These tips will help keep you from the detours, delays, and dead ends that could frustrate you and hinder your success!
Tim Coen — Broker and Owner of Priority Home Realty Group
I want you to have the best-possible experience selling your house!
These tips will help you avoid costly mistakes so you can sell for top dollar in the market, on time to get you where you want to go, with minimum hassles and surprises!
TIP 1: GET THE HELP YOU NEED
Don’t try to do this on your own. My help and support will save you hassle, heartburn, and headaches.
I’ll prepare the effective marketing tools to highlight the best features of your house and optimize your message in the four places buyers are looking. I will seek and defend your interests through every step of selling!
“Tim is the RIGHT PERSON. He left us the impression from our first visit that he had the knowledge and resources to get our home sold. He was so successful in guiding us and using his multiple resources in listing our home that we had 3 legitimate offers in 3 days. What a blessing to know that we could then purchase our new home without the stress of wondering when our current home would sell. He is so personable; and from the beginning he made sure that we understood the process and kept us informed on every issue. Of course, we love him, but so did our buyer. When we needed a reputable roofer, Tim had the right person for that job also.”
TIP 2: CHOOSE THE STRATEGY THAT FITS YOUR GOALS
Don’t just stick a sign in your yard and hope for the best, and don't sell to any buyer without understanding both the benefits and the costs.
I’ll help you craft a selling strategy that works for you, and I will support you and boost your success in whichever strategy you choose!
“Tim did a superb job of selling our home. He was always personable and very informed. He gave us solid constructive advice in preparing our home for sale, enabling us to gain the best price. We always felt well represented and supported through the whole process. He knows his stuff, very professional, honest, punctual and pleasant. Tim is one of those rare honest to goodness guys the world could do with a lot more of.”
TIP 3: PREPARE YOUR HOUSE TO WIN
Don’t miss out on the profit that comes from buyers falling in love with your house when they first see it. Home selling is a beauty contest, and buyers pick the pretty ones.
Also, don’t waste time or money on expensive improvements that don’t make you money.
My no-obligation room-by-room review helps you choose which projects to do before you sell!
“Tim has been extremely helpful in selling my husband's sister's house. We live in Albuquerque, NM and were apprehensive about being able to find someone to handle everything long distance. From day one--he assisted us in finding a great estate sale company, eased my sister-in-law's uneasiness about selling her home (she currently is in assisted living), coordinated repairs that needed to be addressed, properly advertising the property with great photos, advised us on every aspect and now, successfully selling the house. It went smoothly--thanks to Tim. We highly recommend Tim.”
TIP 4: START AT A COMPETITIVE PRICE
Don’t cost yourself time and money by starting with a price so high that current buyers pass you by. You’ll have the most attention from current buyers when we start marketing your house.
I will help you price your house strategically to sell for top dollar!
“We were so impressed by Tim! He helped us sell our house and the way he walked us through every step and truly cared about our family made the experience memorable! His understanding of buying and selling was extensive and his expertise as well as a little luck helped us sell our house in a few days! We will recommend him to everyone we know.”
TIP 5: MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY SHOWING
Don’t let any distractions keep an interested buyer from falling in love with your house. You only get one chance to make a great first impression.
I will help you make your house shine!
“Tim sold our house last year and his attention to detail was wonderful. His follow-up via phone calls and emails is better than we could have expected. He was very candid and realistic as to what we could expect from prospective buyers, and he helped us to prep the house for sale. (A large house with 5 fireplaces, etc) His photographer did an excellent job of presenting the house. We will definitely use Tim Coen again when the need arises.”
TIP 6: ENGAGE WITH POTENTIAL BUYERS
Don’t make the mistake of waiting passively for offers to come in.
I will work to turn lookers into buyers and I’ll try to get buyers competing with each other so you can choose the best offer!
“Tim has so much knowledge and experience. Combined with his integrity and work ethic, he is the only realtor I would recommend. The marketing of our home was superb. He always responds to any communication as soon as possible and is available every step of the process. It was a pleasure working with him.”
TIP 7: NEGOTIATE EFFECTIVELY
Don’t let your emotions keep you from winning. Negotiating for yourself is like trying to do surgery on yourself.
I have the skill and experience help secure what is important to you!
“The depth and breadth of skills Tim brings to the table are fantastic! On the day we received an offer, it started substantially below the asking price and by the end of the day, he had another buyer with a full price offer. Still makes me chuckle. He is always thinking about his clients and how he can help. Tim is very in tune to the market and the process of presenting not only your property, but the information to come to a successful close. I would seek Tim out if I had another real estate deal.”
TIP 8: PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS
Don’t assume the hard work is done once you reach an agreement with a buyer. With today’s complicated lending requirements and real estate regulations, it is imperative that we take the right steps to secure your success.
I’ll take care of the countless people, paperwork, conversations and details to protect you, and I'll keep you informed about what's happening!
“Tim's assistance to us was invaluable. Not only did he help us sell our home, he also helped us sell an adjacent piece of property and purchase our current home. Our experience with Tim has always pleasant. Tim is ethical, friendly, very knowledgeable, and has in-depth understanding of the manifold details hiding within a variety of real estate transactions. We could not recommend Tim more highly.”
TIP 9: PLAN AHEAD FOR YOUR INSPECTION
Don’t get blindsided by inspection surprises and objections. Your buyer will thoroughly inspect your house, and surprises can kill the momentum we’ve worked so hard to create.
I’ll help you know how to prepare for your inspection. Then, if your buyers do have objections, I will help negotiate a resolution that works for you and protects your bottom line.
“Tim was not only professional, he was personal. He took the time needed to make selling our home a blessed success. Tim is a man of integrity and who cares about serving his client's needs to make the process work for everybody.”
TIP 10: KEEP IT ALL IN PERSPECTIVE
Don’t let the emotions and stress of selling keep you from enjoying the experience and growing through it. I encourage you to keep your balance, grow in the relationships you value, and find your true and lasting home along the way to selling your current house.
I care about you and what you’re feeling, and my most important role is to take care of you through the process.
“We can't say enough good things about Tim Coen. He not only took tons of time to help us understand the ins & outs of all the decisions we were making but went way above and beyond in helping us make sure our house was taken care of and in good shape because we were out of state. You won't find anyone more trustworthy, honest, and eager to help than Tim - he's in a class by himself in realty!!”
LET’S GET STARTED TODAY!
The first step toward finding and securing your new home is to EXPLORE MORE ABOUT HOME SELLING!
“When we contacted Tim about selling our home, we wanted to make sure we were comfortable with our agent/broker. He was very knowledgeable, caring, and down to earth with us. My husband and I agreed that Tim was the right one for us. We were selling in a tough market, but when we got discouraged, Tim would remind me how I could change things to influence the outcome. I don't know how he put up with us but he did and sold our house in just a few days. Tim is not only our broker but also a friend. You couldn't ask for a more professional real estate broker/agent who is truly honest and down to earth. We have recommended him to several people. He is truly one of a kind.”
