Serious times = Time to be blunt....

 

After learning some important market updates today, we feel it is important for Westchester home sellers to know that unless they are prepared to stay living in their home for several years, or take further losses, listing your home for sale this winter can be the smartest move you will make. Read more here.

Are you looking to sell or rent your Westchester NY home? Have you tried the FSBO (For Sale By Owner) route and have been wasting time with bargain hunters? Perhaps you had your home on the market that expired recently with a previous broker who never actually showed it themselves. Maybe this is the first time on the market and your looking to work with a company who does more than simply list it on craigslist. Will our team be a good match for your needs?

• If you are looking for the team with "something more" to offer, rather then "something less", you have found the right match. If you talk to our previous clients, you will find we go the extra mile for each and every one of our listings. We are known for featuring our listings in local magazine articles and well known real estate blogs.

• As you know from visiting this site, we also showcase our listings on our many blogs and sites that score top google ratings (perhaps you found this article the same way). We get thousands of visitors a day from all over the globe! Ask us to show you the stats- we would be happy to email them to you. We promote your home in many ways. While many are slowing down and doing less, this market requires the opposite. We are always vamping up our marketing efforts, staying on the cutting edge to get you the maximum exposure and talent. We often are asked by other agents "how do you do all that you do". We put our clients needs first. We take our job very seriously, but also enjoy our work. If you check out our blog, we post a lot about local events, news and other topics aside from real estate. We like to keep the news fresh and interesting.

• The way to sell your home in a tuff market and economy isn't to wish away your competition, as that is never possible in these markets where homes tend to sit longer. You can try to out market and out promote your home, which we certainly do a great job of, but the bottom line for a quick sale in the current market is a pricing and marketing strategy that meets your timeline. We will be upfront about what pricing point will sell your home, but ultimately we will let you decide once we have provided you with our opinion. While we differ from most by not being overly aggressive to work with, we are however aggressive in our strategies, and believe that sound and honest advice is what the clients appreciates most.

We specialize in homes located all over Westchester, and have systems in place for your specific Westchester location. Contact us today via email: RichardsonRealtyTeam@gmail.com or call 888-RRT-KWRE.
