Please feel free to contact James Upton to coordinate an initial meeting where he may visit your property and learn about your real estate goals. During this initial meeting, James will be able to outline what it means to work with a REALTOR, tour the property, make extensive notes, take various measurements and photographs so that he may not only establish the fair market value of the home but generate an exclusive marketing proposal which will effectively target the best prospect groups in order to create the most broad level of exposure possible. As James learns about the history, architect and or developer of the property as well as various amenities and key features, James will be able to propose the absolute best ways in which to prepare the home for market as well as discuss potential staging options, pre-inspections and or pre-appraisals so that his select clients may command the top re-sale value for their property.

 

 

James Upton would never want to do his clients the disservice of taking pricing of a select property lightly given that every property is special, and unique, and pricing a property properly is extremely important. With this in mind, James feels it is absolutely critical to carefully review all relevant active property listings, property sales, expired listings and other market statistics. This will enable James to fully evaluate other homes with which his clients property may be competing, prior to returning to meet with the owner(s) so that they may discuss the recommeneded marketing price of the property in detail.

James Upton will price his clients property effectively and competitively to attract qualified buyers. One of the ways in which he is able to do this is by generating a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) specifically for his clients property which will outline relevant properties in your specific region and price band. James will also take this information, and other market data, and create additional charts and graphs which will clearly outline the current state of the market as well as other extremely pertinent information including, but not limited to, the "Average Days on Market", "Sold to Current Listings" and the "Number of Real Buyer's". With this extensive and in-depth market analysis, James will coordinate a marketing consultation, at your convenience, so that you he may explain all of the outlined information and answer any inquiries that you may have prior to discussing and determining the exact list price to best suit your individual real estate goals.
