• WHY USE MY ARIZONA HOME TEAM?
Selling your home is one of the most important financial decisions you will make in your lifetime. Don't take risks. Selling your home is not like selling a car...every home is different and every buyer wants to offer you as little as possible.
According to the 2006 National Association of REALTORS:
85% of homebuyers used a real estate agent during their home search
75% of buyers viewed the Internet as a useful tool in their home search
75% of buyers used a real estate agent to purchase their home
Your potential pool of buyers is increased dramatically by using an agent, more specifically My Arizona Home Team, to sell your home.
So why use My Arizona Home Team in the sale of your home over the other 95, 000 licensed agents in AZ? We have over 50 years combined experience in representing both buyers and sellers. In AZ, one can get a real estate license and be representing you in the largest investment of your lifetime in less than 10 days! Do you really want an inexperienced agent advising you on this major investment? Back to the Top
• MARKETING YOUR HOME/ADVERTISING
Rather than installing a typical white realtor post and sign in for our listings, My Arizona Home Team has had a post and sign designed to attract more attention to our listings. Not only are our posts and signs unique, My Arizona Home Team develops a custom, professionally designed website for each property we list with detailed descriptions and pictures that is accessible to anyone utilizing the Internet. The web address is posted on a custom rider attached to your sign. For example, www.HouseonYourStreet.com.
We also use a toll free telephone number with a 24-hour recorded message on each sign detailing the features of your home. With an outside flyer box, neighbors and passersby take a flyer, get the information that they want and then they drive away. With the toll free telephone number, when the potential buyer calls for information, the call is captured and gives an agent with My Arizona Home Team the opportunity to speak with that potential buyer directly to ensure that all of the information about the property is being given and that that buyer can get answers to any questions that they may have.
We provide custom, high-quality flyers for inside the home so that when your home is shown, the buyer has an opportunity to take the flyer and information with them.
Because many buyers are moving to AZ from out of state and, in many cases, out of country, we are able to market qualifying listings internationally through a website developed for Keller Williams agents. Castlesandestates.com receives over 360,000 hits a month and is designed to My Arizona Home Team to market your home to potential buyers all over the world.
A toll free telephone number is included all of our advertising, including our personal website, MSN.com, excite.com, realtor.com, aol.com, moving.com, azcentral.com, and the KWLS.com websites.
We send monthly email and print newsletters that drive potential buyers to our sites. Here, they can click on our featured properties and view the homes that we currently have listed as well as a wealth of great information on real estate and community.
All agents in our office, (over 250), are notified via email as soon as your listing goes on the market.
Since you pay no up front costs for our services, we will work hard to get your home sold in the shortest period of time for the best price possible. Back to the Top
• HOW CAN CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE HELP SELL YOUR HOME?
Every resale home was once a new build. With over 50 years experience in many facets of the real estate industry My Arizona Home Team has an incredible advantage over most agents in the business. Knowing the options and their costs in a new home gives us the necessary knowledge to properly evaluate your home so that you receive the greatest return from your investment. This is a benefit to you, not only when selling, but also when negotiating offers from other agents. Back to the Top
• IMPORTANCE OF STAGING
At My Arizona Home Team, we preview and show hundreds of homes every month. It is quite apparent why many of these homes are on the market for well over 200 days. Simply put, they are not marketed or staged properly. Part of our responsibility in representing you, the seller, is ensuring your home is the best that it can be for that prospective buyer. How one lives in their home and how one sells their home are often at opposite ends of the spectrum. We will advise you on what you can do to make your home most appealing to a buyer. Buyers don't want to see your "stuff"; they want to imagine themselves living in your house. By following our advice, you can be confident that your home will show as well as possible to any buyer that comes through your door. Back to the Top
• WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SELL?
Now! There is no right or wrong time, better or worse time to sell. What is going on in the market is of no consequence. What really matters is your goal and what you are trying to accomplish in the sale of your home. At My Arizona Home Team, our only goal is helping you achieve your goal. We will be totally honest with you in helping you evaluate your goal and if it is realistic and achievable. Back to the Top
• PRICING CONCERNS AND STRATEGIES
A house attracts the most interest and potential buyers in the first 30 days it is listed. After the first 30 days, statistics verify that showing activity drops by approximately 75%. It is important that your home be priced competitively from the beginning. A house that has been on the market for an extended period of time sends a "warning" to prospective buyers that there may be issues with the house, which drives them away. Back to the Top

• COMMON SELLER MISTAKES
Not pricing the house competitively from the beginning.
Not staging the home properly.
Not having the home in top condition when the home goes on the market.
Not making arrangements for pets ahead of time. Back to the Top
• CRITICAL DATES
The Arizona purchase contract has over 20 critical dates that must be met by all parties to the contract. Missing one of the dates could jeopardize the transaction and potentially create costly legal issues for the buyer or seller. Our full-time, licensed transaction manager monitors these dates daily to ensure that our clients are always in compliance with the terms of the contract and never in default. Back to the Top
