I have also seen many properties poorly positioned on the market and completely mis-marketed by agents at companies large and small. It kinda sounds like your saying I’m hitting softballs. However, I’ve sold listings in undesireable areas too. One in particular had two major issues occur within 1 block of the house when it was on the market. I’m talking bout police, swat teams and riot gear on every news station and in every newspaper right before and during the short listing period. Mine sold very quickly while others languished on the market for over 1 year. Sorry but I don’t agree and think I can prove it.
There is absolutely nothing that price cant fix and it is best to fix it b4 you hit the market. That is perhaps my greatest strength. With a workable price out of the gate and top notch marketing you give yourself the best chance for success.
I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest marketing minds in the world, yes the world including Sr Vp’s of marketing at Fortune 50 companies whose marketing has defined American Culture. They taught me many things I carry with me. First and foremost is that you only get one chance to be new. Don’t blow it!
I make sure all my clients understand this and many other vital marketing strategies. Feel free to use that one if you think it would help.
