In order to get the highest price in the shortest time, you need to know how to market your home. The better you market your home, the more offers you will get. And the more offers you get, the more choices you have to get the price and terms you want.
The most important factor of marketing your home is pricing it right. Your price should be adjusted to reflect the market, and the property's worth. The key is to get many people checking out your property at a fair price instead of having no buyers because your price is set too high.
Another important factor is the condition of your home. Make sure that your home looks ready to be sold. Fix any defects (peeling or faded paint, cracks, stains, etc.) Condition alone can sometimes prompt fast buying decisions. Not only should you fix any defects, but consider upgrading your home by making major repairs and cosmetic improvements before selling. A nice looking home triggers the emotional response that can lead to a financial response.
Learn how to negotiate the best terms for all parties involved. Terms are another factor which may be adjusted to attract buyers. If you insist on getting your asking price, think of what you can offer to the buyers, for example, improvements you've made, or even offering seller financing at a lower than market interest rate on a portion of the sale price. Convince them why they should be paying the price you have set.
Lastly, get the buzz out about your home. List your house with a hot agent that ensures your house is listed on the MLS and on the Internet. On your own, get the word out. It should be visible to passerby’s that your house if for sale, whether it be signs, local advertisements or you telling friends, family, and acquaintances.

Are you aware of our company's “Give Back” program?
The way that the program works is….... at closing our clients name a charity (any charity of their choice.) We then send a $25 donation to that charity in the name of our client. This is one way that we can personally thank our clients and give back to the community. Charities that have benefited from this program in the past year include:
- Tulsa SPCA
- The Little Lighthouse
- Broken Arrow Neighbors – Assistance with Dignity
- Hope Harbor (at risk youths)
- Make-a-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma
- CAN (Child Abuse Network)
- DVIS
- Family and Children’s Services
- Wounded Warrior Project
- Community Food Bank
- Tulsa Zoo
During times of economic struggle charities need help more than ever. As an active member of our community, we are proud to be able to help!

In today’s uncertain economy, we are seeing more and more distressed property owners. At least 10% of all homes across the country are either in foreclosure or in pre-foreclosure (behind in payments) per the Certified Distressed Property Institute. This drastic change in our economy and banking system is creating a very interesting Tulsa real estate market. Most Tulsa home owners in this situation don’t know what options they have and believe they will either have to file bankruptcy or get foreclosed on, and lose their Tulsa home.
There is a third option though and is it called a short sale. The short sale is a tool to sell the property for the Tulsa home owner that might be experiencing a period of financial instability, be behind on payments and owes too much on the property to sell for a profit in today’s market. If you or someone you know is in this situation, the first thing to do is to find an educated Tulsa realtor that is a certified distressed property expert. They will be able get your Tulsa home or Broken Arrow home listed, and package all the appropriate forms needed by the lender to stop the foreclosure process and work on getting the lender to accept a contract on the Tulsa home that is even less than what is owed. If the Tulsa home or Broken Arrow home is sold for less than what is owed, the goal is to get the bank to wave the difference owed with the seller owing no money at closing and have a settled account, not a foreclosure on the sellers credit record.
If you know of anyone in this situation, please have them call me. I am a Certified Distressed Property Expert and handle situations like this daily and keep many of our clients out of foreclosure.

Tulsa Real Estate Update- I’m getting a lot of questions about what’s happening in the market and wanted to give a brief overview of what I’m seeing out there. Currently, our pool of Tulsa home buyers is much smaller than it has been in the past and our listing inventory is fairly high. Five years ago, we had about 4000 homes on the market and this last winter we topped 8000. It’s the old law of supply and demand and we are in a strong buyers market which means the Tulsa home buyers have more choices and this will tend to put a little downward pressure on prices. I still believe we not in a terrible selling market, just different and changing monthly. Everything is relative though and we are so much better off than the rest of the country. As far as the buyer market goes, I’ve never seen a better buyers market in my 17 years in the business.
So, is it a good time to put your Tulsa home on the market? I still think the answer is yes if you need to move. This isn’t the market where you will make a million dollars on your Tulsa home sale, but you won’t need to give it away either. Our average market time is still only 28 days on the market for everything we are selling and our list to sales price ratio is right at 98%. If you do the right things, which are marketing aggressively, staging aggressively and pricing competitively, then you will still sell and sell quickly. Call me if you have any questions, we would love to help you in selling your Tulsa homes, Broken Arrow homes, Bixby homes, Owasso homes and Skiatook homes.
