we discuss is marketing of the home. My group has a system in place to effectively market a property in today’s real estate market and we follow our plan to T. We’re constantly monitoring what is working in today’s real estate market and we’re always prepared to make necessary adjustments that ensure we’re on top of the most effective means of marketing a home. I will never be the type of agent who just puts a sign in the yard and hopes for the best. There’s much more to selling a home than that and it’s my goal to exceed client expectations in getting the word out to buyers and buyer’s agents.

Communication is an often overlooked trait and poor communication is something that can really cause problems. If communication is weak in the early stages, it’s unlikely to get better later in the process. Real estate is ever-changing and there’s critical communication that needs to happen between a listing agent and seller. Without clear communication, how can a seller know what’s being done to market the home? How showings are going? How feedback is going? How the real estate market is doing? Does pricing need evaluated further? What are the recommended next steps? I have clients tell me all the time that they’ve never worked with an agent with clearer or as frequent communication. It’s my goal to head something off before it becomes a problem or explain something before my client has the need to ask about it. And this direct communication with my sellers is something that most other large real estate groups instead have an assistant handle. I handle all communication directly with our sellers every step of the way.

Home pricing is the selling factor that typically trumps all other aspects of the selling process. In most cases, there’s little that marketing, organization or a seller’s objectives can do to overcome a severely overpriced home. So it’s vital for a listing agent and seller to have a candid conversation about pricing before a home goes on the market, and then at regular intervals thereafter if a home hasn’t gone under contract. In most cases, it’s possible to provide a seller with a detailed market assessment, factoring in property location and property condition, and to provide a likely sales price range… Along with providing a seller the likely expected outcomes at different price points, time intervals, etc.

When you schedule me to come to your home, you can count on me going over the 4 primary selling objectives: How to sell quickly, how to sell for max value, how to sell in an organized fashion, and to ask… What’s YOUR #1 home selling objective?

Shortage of real estate inventory means NOW is the time to sell… Especially under the $500,000 price range!

The Jason Brown Group

Inventory in Johnson County Kansas has been down for more than two years and right now we’re hovering around 2 months of inventory in many areas. 5 to 7 months of inventory is considered a balanced market.  In my 25 years in the real estate industry, I’ve never seen anything like it. Right now in Olathe Kansas we have the lowest volume of inventory I’ve ever seen… There’s just 1.6 months of inventory on the market!  That’s simply are not enough homes to meet demand and I’m in search of listings to put on the market right now, especially in the under $500,000 price range.

Temp 1105
If you know ANYONE thinking about selling their home, I can help them. I’ll run a market assessment to show them where they’d be if we were in a balanced real estate market. Then I’ll show them what the current market means to them. In quick moving areas right now, buyers in the $400’s price range can likely add 4 to 6% on to the list price and still get great activity… Buyers in the $300’s price range can likely add 6 to 8% on to the list price and still get great activity… Buyers in the $200’s price range can likely add 8 to 10% on to the list price and still get great activity.

My cost effective listing preparation tips help sellers get their homes ready to go on the market quickly and with the least amount of hassle possible. We then get to work to get our seller’s homes under contract quickly and SOLD for the highest possible price. I definitely have the experience and systems in place to ensure my sellers get the best possible deal.

If you know anyone considering a move, PLEASE let me know or have them call me… 913-915-6008. I’ll go out of my way to take care of them and make sure they get a great deal! We definitely go above and beyond for our clients, including right now we’re having a promotion assisting buyers with the costs of a home inspection during the home buying process… See promotion details here!

Keller Williams nationally is #1 in number of agents, #1 in closed listings and #1 in overall closed sales volume. When I joined Keller Williams 15 years ago, 99% of people here in our area had never heard of Keller Williams. I’m now one of the 1% longest tenured agents with Keller Williams in the metro area. I’ve had the honor of serving on my office’s agent leadership council, which makes the important decisions that control the direction of our office.

My office continues to sell real estate in record numbers and I can definitely help you if you’re looking at making a move. I’m definitely one of the most dedicated agents around and usually the first agent in the office most mornings, despite being in the top producing office in the metro.
