Making Your Listing Stand Out

When listing your home for sale, you’ll want to do your best to ensure it stands out amongst the many other comparable properties it will be competing against. In order to ensure that it does, Kent goes above and beyond with top-tier technology features to showcase every aspect of your home in its best light. This includes a richly detailed description, drone photography, virtual tour, and video tour of your home.

No two homes are exactly the same, which is why the description of your listing will be entirely unique to your property. This helps to help buyers get a better understanding of the home they are viewing, with colourful and rich descriptors that detail the lifestyle they can expect when living there. It also provides a space for you to familiarize buyers with what you love and treasure most about your home that can’t be shown in a picture or tour.

While listing photos are still standard practice for giving buyers a first impression of your home online, when listing with Kent Braaten, your home’s online presence will be as visually enhanced as possible. Drone photography provides buyers with a unique aerial perspective of not just your property, but the surrounding area and neighbourhood that can’t be seen from the ground. A virtual tour gives buyers a realistic and immersive 360 degree view of your home that allows them to feel as though they’re really there from the comfort of their couch. Lastly, a video tour gives a professional, movie-quality finish to your online advertising package with editorial panning shots accentuated with uplifting and engaging music.

 Determining What Your Home is Worth

Appropriately pricing your listing the minute it hits the local real estate market is the best way to get the most for your home. Houses that stay on the market for longer are more likely to need price adjustments that continue to lower the value of the property. That is why finding the most appealing price for the current market’s buyers from the start is key in protecting your investment. And the best way to determine the value of your home in today’s real estate market is through a professionally-prepared comparative market analysis (CMA).

These extensive reports take the location and characteristics unique to your home and compare them to those with similar features that have been recently listed, sold, or expired in your area. This gives you an accurate idea of which prices are working for properties like yours and which ones aren’t, so you can find where you should fall in the market for the quickest and most profitable sale. Also taken into consideration in a home valuation are property features, including any improvements made, current market conditions, the terms you are willing to offer as a seller, and the motivation you may have to sell your home. What will not affect the value of your home, however, are what you paid, your investments, what friends and family may think it is worth, and what you would like to make.
