Getting The Highest & Best Price

SETTING PRICE POINT

So you have decided to put your property up for sale, now it is time to meet with your favorite realtor. Be very carful when setting the price point, be realistic in what you expect to get at end of closing. Be very careful examining the comparable properties in your neighborhood. Investigate the type of repairs made; consider closing costs by using a net sheet, etc. Your realtor should never over-quote what the real market price is just to get the listing, because he will never be able to sell your property for more than the offer received by the highest bidder.
Work out a schedule with your realtor in advance as to when you’d like to go over how your listing is performing compared to the competition including unique visitors and open houses. Reports should be provided to sellers on a regular basis and reviewed to adjust price point if needed.

The Best Place To Visit In San Francisco

Fisherman’s Wharf accessible from downtown San Francisco is a must see area of the City. Getting there you can take busses 9X, 47Van Ness and the world famous Cable Cars. On the way to the wharf some of the cable cars will travel pass the crooked street, also known as Lombard Street to the locals. Bring your camera because you’ll need it to take some great pictures.
Fisherman’s Wharf is a fun place for young and old. There is something for everyone.
For the children there are many activities offered, such as watching the sea lions take a sun bath and a magic show at Pier 39. They can also ride a carousel.
World famous for its crab restaurants, the crab boats dock at the kitchen entrance of the restaurants. Eat only the freshest crab at some of the best restaurants in the country at the wharf. Boudin’s Bakery is still using the same ‘starter’ in its sourdough breads as they used when first opened in 1849. The bakery has a large plate glass window with microphone so you can ask questions of the baker as they roll out their bread dough. Ask for the alligator or turtle shaped bread for the kiddies. I personally recommend the clam chowder in sour dough bread bowl if you plan to eat there.
Some of the other activities at the wharf include, bicycle rental for rides across the Golden Gate Bridge, ferry rides to Marin County, Angel Island, Alcatraz and Marin World at Vallejo.

What's A BPO

To determine the probable selling price of a property, a realtor will perform a BPO. The selling prices of similar, distressed and bank owned properties are compared. A radius of 1/4 miles is typical, its not unusual to go even farther out to find a comparable property. Once the comparable is found an appropriate sales price can be set. You sellers should keep this in mind in your conversation with his or her realtor, for only then can a realistic price be set. Only than can you expect to have his property sold in a reasonable amount of time. Time and money will be saved and the highest and best price will be achieved.
