Price Your Property Correctly
Zillow Home Values (aka “Zestimate”) in Cape Coral FL are all over the place! Our area has 400 miles of canals and the Zestimate does not do a very consistently good job. One of the top three most crucial parts of marketing your house quickly for top dollar is pricing it to interest the largest number of buyers. Your pricing strategy is a large part of your house sale, so make sure you and your Agent are on the same page. The price may not be as high as you would prefer it to be, but if your goal is to sell for market value and quickly, it will likely be a brilliant price at realizing your exact goal of selling your house rapidly.
Consumers will make an offer on an attractively priced house, and if the price is competitive enough, multiple buyers will bid up the price of the house. It is a well-documented phenomenon of our intrinsic psychological response. Some people even get high or rush from the competition.

Ninja Real Estate Marketing
There are certain marketing strategies that top agents use to make your house sell faster and for money!
A lot of people ask Mike, what marketing strategies do you use to sell houses so fast?’ It’s not something I keep a secret. Reverse engineering the attention of buyers is the best approach to sell a house. Did you know you can download every email address of a realtor with clients that match the house your selling criteria? Plug it into a Facebook ad and it puts your house in front of every Realtor that has a buyer searching for a property like yours!
I am surprised how many Real Estate Agents will refuse to make the effort, devote the money, or put in the time to educate themselves on the marketing techniques that appeal to the highest probability buyers.
Negotiate Skillfully
Negotiations are not a battle, “Winning” war does not determine who is morally right – only who survives. Skillful Negotiations are trying to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and comprehend if there is a scenario that is a win-win for mutually the buyer and seller. I am exasperated that so many Real Estate Agents want to battle or use low tactics. There is a time and place to advocate, stand up or even fight for your client but when your strategy is steeping in unprofessional or unethical behaviors you lose the buyer.
If you negotiate skillfully most deals stay together if you do not you lose.
