When a homeowner wants to sell their Tahoe Keys real estate, they typically have 3 main goals: Sell the house (obviously), get the most money possible and do it in a short amount of time with the least amount of issues. In order to succeed at selling Tahoe Keys real estate, the importance of a Tahoe Keys Realtor should not be overlooked.

Technology has changed how society does everything. You no longer have to go into a store front to rent movies, you can order groceries and either pick them up at the store or have them delivered, you can order a cab from the comfort of your home and so much more. It also has changed the way we research and find information. With 92% of all buyers using the internet to buy a home for sale in Tahoe Keys, it is very obvious that technology has impacted the way consumers do business. While sometimes it is worth skipping the middle man and going some things alone, Tahoe Keys real estate is not one of those categories.

Why is that? Well for one, selling your home for the most money possible in the shortest amount of time requires real time market knowledge which means pricing your home for the current market conditions. When relying on AVM’s (Realtor.com & Zillow’s suggestions for what your home is worth) for market information, you are missing pertinent details that a website will not know about your home. When you price incorrectly, you miss out on solid buyers, your home sits and you lose money in the long run. Next is the paperwork, and the negotiations that go along with it. There is a lot of paperwork that comes with listing a Tahoe Keys home for sale. California real estate, especially in Lake Tahoe where we have so many government agencies, can be complicated. Missing one form or relying on the internet to tell you how to do the paperwork could be an absolute disaster. One that could cost you a lot of money. Why some people are still doing For Sale By Owner is a costly mystery.

Luckily, stats show that 95% of buyers who searched for a home on the internet, purchased said home using a Tahoe Keys realtor. Only 2% bought directly from the seller. 53% of buyers depended on an agent to find the actual home they purchased, 48% of buyers felt they needed a Tahoe Keys real estate agent to negotiate the price and the terms of the deal while 60% simply felt they needed a qualified Tahoe Keys real estate agent to help them understand the process. These buyers understood the need for a Realtor who can “connect the dots” for them. If you are thinking of selling your Tahoe Keys home, give me a call at 530-308-4331.
