Sell Your Home
At SKY Sotheby's International Realty we don't just put your property on the multiple listing service (MLS) and hope it sells. Our goal is to provide you with stellar service, maximum exposure and a rewarding experience in the sale of your home. We have devised a proven formula to get your home sold for top dollar.
Staging
We have a staging company that we can consult with to put your property in its best light. Staging your home correctly can be the difference between a sale and languishing on the market for a long time. Preparing your home before it goes on the market is important for you to get top dollar. Our staging consultation is free of charge to you.
Professional Photography
All properties listed get the benefit of professionally taken photographs and virtual tours. When you are competing against so many other properties it is important to have stunning photographs to get the potential buyers into your home.
Effective Pricing
The cornerstone of every successful property sale is an effective price. To find the right asking price we do a thorough analysis of your home, the homes you are competing against in the marketplace as well as what has recently sold. We can also bring in a 3rd party, objective professional appraiser to give you an opinion of value.
Web Marketing
Just like you viewing this website, buyers around the world are searching the web for their next home. Roughly 85 percent of home buyers use the Internet to search for property and that number continues to increase. The internet is an essential part of our marketing strategy. To maximize your exposure online we feature your home on several highly visited websites.
Just a few of the websites that your home will be listed on include:
www.LuxurySarasotaRealEstate.com
www.TheSarasotaMLS.com
www.sothebysrealty.com
www.trulia.com
www.realtor.com
www.newyorktimes.com
www.sarasotaherald.com
Realtor Exposure
More than 90 percent of real estate transactions include both a Selling Agent (representing the buyer) and a Listing Agent (representing the seller). Much of our marketing efforts are directed towards Realtors in Sarasota and Manatee county. We will list your property in the Sarasota multiple listing service (MLS) and if appropriate the Manatee multiple listing service for full exposure to more than 7,000 real estate professionals. We also periodically send brochures with photographs and details of your your property via email.
Brochures and Direct Mail
We produce a impressive high quality glossy property brochure highlighting all of your home's features to be given to potential buyers. We will also produce an equally impressive direct mail piece to send to your immediate area to let the world know that your home is for sale.
Yard Signs
If allowed a yard sign will be placed in front of your home. Because they have already qualified the location and neighborhood some of the best potential buyers come from the yard sign.
Print Advertising
Your home may be placed in The Wall Street Journal, The Observer Newspapers, Robb Report Vacation Homes Magazine, Sothebys Preview Magazine as well as several other publications.
Constant Communication
This is a very important part of the process. I make the commitment to contact you weekly either by telephone or email to discuss our progress, price adjustments needed, feedback on showings and any advertising done.
