TOP 10 Reasons Why I get to price your Tulsa home for sale instead of you, Mr. Seller
1. I get to price your Tulsa home for sale Mr. Seller, because I’m a Realtor and you’re not. Yes, I know you think your home is worth what you paid for it + improvements you made + time, but that RARELY = optimum list price.
2. I sell homes 365 days a year, and this is the third home you’ve sold. I’ve sold homes in good years, bad years and everything in between. You can’t possibly understand our Tulsa real estate market as well as I do.
3. I don’t earn a dime until your home sells. The only way I can recoup my time and advertising dollars is WHEN your home sells, so nobody has more interest in selling your home than me.
4. I want your referral after we sell your Tulsa home. Referrals are how I build my business and put beans on the table, so I want you to tell your friends what an awesome Realtor I am. Let me do my job, and that’s how it will work out.
5. You want to pad your sales price to allow room for negotiating, Buyer’s closing costs and just in case someone is stupid enough to over-pay for your home. That doesn’t work, and I know that, because I’m a Realtor and you’re not. Please re-read number 1.

6. Your overpriced home will only help sell your neighbor’s home that’s priced correctly. Your overpriced home will only help sell your neighbor’s home that’s priced correctly. Yes, I intentionally repeated that statement.
7. Inventory is increasing and the buyer pool is decreasing. No amount of internet advertising is going to change that fact.
8. The worst advertising for me is having my “for sale sign” in your yard without a “sale pending” rider on it. I don’t want to be the Realtor who puts signs in people’s yards – I want to be the Realtor who SELLS homes. Putting a sign in your yard does not put beans on the table. Please re-read number 4.
9. You are more likely to get the price you want and deserve if you price it correctly from day one. Buyers are more educated today, and the first question they ask is “how many days has this Tulsa home been on the market?” The larger that number, the less they will offer.
10. Your home is worth only what the market is willing to pay and the amount for which it will appraise. Remove your emotions and let’s look at the comparables.
It’s not my intention to sound mean. My team works really hard at selling each Tulsa home we list for top dollar in a short amount of time.
The winning strategy to selling your Tulsa home remains the same: (1) prepare your home to be in its best possible condition and remove every anticipated Buyer’s objection; (2) price your home correctly and competitively; and (3) market it aggressively. It’s a proven formula and one that should not be deviated from.
