Selling The Woodlands homes – Woodlands real estate

Thinking of selling your Woodlands Home? Our brokerage specializes in selling homes within The Woodlands.

Selling a home can be a cumbersome process, especially in today’s real estate market; choosing the right agent or Brokerage Company can be the difference from just listing your property to actually selling it. There are many choices out there for property owners to choose from when looking for an agent to help; many property owners I talk to are frustrated with agents that simply list their home on the MLS then disappear though.

There is certainly more to selling Woodlands real estate than taking a few pictures and loading them onto the MLS; I think the biggest complaint I hear from sellers is that their agent won’t return phone calls, another complaint is that the agent isn’t proactive in trying to sell the property (doesn’t do anything), yet another is that they really don’t know about the particular neighborhood or property they’re selling, therefore cannot convey information about it to people looking to possibly buy it.

This can happen for a few reasons; either the listing agent is not a full time agent, therefore has no real knowledge about the local market, they’re lazy, or on the other end of the spectrum they’re too busy and carry too many listings to be able to properly handle yours!

Many of the self proclaimed “top agents” carry so many listings that there’s no way they could possibly know everything about all of them to be able to properly convey information and service them. Other agents simply don’t have the knowledge, experience, or resources to properly market The Woodlands homes for sale.

It takes a lot of capital to properly market Woodlands real estate, especially in today’s market. Web sites, search engine optimization, home magazines, print material, signage, newsletters, professional photos, professional relationships within the real estate world, the list can go on.. There are many factors on whether a home that’s listed will sell or not in today’s market that I could go on about; when you are ready to sell instead of just list, please contact me so we can map out a plan together to make sure yours has a fair chance to sell. I would like to share my thoughts as well as my marketing plan with you regarding the sale of your Woodlands home; I work with property owners on an individual basis, each with a clearly mapped out marketing plan up front for all to understand and agree upon.

Please look over some of the methods I use to help people sell their homes listed below, but know that I always welcome any other ideas from potential sellers. By having a clear plan up front before listing a property alleviates the uncertainty, tension, and potential problems that so often happen between home-owners and listing agents during the selling process.

For a free evaluation of your property, please feel free to contact me; I respect that you have the choice on whom to give your business and would like to have the opportunity to earn it.

Sincerely, Ray Faragher
