The Right Realtor and Real Estate Agent for you in Eau Claire Wisconsin

Finding the best Eau Claire Real Estate Agent and Realtor is important. If you are serious about selling your home then you need someone with serious marketing skills. Today the internet is more important than ever and having an agent with a huge internet presence can really make all the difference. Not only is it important to make sure that your listing appears on a variety of websites but you must be sure that the home is being aggressively marketed instead of just passively. What’s the difference?

Passive marketing in real estate is what I would call “making it available.” This includes all the traditional methods used such as a sign in the yard and entering the listing in the MLS ( Multiple Listing Service)

But in today’s market your agent must go further than this to get it sold. Sure these methods work but if all it took to get a home sold was the sign in the yard or entering it into the MLS then every home would be sold. Obviously there is more to the puzzle than this alone. At most these techniques put your house on a level playing field with every other house for sale in your market. That’s why it’s just not enough. Don’t you want more? That’s why it’s important to find an agent who can offer more.

 Call me today to find out what I do differently to get homes sold in today’s market.

Houses are selling.

I said it.

Believe it or not our market is actually doing ok. Sure its not as fast paced as some markets and its not as slow as some markets either. But homes are selling. There have been some lessons learned by every Real Estate Agent in our area. Tried and true methods are effective and still work. Pricing came to be one of the more critical factors in determining whether a house was sold or not. Trying to convey this message to our clients was crucial. It seems like hardly anyone was ready but we are making it. We worked together and got the job done.

The market might stay like this for some time. Maybe prices will have to come down another percent or so. Its really hard to say exactly where we are at. But there is value to be found.

The majority of people selling their homes are also “moving up” in price point. What this means is the house they are selling is valued less than the home they are buying. If this is the case with you then think of it like this: if the house you are selling is valued less so is the house you are buying. If percentages hold true a 1% lower sale price on a $100,000 home equals only $1000. While moving up to a $200,000 house means that you have saved $1000 off the price tag as well.

If you are selling your home and moving the other way, for instance if you are downsizing, chances are you have built up some equity in your home. Sure you might have got a higher sales price a couple years ago but no one can perfectly predict the market. You might be selling your home for less today but it can hardly be a loss. I always hear that people are taking a loss. How so? You haven’t really lost anything. Even if you bought a home last year and now you are selling it for less that what you paid for, is that really a loss? Since when are we living in homes for free? If you look at your house payment as if it were paying rent maybe you can see things a bit differently. It has to cost something to live somewhere. On top of that you probably got some great tax breaks for home ownership that you might not have gotten if you were renting.

Its all about perspective.

Selling your Eau Claire Wisconsin Home

List & Sell Your Eau Claire Wisconsin Home

If you are thinking about selling your home in Eau Claire Wisconsin contacting an Agent and Realtor® is an important first step. Homes are still selling in the area even with the market shift. But there can be a reason why some homes are selling while others are not. Today price is an important factor that must not be overlooked. If your home is overpriced the buyer will move on to the next. They might come back for a second look if you lower the price but being too high in this market can be disastrous. If a buyer has a window of one month to buy a home they take a look at what is on the market currently in their price range. Then they take a look at what homes interest them. If your home is not in that range when they first look you do not even have a chance! Even a few thousand dollars can be all the difference. Don’t take chances by trying to sell an overpriced listing. Every day that goes by can be a missed opportunity.

Eau Claire Wisconsin MLS Listing Syndication

Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate

What is listing syndication? Basically this means that an Agent sends out data to a large amount of websites who host this data. The goal is to make the content of large, national sites relevant and useful for consumers.

The thing they aren’t telling you on these sites is that the listings you are looking at are old! Yup, these are old news! Only a handful of syndications integrate into the MLS in our area and usually these feeds are done only once a day. The rest rely on the agent to update their listings. Well if the agent isn’t changing the information as soon as new things change on their listings then the information is not current. Every time the price changes the agent has to go back and manually change the price on over a dozen sites! It probably goes without saying that most Agents aren’t going to have time for this. So what happens? The data becomes old and basically useless. Many of these sites are showing listings that are months old! I have seen some sites that have listings that were from 2006. What good is that?

Check out my website! It is full of relevant tips and information as well as providing one of the area’s most comprehensive search portals where you can search MLS listings in the Chippewa Valley.

Selling Your Eau Claire Wisconsin Home

Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate

What do you need to know before selling your home in Eau Claire Wisconsin?

Contrary to what you have been seeing in the news homes are still selling in our area. Real Estate is local and thats why its so important that you work with Agent who really knows the local Real Estate market.

Homes are still selling but things have changed. Things will always change and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. If you work with an Agent who embraces change and is always looking ahead to the future. I believe in cutting edge technology.

Probably every Agent is familiar with the tried and true methods of selling a home. Lets face it, if its not broke don’t fix it! Right? Well what if there were other new techniques?

Well there are and you are looking at one of the best new ways out there to reach to a target market! Yup, you are staring at it! Statistics say that over 80% of people looking for a home start their search on the Internet I would say that in our area the number would be well over 95%. What does this mean when it comes to marketing your home?

If your Agent does not know web 2.0 techniques for selling your home they are missing the boat! I am not talking about using web syndicated listings to put your home in multiple places. While I agree that having your home listed in as many places is important this does nothing to help people with a hard targeted search for homes in our area. I am sure you have been to one of these National sites and I bet you it was very hard navigating through all the homes entering in cities and your state just to do a search.
