Selling Your Smoky Mountain Real Estate with an Experienced Realtor

Real estate transactions have complexities including required disclosures, overseeing the entire closing process, negotiations, & security concerns.  Using a Realtor, due to these reasons and more, is just the wise thing to do when selling the most important investment in your life.  Selling your vacation rental home or house in the Smokies may be critical to your financial well-being.  This makes it all the more important to find an experienced Realtor that can speed up the sales process for you!

A professional Realtor has made their entire career out of buying, selling, and leasing Smoky Mountain Real Estate. Real estate consultants have the support team, experience, knowledge, and expertise to handle all the situations the sellers may be confronted with throughout the tedious sales process.  This process includes everything from finding the optimal list price to marketing to exposing your listing to potential buyers to negotiating and closing the deal with the sellers’ interests at heart.

Marketing

Getting the most exposure for your money is important to not only selling your home, but getting the highest price for your property here in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Wears Valley. Let a Realtor, who has exposure in the community and beyond, get the word out through print and electronic media, social networking, and word of mouth. They almost always have a larger sphere of influence and know what typical buyers look for in their search for their dream primary, secondary, or investment home here in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area. Usually they already have clients on the buyer side that are looking for a vacation cabin rental or mountain home here in the Smoky Mountains.

A Mighty Peaks Gatlinburg Real Estate agent will place your listing in the multiple listing service, where all agents in the Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville real estate market will see it, but that’s only the start. He or she will work with you to market your Smoky Mountain home, both to consumers and within the real estate community here in the Smokies. Marketing strategies may include flyers, online exposure, “Just Listed” notices and networking with other Realtors & Property Managers. Technologically-savvy Realtors also send out emails, E-blasts, and social media alerts to their databases to market and sell your property here in the Smoky Mountains.

Pricing

A Realtor will compare prices of recently sold homes in Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains. They will consider features unique to your Smoky Mountain home, and use all of his or her expertise in helping you arrive at the right price to get your home sold in a timely fashion. Most will provide a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis and free consultation about the sale of your home here in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. Realtors keep buyers and sellers realistic as to what market conditions really are here in the Smoky Mountains. Real estate agents view similar recently sold homes in your neighborhood or mountain resort.

Locating and Qualifying Buyers

Buyers are normally frightened by, and sometimes distrust, for-sale-by-owner properties. There have been polls that suggest that buyers just don’t want to deal directly with sellers. They don’t drive up and down streets looking for homes for sale anymore, so it makes it less likely they’ll see a FSBO sign in your yard anymore. Buyers use the internet and other marketing materials to find the homes that interest them prior to setting up an appointment for showing. And they don’t have easy access to home values, which Realtors can provide through a variety of in-depth software tools. Most buyers in our tourist area are from out of state. They definitely don’t have time to waste in searching for a property, and almost always consult with a Realtor prior to their trip to the Smokies. The client will ask the Smoky Mountain Realtor to find them something within their search criteria so they can view it, make an offer, get an agreement, and close on the property as soon as possible.

When you list with a Realtor, it increases the odds that the right buyer will discover your Smoky Mountain home. And a Realtor will make sure that anybody who goes through your home will be qualified to purchase it, and not just “casing” your home out for purposes other than buying it. Furthermore, a Realtor will manage the showing process, so you don’t have to. This might be beneficial for sellers with busy schedules, introverted personalities, and lack of professional real estate experience. Also, when selling a property without a Realtor, it puts a great deal of pressure and liability on the seller to disclose everything pertinent to the sale of the home. They can not misguide or misinform the buyer, and may be liable through state and federal laws. Most sellers own their homes in the Smokies as second homes or vacation properties, so they definitely need the assistance of a real estate agent specializing in vacation rental cabin sales.

Negotiating

Selling a home is very emotional, especially when there are both money and sentimentality involved. When buyers and sellers are working directly with each other, they’ll often nitpick and try to get the last word in on the pros and cons of a property. This could change an interested buyer to a disinterested one, in a hurry. It’s hard enough to bring a buyer to the table, so you definitely don’t want to scare them away in any economic environment. A Realtor serves as a buffer between the buyer and seller and takes much of the emotion out of the process. Another thing: sellers who use a Realtor traditionally get a higher price than those who sell it themselves.

Managing the Transaction

It’s not just about selling the house here in the Smoky Mountains. It’s about knowing all the current regulations and staying on top of the details. Managing home sales is a tough journey even for a seasoned professional, let alone an inexperienced owner. Realtors with Mighty Peaks Gatlinburg Real Estate have relationships that will help you with the most challenging situations that pop up during the sales process. It is absolutely vital to have an experienced, professional real estate consultant during these times. Our Realtors know what it takes to sell a mountain cabin, chalet, as well as a residential home here in the Sevier County, Tennessee area.

Ask yourself these questions. Are you aware of legal requirements as to what you must disclose? Do you know what escrow is? What about earnest money? Do you know how to write a sales contract? Realtors know the answers to all these questions and know exactly what tasks to perform at what time to keep the transaction progressing efficiently. Call Mighty Peaks Gatlinburg Real Estate today for a consultation about listing & selling your property here in the Smoky Mountains.
