Selling Lake Tahoe & Truckee Real Estate


Are you looking for the best Lake Tahoe Realtor or Truckee Realtor to help you sell your property? Look no further, at the Pullen Realty Group we specialize in helping sellers obtain the maximum amount money for their property in the shortest time frame, with the least amount of hassle. To be a great Lake Tahoe Realtor or Truckee Realtor you have to have specialized knowledge of the local market, how hard you can push in any negotiation, and how best to market the property so that it receives maximum exposure. Get Ready to Sell. The first step is to get your property ready to sell and we can help you do it. We work with many local professionals that will help you cash out of your unwanted stuff, complete preliminary home inspections, clean up the inside, spruce up the exterior and really make it shine for the photo shoot. Great Photos. Some Lake Tahoe Realtor's aren't especially concerned with picture quality. That's not us! Great Photos are critical to marketing your property. We take the time to ensure that you have the best quality, optimized color photographs on all media including the MLS, print and website advertising. Internet Exposure. According to the National Association of Realtors, 80% of buyers last year used the internet as their primary search tool for property. Think about it. If you wanted to buy a property across the country in Key West could you pick up that town's local newspaper or local Real Estate Magazine from where you are now? No, but you can see property instantly by "googling" Key West Real Estate. The internet has made it incredibly easy for buyers to look at and compare property at any time of day or night. This is why we've invested thousands of dollars to create the leading website for Real Estate in our market. Our virtual tours tell the story of your property and bring out its most desirable features. And, because it is featured in an electronic medium it can be shared quickly via email by any viewer. Finally, we can track how many buyers have viewed your property, something that cannot be done with print advertising. Timing is Everything. There is no question that it is easier to sell property in the months of February through April as there are fewer properties on the market and there are plenty of buyers up in our area enjoying the winter ski conditions. After April, more properties start to come onto the market which creates more competition for your property. If you can swing it, selling in the early spring is the way to go. Proper Pricing. Pricing has the biggest impact on whether or your property will sell, which is why we spend a considerable amount of time analyzing sold and active comparables for your property. We don't do "quick over the phone" valuations because in our opinion, quality valuations take time. We won't give a valuation until we've been inside your property and also through its competitors. Our pricing recommendations take several factors into account including 1) Current Active Competitors 2) Recently Sold Comps and 3) Your Goals and Timeframe to Sell. While we pride ourselves in providing your property with the best presentation and exposure over the internet, these benefits will not "move the market" to sell an overpriced property. Beware the Overpricing Agent. One of the biggest problems in Real Estate is that some agents will tell you that your property is worth $50 or $100K more than it really is just to get you to sign with them. The end result is that your property loses credibility as soon as it hits the market which is the critical time when it receives the most exposure. With proper pricing, your property should receive weekly showings and should generate offers within the first month of the listing. Moving Services. Most people will agree that moving is the one of the worst, most stressful things that you have to do when buying or selling a property. Some firms offer vans or trucks with their picture on them so you can move out. We'd rather have you sit back and relax while you are professionally moved in or out of your property. (some limitations apply) If you sell and buy a property with us, we will pay for your entire move and we'll be on hand to organize the move. We know that you are busy, which is why we will step in to help. Turn Your Stuff into Cash. Another problem that confronts many property sellers is what to do with all the stuff that they have collected over the years. Most people are too busy to do a yard sale or post items on Ebay. The Pullen Realty Group has partnered with the Auction Guys who will sell your unwanted items for top dollar on a variety of auction sites. They will research pricing, organize the listing and sale, and take care of packaging and delivery. Selling these items takes some time though and so it is best to engage them at least 6 months prior to listing your property. Remember: An uncluttered property sells for more!!
