Thinking of selling your home in Renton? What I can offer you.

I have done some research on the selling prices of homes in the east Renton neighborhood near Renton Technical College. The prices of house that have sold in the last 30 days range from $190k to 253k. The homes that are ready condition and require little work receive on the average a higher price than ones that are either bank owned or where owners have not prepared them to sell.

A house which is not completely ready for someone to move into, such as one needing yard work and minor repairs is in the middle of the range. Houses at the low end of the range are vacant and bank owned properties. Properties at the high end of the range are vacant remodeled homes.


You may ask why you should list your home now. There are advantages of listing your home and having it on the market place for a reasonable time. It allows a wider market place to review your home, compare with others, and for the future owners to make a decision. There are a lot of people who are sitting on the fence right now, waiting for the perfect home. The end of the year is approaching and people are trying to close a home to receive the credit for first time homeowners. .

If you chose to list with me, this is what I will do for you.

• I will list the home on the Northwest Multiple Listing Services, which allows the greatest exposure of your home.
• I will also list the home with pictures on Zillow with at least 10 pictures of your house, and purchase a banner advertisement. I am currently listed as a “Zillow All Star”, for my participation and listing on Zillow.
• I will list on and Trulia, an internet real estate web sites, and will purchase a banner advertisement.
• I will write about your home on Facebook, and Twitter, both internet social networking groups.
• I will write about your home on my real estate blog.
• I will put a weekly ad on Craigslist that targets first time home owners.
• I will hold one open house on either a Saturday or Sunday, which will be advertized via craigslist ad, and on the multiple listing site. I will install a sign in front.
• I promise to review all offers with you within 24 hours of receiving them.
• I will have a Northwest Multiple Key Box installed on your house along with instructions of how other agents can contact you for a showing.

For this service I will list your property for a 5% sales commission. 3% would go to the selling agent, and 2% is shared between my office and I.

In terms of pricing I suggest that we start at the highest end of the range. Depending upon amount of showings and general interest, I would suggest lowering the price until there is interest, at which point we try different ways to market the property. After twelve weeks on the multiple listing and with price drops and advertising, your house should sell.


If you have any questions please call. I look forward to helping on the sale of your home. .

Sincerely


Daniel Bretzke
