In Florida, there are three types of Brokerage Relationships between parties in a real estate transaction:
• Seller’s Agent - An agent who represents the Seller (Single Agency.)• Buyer’s Agent - An agent who represents the Buyer (Single Agency.)• Transaction Agent - An agent who is exclusive to neither Seller nor Buyer and provides limited representation due to potential conflicts of interest. (Florida law prohibits dual agency.)
When you engage The BC Team to promote the sale of your property, we work exclusively on your behalf and we are focused solely on your best interests.

The Factors That Affect Your Home’s Market Value

Using a Comparative Market Analysis as a Guide
The market will always determine the true value of real estate. Accordingly, one must examine existing market conditions to determine asking price.
As a member of the Board of REALTORS® with access to the Multiple Listing Service, we have researched comparable properties. Using this valuable information, we can assist you in determining an attractive, yet realistic price for your home.
A Comparative Market Analysis highlights similar homes in your area that are:
Active Listings - Homes that are currently competing with yours for the attention of buyers.
Under Contract - Homes that have received and accepted an offer and provide a good indication of realistic pricing.
Sold - Looking at the prices paid for recently sold homes provides the best foundation in determining your home's most accurate market value

The Excitement of a “Just Listed” Home
When selling your home, time is not your friend. When a new home is listed for sale, we market it extensively to other agents and to potential buyers via various websites. Working agents and prospective buyers will see it quickly after listing. Interest will build over the first 2-6 weeks and then slowly wane.
If you are not priced right, you may miss showing opportunities, or showings that do occur will not produce an offer.

The Risks of Pricing Too High
An asking price that is beyond market range can adversely affect the marketing of a property and may, in fact, cause you reduce the price
below market just to sell it.
Realistic pricing will generate strong activity and a good amount of buyer interest.

The Problem with “Testing the Market”
• A common mistake sellers make is pricing their home high in the beginning to “test the market.” The reasoning? “We can always lower the price if we don’t receive any offers” or “We need to build in a cushion for negotiation.”
• But remember…most of the showing activity occurs when the home is first listed.
• Buyers typically feel that they should pay less for a home the longer it has been on the market. At that point you have to face the real possibility of being forced to sell it for less than if you had priced it at fair market value from the start.

The Internet age assures that today’s buyer is educated and knowledgeable before they begin the viewing process. They have a good idea of current inventory, asking price, days on market, recently sold and sold price.
With the importance of online exposure, we develop a strategic marketing plan that focuses strongly on the exact locations where buyers are looking the most yet does not overlook more traditional means of marketing.

• The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is an extensive on-line database that includes all southwest Florida listings from all participating brokerages.
• It is the single most important tool that brokerages and agents use when searching for available properties for their clients.
• The instant a property is listed on the NABOR MLS, thousands of southwest Florida agents have immediate access to all relevant data their buyers need.

You only get one chance to make an emotional connection with a potential buyer and that’s probably going to be on the Internet.
An important step in the marketing process is to have your home photographed professionally. These photos will appear online and in all printed materials.
The BC Team provides custom professional photography for your listing at our expense. Online, homes with multiple photos get viewed over five times more than homes with amateur photos.
