Q What are the three P’s of real estate?
A Price, presentation – and patience! During the pandemic, inventory was low, pushing prices up. Today, there are more homes on the market, yet price expectations are still high, making a home’s presentation more critical than ever. Presentation is Trent & Co’s niche! In her former life, Mary was a buyer for Hecht’s, a job that required a keen eye for fashion, and Trent, with over 20 years of condo conversion experience, has a natural eye for home décor. With the help of the Compass Concierge renovation program, we use our combined talents to prepare properties to show like model homes, allowing them to sell at higher prices. Another benefit for sellers is that they can delay payment for these services until settlement! Whether it’s a simple countertop replacement or extensive renovation, we do it all – minimizing the work and stress for sellers.
With listings, the idea is to always get people in the door. When an asking price is too high the market will let you know with low – or no – traffic. The market will also let you know when a home is priced low. Just this week we wrote an offer on an underpriced home that had 12 offers! D.C. area buyers are savvy; if a home is worth more it will get more! The best strategy is to price smart. In today’s market we’re still seeing multiple offers when a home is priced and presented well.
