Marketing
Marketing and promotion are extremely important for a successful sale. Our main marketing goal is simple - to get buyers into your home to make a decision. The high-quality and creative marketing campaign Mini develops for each property has a goal to maximize your exposure to the right buyers locally and abroad. We accomplish this goal through expertise in online and print media, cutting edge social media and traditional marketing methods. The final results are huge exposure to the best buyers, more qualified showings, and more offers on your home.
Pricing
Correctly pricing a home plays a huge part in getting the highest price possible and is one of our key distinctions. Pricing strategies vary enormously with market conditions. A well-priced home attracts the most buyers, as price is the single largest factor in a prospective buyer’s decision to make an offer. When pricing a home, Mini factors in similar nearby homes that are currently for sale, the number of active buyers looking in the area, the time of the year, local economic indicators, and the state of the financial markets to make sure we attract as many offers as possible and never leave money on the table.
On The Market
As soon as your home is prepared and listed on the market, Mini will coordinate all showings of your property to buyers and their brokers. Mini and her team follow up to give you up-to-date feedback from the showings to help you understand how your home is positioned in the market.
Showings
The showing period is one of the most important phases of the sale. We want as many potential buyers as possible to visit your home, spend time there, and come to us with any and all questions. Because our properties are exceptionally prepared, we also want to be sure that buyers have the greatest opportunity to tour your home. We use an online scheduling calendar to make it simple for buyers and agents to see your home. Once the county allows open houses again, we have extended open house hours for the first weekend with refreshments and have our team on hand all day to answer questions and provide information. We often have a lender on site as well to answer questions from prospective buyers.
Escrow & Final Sale
Our fiduciary responsibility to you extends all the way through escrow and final transfer of funds. Our aim is to make this legal step as easy and simple for you as possible. Our in-house escrow team meticulously handles all the legal and financial details of the transactions with you, including working with a title company, creating all the forms correctly with online signatures, and ensuring proper county registration of all documents. If needed, Mini pays for consulting assistance from an Attorney and Accountant who are on retainer to answer questions that will assist in the successful close of your sale.
