How to Sell an Arlington Virginia Condo in VA....

Real Estate Strategy, Truth vs. Bullcrap about Selling a Home!

How to Sell an Arlington VA Condo:

So what's the best way to sell a condo in Arlington Virginia real estate?  I think it's pretty simple to figure out.  Pretend you're going to buy a condo in Arlington VA.  Then make sure your condo is found when using the methods for searching for a home employed by buyers in the 21st century. 

Don't get stuck on the idea of photos of your home in the newspaper that make you feel so special, "Look, mom, that's my home in the Arlington Sun Gazette!  Aren't you proud of me, dad?  I'm important now everybody...."  

So who is looking in the Sun Gazette (insert your local community newspaper) to do their home searches?  Probably not the buyers.  But I'm sure other sellers are there looking at their pretty homes.  And the "high powered" listing agents are there making sure there are not typos in their ads that way they can get more calls for listing appointments so they can charge 6% to sell your Arlington condo. 

1.         Pretend you’re trying to find/buy a condo on the orange line  in Clarendon

2.         Google “Arlington Virginia Condos” to start searching of course….

·          Almost ALL buyers find & search for their homes on the internet...not the Sun Gazette newspaper (close to 90%), usually before calling a realtor

·          Real estate ads in the newspapers that “high powered” listing agents use cost $300-500 a pop...yet that’s not how buyers search for homes

·          5% or less of homes sold were from newspaper ads, so why do “listing” agents spend all of YOUR $$$$ on those ads?  The answer is so they can get your phone calls to list your property for 6%—waste of $$$. 

·          “Listing” agents sell homes in the 20th century...buyers find & purchase their homes in the 21st century.

·          Who actually sells the home?  The selling (buyer) agent!

·          Excellent selling agent with a high traffic website to market your home gets FAR more exposure for your condo than a pricey ads in the paper and no 6% fee

3.         Arrive at JustNewListings.com in slots #1 & 2 in google & others around 9-12 (my articles for  overpriced Arlington condos at realestatewebmasters).

4.    Put a video of your condo & clips of your neighbors saying why they like your condo on its homepage visited by 300+ unique visitors/day (mostly looking for condos in Arlington) in addition to the MLS and countless other methods I know using the internet and social marketing….TONS of exposure for less $$$$$$$
