Selling a Home in Myrtle Beach

Tips on How to Get a Good Price When You Sell Your Home

Now that the real estate market in Myrtle Beach is improving, a lot of property owners are wondering if this is the time to sell a home and get a good price. The truth of the matter is that getting a good price has more to do with the marketing of the home than it does the market itself.

Of course, a busted real estate market doesn't help yet a good real estate agent can always out perform the market if they have the right strategy. Here are a few Simple steps for getting your home sold for Top Dollar in Myrtle Beach:

1. Choose a qualified Myrtle Beach Realtor. Think about this, you have a choice to hire an agent that is a beginner or part timer just as easy as you can choose an agent that has a proven track record and lots of success. No matter your choice, the commission is likely going to be the same. Why pay more for less service when you can pay the same and get more service?

2. Choose the right price. The market dictates the selling price for your property yet you have to determine the market trends to see if you can price it a bit higher knowing the market will catch up with your price over a short period of time. I am not convincing you to over-price your property, yet we see a lot of agents telling owners a price that will sell it in two days - when they could have gotten $5000 more if they would have waited one month.

3. Ask questions. Ask agents what they do to sell homes. I know this seems obvious yet agents never get this question. Owners always ask what price but fail to ask about the agents. This is setting yourself up for failure because some agents will tell you any price to get your listing. You do not want that. 

4. Request a list of marketing strategies your agent will implement. If your agent is only going to put in the MLS and wait then you are wasting your time. Get a list of 3 things your agent will do to market your property within the first 30 days.

Selling a home in Myrtle Beach for a good price is not the challenge. Finding an agent willing to market your property aggressively so you can get top dollar is the challenge.
