Wedgewood Homes’ Post

What a week that was, records broken and both the sales and lettings teams on fire. Has Spring, sprung? Activity is positive, properties that are being marketed correctly are attracting attention and those that attract attention tend to get sold - it isn’t rocket science. At DM & Co. we are seeing a real spike in second steppers, those looking to sell their first home and move up the ladder - with this has to come education, now no longer first time buyers, but first time sellers - so what is the process, how do you sell your house for the first time? There are lots of people out there looking to buy, but not yet in a position to proceed - be it that they are not sold, or in some instances not yet on the market. This tends to create somewhat of a lag, and plenty of patience is needed to keep chains held together. If you are a seller, never forget to fully understand the position of all offers - a lesser offer, in a stronger position - can often be the right choice. If you would like to discuss the market or your property journey, please feel free to get in touch.

And in part two, we get to find out how many they actually SOLD ;) Cos that’s the point, right? It’s great to see Rowe & Co Homes listing well. But their press release would be so much more compelling if it translated listing efforts into actual deals and therefore likely revenue. Anyone can ‘list’. It takes a good agent to convert a high percentage of listings to sales.

Thinking of buying a brand-new home? Sure, the inventory is up, and builders are tossing out all sorts of incentives like confetti, but if you’re thinking of going at it alone, I’ve got to say it—you’re crazy! 😜 Here’s the deal: the builder’s rep works for the builder, not for you. Recent buyers say their agent was WAY more helpful throughout the process. Why? Because having your own agent means having someone who’s got your back, not just the builder’s bottom line. Oh, and by the way, I only work with the best realtors in the business—and trust me, they’re not all created equal! 😉 So if you’re ready to make the leap, contact me for a top-notch local referral. Don’t make one of the biggest purchases of your life without the right team in your corner!

The world of #RealEstateSales can be a daunting task for both buyers and sellers. The #HousingMarket can be confusing with changing prices. Having the right information is key to a successful transaction. This guide provides essential tips and strategies to help you understand the ins and out of #RealEstate sales.

𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁 Cold calling expired listings can be tricky because you know that the homeowner is going to get hit with calls from multiple real estate agents, maybe even that same day. Stand out from the competition with this script from REDX called The Neighborhood Expert: Hi, is this the homeowner? I’m [your name] with [your company]. You know, I work in [neighborhood], and I noticed that your home was no longer for sale. Are you planning to put it back on the market? Listen—they will sometimes say “maybe later” or “not for a while.” I can understand why you might feel pretty discouraged—it’s a great house. Any idea why it didn’t sell? Did you get any offers? Listen to what they have to say. I was just surprised to see it on the market for [how many] days. I assumed it would be gone in a few weeks. What made you all decide to sell? Where are you moving to? I know you’ve likely had quite a few agents calling you, but as I said, I’ve worked in the neighborhood for [#] years, I know this neighborhood, I’ve sold homes in this neighborhood, and I’d love a chance to sell your home or at least take a tour and see what might be holding it back. Would you mind if I came by this Saturday at [specific time]? I’m happy to give you some feedback.
