With all the conflicting news about the real estate market you may be hesitant to put your property up for sale. There are many reports that the market hasn't "Hit Bottom" yet, "Excess Inventory", and "Prices are still too high".

However, the reality is that here in the Greater Rocky Mount North Carolina Area we average selling 127.3 properties per month (2006 average). So, why would you wait?

If you are wanting to sell then of course your property must be "For Sale". The key to being one of the "127.3" is to have a property that shows well, is priced right, and a marketing campaign that provides maximum exposure.

Just knowing this isn't enough. The key is to search for and select the Realtor that will help you get your property priced right and has a marketing strategy that will provide maximum exposure. You of course, control the properties condition and therefore how well it shows.

Be very cautious about listing your property with a Realtor that merely selects the list price at whatever you want. Your Realtor should provide sound advise based on experience and data to back up his/her pricing strategy. If you are interviewing a Realtor that can't show you data to support the list price then you should run, not walk away and find another.

Also, marketing is differant from advertising. We are in a solid "Buyers" market. It will take more than a sign in the yard and an ad in the Sunday paper to get your property sold at the best price. Marketing is an integrated series of tasks and actions that result in wide exposure for your property.

If you are thinking of selling and would like the best possible opportunity to do so, please give me a call. All it will cost you is about an hour of your time to meet with me and discuss a pricing and marketing strategy for success.
