Selling your Coronado House

Go ahead Coronado Real Estate buyers and sellers, don't be shy. This year is the perfect time to make a Coronado housing move. If you are planning on buying or selling one of Coronado's homes or condos, you should get to know these eight strategies of savvy Coronado Real Estate investors, and live by them. It's that simple.

These strategies apply to all Coronado houses and condos, even the great deals that can be found on Coronado golf course properties and waterfront properties. Regardless of the market condition at the time of purchase, the rules of making a smart  Real Estate deal will never change. Here are eight Real Estate strategies for buyers and sellers who want to make a Coronado housing move in '08.

8 strategies for savvy sellers

1. Understand what "market value" means. It's not what your friend sold his house for two years ago or even two months ago. It's not the value your latest tax assessment was based on or what an appraiser said the house was worth a year ago. It is exactly what someone is willing to pay for your house today. Hence, price realistically and broaden incentives, such as closing costs and throw-ins like appliances, flat-screen televisions, etc. There is an old saying: "There's nothing wrong with a home that the right price can't fix."

2. Don't be an as-is seller. That is, unless you absolutely have to be one. Potential homebuyers aren't looking for fixer-uppers in the current market unless they are rock-bottom, bargain-basement priced. Large volumes of foreclosed homes are already being sold in poor condition at auction.

With so much information readily available online, clients sometimes ask me, "Why should we hire a real estate agent to buy Coronado homes and bayfront condos?" They wonder, and rightfully so, if they couldn't buy or sell Coronado homes and bayfront condos through the Internet or through regular marketing and advertising channels without representation, without a  real estate agent. Some do OK, many don't.

So if you've wondered the same thing, here are 10 reasons why you might want to consider hiring a professional Coronado real estate agent to assist you in purchasing Coronado homes and bayfront condos. 

1. Education & Experience

You don't need to know everything about buying and selling real estate if you hire a real estate professional who does. Henry Ford once said that when you hire people who are smarter than you are, it proves you are smarter than they are. The trick is to find the right person. For the most part, they all cost about the same. Why not hire a person with more education and experience than you? We're all looking for more precious time in our lives, and hiring pros gives us that time.

2. Agents are Buffers

Agents take the spam out of your Coronado property showings and visits. If you're a buyer of new homes, your agent will whip out her sword and keep the builder's agents at bay, preventing them from biting or nipping at your heels. If you're a seller, your agent will filter all those phone calls that lead to nowhere from lookie loos and try to induce serious buyers to immediately write an offer.
