When
a homeowner decides to list their home for sale, there are many
emotions and considerations involved, says Lacy Burke. As a successful real estate agent in Los Angeles, Burke understands the ins and outs of
home selling. He has become an expert in his field. This expertise has
led to him overseeing the luxury home sales division for ReMax in Orange
County. All home sellers want to sell their property for the best
price. Even when the housing market is in a slump, receiving a good
price is always important.
For
some home sellers, there is a certain price that is absolutely
necessary, to pay off their own mortgage loan and recoup any equity they
have built. For others, the fair price they receive is also based on
their emotional attachment to the home. This is a tricky situation, as
Burke has learned over the years. Just because the home you are selling
is full of great family memories for you, does not mean that the buyer
is going to see it that way. A buyer is looking at the home from a
completely different perspective. They do not know that this hallway is
where your daughter took her first steps.
Often,
that emotional attachment leads sellers to list their home at a price
that is incongruous with the housing market. Lacy Burke works with home
sellers to find a smart compromise on the sale price that is fair, but
will also net a profit for the seller.
