Selling Your Omaha Area Home

In today's challenging market, selling an Omaha Area Home can be a treacherous process.  Approximately 50% of listings in the Omaha MLS Expire after not selling. 

Worse, as a measure of how poorly the average Omaha Area Real Estate Agent is at pricing, more than 300 listings on average reduce their price EVERY WEEK in the Omaha Area alone.  The market average for an active listing is close to 2.3 price reductions for every listing before it either sells or expires. 

When it comes time to sell your Omaha area home condo or villa, naturally you are looking to achieve the following goals:

      > the best possible price and terms
      > the quickest sale possible
      > the least amount of hassles and inconvenience

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; proper pricing, presentation and a written, proven, aggressive listing marketing plan that will make your home stand out from all of other competing Omaha area properties.

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 Omaha Metro area, as well as your particular submarket and price range, current active listing competition and 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 Omaha area real estate professional who can provide expert guidance with a proven marketing strategy an absolute necessity. 

Hiring the right top Omaha area 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 2010, the Profile suggested the following methods as how Sellers selected the real estate agent used:  

Exhibit 7-1 METHOD USED TO FIND REAL ESTATE AGENT
(Percentage Distribution) 

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 Omaha Association of Realtors members are struggling to sell any homes in the Omaha and surrounding areas - less than 1 per month and 25% sold none (zero) in 2011, the average seller does little or no home seller due diligence in picking the 'right' agent for the job of selling their Omaha home.  With these odds and the actual % chosen by referral over 50% by most accounts in Omaha(vs 40% nationally) its no wonder that Omaha Home Sellers struggle to sell their homes on average.

The bottom line:  For an Omaha 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.
