This is important because we only have a limited amount of time to maximize the back-log of buyers that are available for each listing.

You will never have as much activity, or potential buyers as we do in the first 5-7 days.  That is because at any given time there is what we call a backlog of buyers, or people that are waiting for a home like yours to come onto the market.

If we can maximize that time period we have the best chance of selling your home for the highest price.

Hi everybody it’s Jason Fox with
00:08
the Madrona Group, and today I’d like to
00:10
talk to you about getting your home
00:11
market ready day one. So earlier we
00:15
talked about the five rights to making a sale of your home. The first two
00:21
are getting your house right and getting
00:23
your yard right. What does that
00:24
entail? Getting your house right is
00:29
making sure that the home is cleaned,
00:31
de-cluttered and staged so that when
00:35
somebody enters the home they can
00:37
envision living there. They can envision
00:40
putting their stuff in your home and
00:42
seeing how it fits their lifestyle.
00:45
Getting your yard right is
00:49
about the curb appeal. Getting the yard
00:51
work done, making sure the paint job is
00:54
right, the windows are right and clean and the
00:58
front door looks new and sturdy. The hardware
01:02
the door handles so when we go to open
01:04
the door there’s a feeling of security.
01:06
That’s kind of the first impression
01:09
when somebody pulls up into a
01:11
house and right away we get this feeling,
01:13
“huh could I see myself living there?”
01:16
The real first impression and what
01:19
we know is that according to the
01:21
National Association of Realtors that
01:23
95% of buyers search online before they
01:26
go look at houses. How do you determine
01:28
which houses that you want to go visit
01:30
possibly make an offer on? It’s the
01:32
pictures and maybe the videos.
01:34
It’s important that we hire a
01:36
professional photographer to really
01:38
maximize the potential of views
01:41
of the home online and to drive as
01:43
many people to the home as possible.
01:45
If you need any help getting your home
01:46
market ready day 1 don’t hesitate to
