GETTING YOUR PROPERTY READY FOR THE MARKET

In order to maintain the market value of your property, the most important thing you

can do is maintain your property. Cleanliness says a lot more to a potential buyer than clean - it says “well maintained”.  Repairing leaking faucets, toilets, gutters, etc… early will eliminate costly repairs later and save you hundreds of dollars when you are negotiating the sale of your home.

 

When you decide to remodel use common sense, not all remodeling or upgrade cost can be recovered. Removing clutter and personal items will help potential buyers visualize your property as their home.

 

The Switzer Team has the experience to help you prepare your property for the

market. We can make recommendations to help you realize maximum market value.

FIVE DISTINCT ADVANTAGES TO SELL REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION

1. You get immediate action.

​

2. People who have shown interest in your property will realize that if they want it, they must commit themselves to purchase it at a definite time and place.

​

3. It focuses the attention of all prospective buyers upon your property, and they are put on notice that the property will sell to the highest bidder at a specific time and place.

 

4. The auction method is done in a manner where there can be no criticism as to price obtained. Courts, Trustees and business professionals everywhere, in most cases, have held that an Auction well advertised and well attended will determine a fair market value over all other methods.

​

5. It’s the only way to sell with a good possibility of obtaining a higher price than the original asking price.

POWER OF THE AUCTION METHOD

During the past two decades auctions have increased so greatly in popularity that over 40% of the properties sold in this country are marketed by the AUCTION method.

 

According to the National Association of Auctioneers more than $113 billion dollars in real estate alone sells at auction every year.

 

At auction, you set the terms and conditions, eliminate extended market time, obtain a fair market value, avoid contingencies, and quickly liquefy your assets.

 

Auctions are no longer considered a “Last Resort” but a useful marketing tool to be considered as the “First Alternative”.

 

Switzer Auctioneers are experts in the auction method.
