Cape Cod Real Estate, Listing a Home or Condo for Sale. Timing is everything so is the Agent.

Cape Cod, Ma real estate is starting to pick up and we are slowly seeing more and more homes and condos for sale come on the market. This is a good thing because the inventory on Cape Cod has been a bit on the lower side. If you are thinking about selling your home now is the time to find a Realtor (ideally myself) and start the listing process. 

Listing a property correctly and effeciently takes more time than you think. If your agent lists a property in a day with no photos and lack of description and a plan just to get it on the market quick, then they could actually cost you money in the long run . You have one shot to wow the potential buyers and most time agents out there. You need to come at them full guns blazing and do a strong marketing push right off the bat. Social media, pictures, open house, broker tour and print advertising to name a few.  It is all about the buzz and momentum. When the real estate buzz fades away then your properties value is going to start to diminish every day it is on the market. 

One of the most paramount items when listing your home for sale on Cape Cod are photos.  The internet is such a huge player in todays market that if you don't have quality photos of your home you could be missing out on a potential buyer. Buyers are looking at homes for sale on Cape Cod, Ma online before they even contact a realtor and have already made their mind up about certain homes. Also, videos and interactive floor plans are very helpful and the new age buyer are looking for those type of things. The more you can appeal to a broader the horizon the easier it will be to find a buyer.  I also know you hate those opportunistic open houses but have at least one! If you don't want a lot of random strangers coming into your home do a special one just for your neighbors. Word of mouth travels fast these days and on Cape Cod you would be surprised how many people are out looking for their sons, daughters, parents, friends, etc. There is a lot more than you think that goes into listing a home and finding the right broker is crucial.
