Yards signs are the first point of contact to your home for many buyers. Our state-of-the-art “reflective” yard sign really grabs the buyers’ attention since it can be seen both day and night offering your house maximum exposure. While other Real Estate signs are virtually invisible at night, our signs can be seen clearly 24 hours a day when car lights shine on them...just like a traffic sign. This gives you double the exposure of any other sign out there.

“Your House Is In Sight Both Day or Night”

Around the Clock…We’re Making Heads Turn!

Which sign would you rather have in your front yard?

Strategically Pricing Your House

Pricing your property is a balancing act. Sellers and Buyers usually have opposite opinions of acceptable pricing. Our CMA will target a price range that is designed to attract as many qualified buyers as possible while being able to support the Sellers best interest during negotiations. Ultimately the final price will be one that both Seller & Buyer agree to as a common acceptable price range.

Page 37: Bittinger Team - How We Get Houses Sold

The Pricing Pyramid

How you price your house will directly impact how many buyers, showings, and offers you attract, and ultimately how easily it sells. At the center of the pyramid is fair market value where a reasonable percentage of buyers will view & purchase. When you under price, you attract a greater percentage and when you over price you attract a lower percentage.

Page 38: Bittinger Team - How We Get Houses Sold

Optimum Time On Market

Experience shows the first few weeks on the market is when your house gets maximum showing activity and buyer interest. Pricing it properly the first time on the market will result in the best chances of obtaining the highest offer. Beyond five weeks your house will increasingly be viewed as a “stale” listing … i.e. as a commodity with a history of being rejected by buyers.

Page 39: Bittinger Team - How We Get Houses Sold

Consequences of Overpricing

The strategy of overpricing your property, knowing you can reduce it later, makes sense at first glance. However it seldom works for these reasons:

Your high price actually sells other listings Fewer buyers respond to ads, fewer agents show it Offers at inflated prices leads to mortgage appraisal

rejection Reducing the price after it becomes stale will not

generate as much interest as when priced properly from the beginning

Page 40: Bittinger Team - How We Get Houses Sold

If we receive little or no showings then a price correction is to be expected.

And, According to the National Association of Realtors…

We should receive an offer after

10-12 showings. If not, then a price correction is to be expected.
