Our Shea Preferred team has monitored every single resale transaction at Encanterra since the first sale over 10 years ago. It’s amazing to see what some agents list for and how long a home will linger on the market. If vacant, you need to consider the nearly $700-900 a month in operational costs. If you have a mortgage, add that amount, say $1700 average, then $2400-$2600 a month in carrying cost adds up over 6-8 months. We have seen agents lower list pricing by as much as $200,000, yes that’s right, $200,000. Many times, sellers have listed with a friend, neighbor, or agents from across the Valley and maybe they did get a 1% listing or less. Many sellers could have listed with our onsite team at 8-9% and walked away with more cash, and sold in half the time. This community is about selling the lifestyle and if this is your agents first listing in the community or they list one at a time, what expert marketing advice can they provide for prospective buyers? What detailed questions can they answer from Realtors or buyers? We hear many sellers ask, how much are the real estate fees? But the most important question should be, how much will I net? If you give a financial advisor $100,000 to invest and he does it for nothing as a favor, say you end up with $104,500 after a year. What if you paid the very best advisor 10% and your $100,000 is now $128,950? Did you really get a “deal†or did you net more with the professional? For every discount point offered to you, our team can provide 10 reasons why this, in the end, is not a deal.
