The Most Important Trend Used to Sell Real Estate Is…

This trend is courtesy of Jim Fortin and John Alexandrov who presented their persuasion training for our real estate offices yesterday.

When you are looking to hire a real estate agent, you might want to ask them how well they have mastered persuasion techniques that will them get their home sold fast for the highest offer.

Most agents only use the traditional, old scripts that are not proven to work.

The owners and agents of at the Parsons Real Estate Team, however, are trained in the latest techniques that help get homes sold for more over 80% of the time!

Literally, less than 1% of agents have this training!

We invested our time and money in this valuable training because we know it will help you get your home sold faster and for more, or help you buy the home you want.

I’m sure you already realize how much a difference these techniques make in an agent’s ability to serve you.

When you decide you want to work with only the best real estate agents in Pasadena, call the Parsons Team at 626-204-302.

You’ll find yourself smiling when you know you’ve made the right decision!

All Real Estate Is Local!

You probably already realize, Pasadena is not like Memphis.

For this reason alone, it doesn’t matter what the national trends are if you are looking to buy or sell a home today.

If I tell you to “avoid looking at the national trends” you’ll probably run right to them to see why I’m saying that.

But why? How does that help you?

All real estate is local…all that matters are the trends in Pasadena, or your town.

Pasadena is and always will be a great place to live, which means it will always be a great place to buy a home. If you decide to leave for Memphis, that’s OK too.

You’ll just have to accept the fact that when you sell your home it’s going to be on Pasadena’s terms…not Memphis’ or anywhere else.

Speaking of local…did you see that Jayne Parsons was featured as one of the best local agents in Pasadena by Pasadena Magazine??

When you decide to buy or sell your home in Pasadena, why wouldn’t you use the best your local area has to offer?

Should You Consider Buying a “Distressed” Property?

I wonder if anyone has ever fully explained to you ALL the benefits of considering the purchase of a “distressed property”?

If you’re like most people (and like me) you don’t want a property that is “distressed.” Well, you’ll be thrilled to discover that many “distressed properties” are not distressed at all!

In fact, the term “distressed” only refers to the mortgage on the property, not the property itself.

Even better, these properties are often in great shape and in amazing locations. You can see why you should be more interested in one of these properties can you not?

The more you learn about these properties, the more interested in them you will be.

What Convinces a Buyer to Make an Offer?

As you’re reading this blog post, you’re going to want to rethink the way you buy or sell your next home.

If you’ve asked an agent what convinces a buyer to make and offer, most agents will tell you it’s price.

While pricing a home correctly is critical you may or may not know there are other factors that are just as important.

Imagine that you are going to an open house today. You know what the price of the home is and it’s in your range. The home has most of the features and amenities you desire.

You walk into the home and take a tour. For some reason you’re not thrilled. Why is that? The price is right, the features are right. How come you are not convinced to make an offer?

The Secret to Convincing a Buyer

The reason you probably didn’t want to make an offer was because the seller of the home (and the agent) did not do two very important things.

1. They did not “elevate your state” during the open house, meaning they didn’t create an aura about the house that made you feel better about being in that home.

2. They did not help you imagine living in that home as part of your improved future.

People buy new homes because they want to improve their life. Does your home, and your agent convince buyers that your home is the solution to their longing for a better life?

Price, state, and imagination. When you want your home and your agent to get these right you should think about calling the Parsons Real Estate team in Pasadena. Call 626.204.3302 to start convincing new buyers right away.

4 Simple Steps to More Offers on Your Home

If you’re like most people looking to sell your home, you want as many good offers as possible, as quickly as possible.

You’re going to love the advice below because it helps you get more offers and is a process that most real estate agents haven’t discovered.

4 Steps to More Offers

Until you hire a real estate agent who knows how to persuade potential buyers to make an offer, you won’t  get the quality and amount of offers you need.

You may or may not realize that there are specific techniques an agent can use to persuade a buyer to make an offer sooner rather than later. How?

First, the agent will discover what motivates the buyer (what they value).

Second, the agent will speak the language of the buyer and develop rapport with them.

Third, the agent will lead the buyer to your home if the buyer is qualified.

Fourth, the buyer will make an offer on your home.

You see, once an agent knows what a buyer values, and gains their trust, the buyer can be led to make an offer on your home.

The only question will be, do you want that buyer making an offer?

If you’re like most people in Pasadena, you’ll want them to be qualified and motivated. We can get them to you. All you have to do is say “accept” or “reject”.

Now, doesn’t that sound easy?

It’s just as easy to reach out and talk with us about getting you more offers today. Call 626-204-3302 if you need more offers for your home soon or visit out website for more information on what makes us the best real estate team in Pasadena.
