Protect your Grand Parents' Retirement Money

I’m writing this because I see this happening a lot. When it’s time for your grandparents to downsize and find the right home in their retirement years, saving 10-15-20k can make a big difference, especially with the inflation rates right now.?But does their realtor have your grandparents’ best interests at heart?
In real estate, you deal with realtors who you know most of the time. Your grandparents may be using an agent they used many years ago who may not be updated with current trends. Real estate has changed, and getting max dollar for your house is very different. The amount of listings I see with super dark and terrible photos, no social media, and no marketing is crazy. In this market, those things will turn potential buyers away from a home, resulting in the home staying on the market longer or even selling for less than it’s worth.
Here are examples of inferior listing photos that we see all the time..

It’s not about who you know anymore; it’s who does the best job.?
Your grandparents may not be aware of the new age and future of real estate, and that could cost them thousands. Professional staging, professional photography/videography, and custom marketing plans sell homes for more money in a quicker time frame. The digital world is also constantly evolving, giving realtors the ability to reach people where they’re spending most of their time and target specific demographics with their advertising. If your grandparents have a realtor who isn’t utilizing these things, they are missing tons of opportunities.
Sometimes even just a meeting with a super active and up-to-date realtor could change their life for the better. This realtor should know the power of social media and know all the best ways to showcase a home, from Matterport virtual tours to incredible listing videos. I’m here to help every step of the way, and my team will ensure you and your grandparents are the most educated sellers they can be in this market. Don’t hesitate to give me a call today!
