Chicago Real Estate Perspective

Dave Nimick: What Sells Homes and What Doesn't

Episode Summary

In this episode, Dave discusses: What sells homes online and in person. How your real estate agent (or their team) presents themselves. Arguments for and against listing agents being at a showing. Staging and the instant impressions that it gives to buyers. What to look for in an agent. Key Takeaways: It takes 7-10 seconds online for people to decide if the home is worth going to see it in person. Agents advertise themselves in magazines and on social media. They do this to brand themselves, not the home they’re supposedly advertising. An agent’s value comes in where they can interpret the market, and then effectively communicate it to their clients. If you’re the buyer and the listing agent is there, you do not want to divulge what you do like about the property, as it will end up costing you money. The MLS is the single most important way to get exposure to the home. "If the home is staged well, it's in good condition, and it's priced well for the current market … quick, positive responses are very likely forthcoming." —  Dave Nimick Connect with Dave Nimick: Website: https://thenimickteam.com/ Email: dave@thenimickteam.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4WqeMs62CL3T5P-w6ncqbQ/videos LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davenimick/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenimickteam Dave Nimick is owner of The Nimick Team, Inc. with Keller Williams Realty Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
