Austin Real Estate 
Sell Your Home
In today's challenging market, selling an Austin Home can be a challenging process. More homes Expire and fail to sell than actually sell in Austin.
Worse, as a measure of how badly the average Austin Real Estate Agent is at pricing, hundreds of listing reduce their price every week in the Austin Area and the average agent is getting just 92% of the original list price for their clients.
When it comes time to sell your Austin area home, condo, duplex or lot, naturally you are looking to achieve the following goals:
In order to achieve these goals, there are several critical elements that you must start off with right from the start of the home selling process; experienced agents with a proven, repeatable process, proper pricing, proper preparation of the home, an aggressive marketing plan that will expose your home to the most buyers and make your home stand out from all of the other competing Austin area properties. In short you need The Goldwasser Advantage Selling System.
The ultimate value that you are able to achieve for your home is relative to a couple of key items including your properties condition, market trends - both for the entire Austin Metro area, as well as your particular neighborhood and price range, current competition, most recent sales comparables and finally annual market seasonal trends. Only armed with all of these key data elements will you be able to establish an appropriate price.
The challenging real estate market makes hiring an experienced top Austin real estate professional who can provide expert guidance with a proven marketing strategy an absolute necessity.
Hiring the right top Austin real estate agent will save you time and money - and more than likely mean the difference between selling or not selling.
Why do so many sellers seemingly make poor decisions when hiring agents? Well, the National Association of Realtors collects data under its annual NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. In 2009, the Profile suggested the following methods as how Sellers selected the real estate agent used:
| Friend Neighbor or Relative Recommendation | 40% |
| Used Same Agent as Previous (buyer agent and not listing agent?) | 24% |
| Referred through employer or work (relocation) | 5% |
| Visited an Open House | 5% |
| Personal Contact from Agent (Phone, Email, Mail) | 5% |
| Referred by another agent | 4% |
| Saw Contact Info on For Sale By Owner Sign | 3% |
| Direct Mail | 3% |
| Internet Website | 3% |
| Walked Into Real Estate Office / Called Agent on Floor Duty | 3% |
| Newspaper, Yellow pages, or home book ad | 2% |
| Advertising specialty (calendar, magnet, etc.) | 1% |
| Other | 5% |
The second statistic that is relevant is the fact that 64% of sellers interviewed only 1 (One) real estate agent before listing their home. 20% only interviewed two. Given the fact that more than 80% of the Austin Association of Realtors members are struggling to sell any homes in Austin - less than 1 per month and 25% sold none (zero) in 2009, the average seller does little or no home seller due diligence in picking the 'right' agent for the job of selling their Austin home. With these odds and the actual % chosen by referral over 50% by most accounts in Austin (vs 40% nationally) its no wonder that Austin Home Sellers struggle to sell their homes on average.
The bottom line: For an Austin home seller - just taking a referral from a friend or using a buyer agent from when they purchased their home - generally will result in very poor results - even an expired listing - unless they do their homework and ask great questions about the agents performance, marketing plan and track record.
