As a buyer's agent or a listing agent - my mission, passion and pledge are to provide unparalleled client services.
Teresa, I completely agree that correctly pricing a home takes more time than ever. I now find it imperative to delve into the comparable sold properties and hope like heck there are a lot of photos and virtual or video tours to get an understanding of the interior comparisons. Driving and understanding the nuances in the neighborhood is also an important piece of the puzzle. With enough lead time, (prior to marketing and entering the listing into MLS), I find it helpful to preview the actives and monitor their status as they hopefully transition into sold homes. This, combined with viewing the multiple comparable data sources, all assist me in coming up with the most accurate price possible. Additionally - this helps me provide accurate data to the appraiser when the time comes. Of course, even with these measures, there are no guarantees… I also like Barry’s suggestion of doing an up-front appraisal and will use this strategy to determine listing prices on properties more difficult to comp.
