Frequently Asked Questions

How will you market my home?

Like all Realtors, we list your home on our Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that can be visible to every agent and the public, not only on MLS and Realtor.com but also websites and search engines including Amazon, Zillow, Trulia & Google plus many others. Because Sun Realty belongs to the IDX system, your home will be visible on literally thousands of agent and broker websites as well.

Marketing is one of the most important aspects of selling a home. As you see on our website, we market our listings separate from IDX listings because selling them is what we're hired to do. When we advertise your home on Internet websites or other places, it stands alone there too. We never advertise the "click here for the best deals in town" type of generic ad. Have you looked at Craigslist lately? Most of the ads there tell the story of why we NEVER post ads like that.

Virtual Tour.

Every listing includes a virtual tour of your property which is seen not only on our website but also MLS, Amazon, Trulia, Google and many other sites.

For Sale sign.

The old-fashioned yard "For Sale" sign and "Take One" flyer box has proven to be one of the best tools. For a peek at one of our signs, click here.

Open House.

Holding an open house attracts buyers also. Generally weekends are the best but here in Florida during "season" a mid-week open house can do well because of less competition.

Networking with Realtors.

We network with other Realtors on various social sites such as Face Book, LinkedIn, Trulia, RealHome, MyLionra and more. This is a great way to highlight our listings and let them know of open houses, amenities and other important information.

Pricing your home correctly.

Regardless of how your home is marketed, if it's priced too low it will sell very quickly, but when priced too high it may remain on the market for a long time with little or no action. We will not mislead you on price. It needs to be valued correctly in order to sell as well as marketed. Right now, in some categories, there is a shortage of homes available. Pool homes and waterfront are doing very well (April 2012) as are homes on large or double lots.

Each home is different regarding upgrades and other amenities. We will need to see your home to ensure we know everything about it and give you any tips on what to do to make it "Market Ready."

New Age of Buyers.

The internet has changed how buyers find a home. Many have already researched neighborhoods, prices, community amenitites and most likely know a lot about your home before ever seeing it in person. As with so many products, people can research, look at pictures and read reviews. Your home isn't much different, making it important that: a) your home is visible on the web and, b) a potential buyer can view as much information about it as possible. The third step, even more important, is access once they find your home. That is why we answer our phone every time it rings and we make ourselves available to show on a moments notice.

Today's Realtor must be Internet savvy and utilize as many avenues as possible. Do you like our website? Is it easy to navigate and have enough information? So you know, we built and maintain our website ourselves. We know the Internet very well. Choosing the right Realtor is as important as ever. We can discuss your needs anytime you're ready.
