WE'RE WORKING HARD FOR YOU!
15+
DAYS ON MARKET
Market response to your property during the first 10-15 days on the market provides valuable insights! Our team will help you evaluate number of showings, buyer feedback, online interest and broker comments. Based on market response, we will work with you to determine if it is in your best interest to modify your list price. The key to making a price change is reacting quickly to market data about your property.

A: Aside from a focus on buyer feedback and broker commentary, we carefully monitor internet response through on-line hits, click-throughs and post engagement. We understand the big picture of how your property fits into our local market and after the first 10-15 days can evaluate whether you are priced appropriately or if an adjustment is advised.
