"I Want To Sell My Home But Where Would I Move To?"

This is a very common concern that I hear from a lot of would-be sellers, typically looking to move up to a larger home, but intimidated by market conditions.

This market has been challenging due to low inventory of homes and high competition from buyers. So while selling may seem ideal to get the most money you can for your home while values are high, the challenge is that you may end up not finding a suitable home to move to in a timely fashion.

The Solution? “Perfect Home Finder”

Rather than rely on selecting from limited inventory and competing in a high stakes bidding war for a home that doesn’t meet all of your needs, try my “Perfect Home Finder” service instead.

This service lets you move at your own pace to sell your existing home while also giving you exclusive non-competing access of homes that meet your ideal search criteria.

Imagine the increased chance of success when choosing from thousands of unlisted homes with no competition, rather than competing over a mere handful of MLS listings.

How Does It Work?

We delay listing your home until you’ve already found a home you are excited to buy. This is possible when you can find a home to purchase that isn’t already listed for sale, and therefore that seller isn’t under time pressure to sell.

Once you’ve come to an agreement with that seller, you can both set a relaxed and predictable timeline to proceed, which will give that seller enough time to find their new accommodations, and simultaneously give you enough time to find a buyer for your home.

All the normal protections you’d expect within your purchase contract are still available, including inspections, appraisal and confirmation of title. But the frantic pressure of having to hurry to see a home before another buyer snatches it up, or bidding tens of thousands of dollars over fair market value to secure your contract over other buyers, is eliminated.

Great! But How Do I Find The "Perfect Home" If It’s Not Listed?

The answer to that is simple... by having an agent that will use "old-school" marketing to find suitable off-market and unlisted properties matching your specific search criteria, rather than relying on other agents to list homes and hope the right one comes along.

This is how real estate used to work before technology made it almost instantaneous to let the world know your home is for sale. While there are benefits to leveraging the technology that enables this (the MLS) it creates a pressure cooker for buyers and sellers that can lead some to not even enter the market, due to the inherent uncertainty of the whole process.

Sounds Expensive, Who Pays For The Marketing?

I set aside a marketing budget of up to $2,000 per client for the purpose of identifying suitable pre-list or off-market properties.

Ultimately, searching for your "perfect home" is no different than my typical neighborhood-canvasing activities, such as "farming" specific neighborhoods with direct mail or targeted online campaigns.

The main difference is that with this campaign, you are the beneficiary because I only market for homes matching your specific criteria. This gives you a larger array of suitable homes to choose from than what has already been sifted through in the MLS while simultaneously providing the seller of the unlisted home a chance to sell directly to you without needing to list.

It's a Win-Win scenario, and its how real estate used to work before the ease of the MLS made agents get lazy when it came to finding homes for their buyers, to be honest.
