I was referred to Dawna by a mutual friend when I started looking for my dream retirement beach house in Cayucos. Our journey together took three years with lots of looking and discussions to finally find me the perfect house. I can't thank Dawna and her amazing Executive Assistant Jodi for all of their patience, helpfulness and hard work on my quest to find the perfect home. Both Dawna and Jodi made me feel like they had all of the time in the world for me when I called with questions or concerns. Dawna is always cheerful and such a pleasure to work with. She is very responsive and extremely knowledgeable about the central coast. I highly recommend Davies Company Real Estate for all of your real estate needs. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dawna again and I did.... I used Dawna to sell my Paso Robles home after I purchased my new home. I once again found both Dawna and Jodi to be extremely professional and knowledgeable about the market. Dawna did a wonderful job of marketing my house and went above and beyond until it sold.
- Ask your agent for comparable sold property data, with tailored search criteria specific to your property. Also have the date range of market information be appropriate for your property type (ie shorter date range for properties types that sell frequently).
- Tour local properties that are priced in the range your property value. This should be a minimum of a drive-by viewing, virtual tours, and could be an interior viewing if conditions allow. This will give you insiight into how buyers will be comparing your property to others on the market.
- Observe staging, in all price ranges.See how properties are being shown and presented in your local market. This is often surprising, both in quality of photos and in lack of preparation.
- Don’t be reluctant to price a little low. It might be bid up, and you may make fewer concessions to a buyer than you will if you overprice initially.
- Trust your agent and listen to their advice with pricing. If you trusted them to help you sell a large asset like real estate, you can likely trust their experience with the real estate market.
