Hilton Head Buyers won’t pay over fair market

Used to be that if we priced our properties a bit high we would still get an offer. Today with an “overstocked” market we now have to be within 3-5% of what the property is expected to sell for before we even get an offer to work with. This is because buyers can now go “window shopping” with their computers.  Buyers today do not have to physically visit a property to determine value.

We subscribe to a service called Showing Suite for our sellers.  This system sends an email to our sellers everytime their home is shown through a lockbox.  As well, in a day the agent that showed the property is asked 5 simple question including: how they liked it, did it make the buyers short list and will the agent show it again.  Below are some of the seller benefits this system provides.  If you would like to find out more, simply email us or call us at 800-932-3652.
