Real estate is moving fast in metro Atlanta. Homes are selling in record time, often on the first day listed. To navigate this fast-paced market, it’s more important than ever before to have an experienced, trusted listing agent on your side.
Getting the Right Price
Your listing agent will start with a current market analysis, using other homes in the area, your home’s unique features, and the latest market trends to determine what your home is worth. Because demand for homes has risen so quickly in 2021, it’s not uncommon to receive multiple offers far over asking price. But the baseline is still important. Setting an accurate starting point will determine how much money is in the seller’s pocket at closing.
