The kids are out of school, the water temps are perfecto, the aroma of coconut sun screen permeates the air and many smart folks are looking to purchase some Lake Keowee real estate during the height of the selling season. Don’t get me wrong this purchasing thing happens to greater or lesser degrees all year long (and by all sorts of people!). Just pointing out that more folks typically buy between now and the mid-July.

What does the height of the season mean to you as a seller? Make sure your home or property looks as good as possible and that it is priced right in comparison to similar properties. Bottom line is if there is one buyer and two choices they will usually only buy one. Let’s make sure it’s yours and the best way to do that is to list it with Top Guns!

How is business during the height of the season? Another busy week as we take advantage of the aforementioned, the plethora of buyers in the market. We’ll be out, weather permitting, taking pictures and shooting videos over the next couple of days to bring some more really cool properties to the market by the end of the week. As I sit writing this blog and looking out the window I see indications of no videos today – fortunately things can change quickly around Lake Keowee in the summer.

As for buyers, we’ve had several folks looking at our listings and two really good prospects for homes over the weekend. Now we’ve got to bring it all together and keep the Lake Keowee real estate market humming right along!

29 Essential Tips That Get Homes Sold Fast (And For Top Dollar)

Can you believe we are already on Tip #8? Give yourself room to negotiate.

Make sure you leave yourself enough room in which to bargain. If what you ask for is unacceptable to the buyer, and their first offer is unacceptable to you, then you better make sure you have someplace to go that is acceptable to you.

Start with the absolute minimum price you would accept, then pick the price you’d get if the world were perfect. This gives you your range to keep in mind when working with your Realtor to negotiate the sale.

In setting your asking price, review your priorities. Do you want to maximize your profit or sell quickly? You’ll price high for the former and closer to market value if the latter is the case. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
