Overcoming Your Home-Selling Issues

When it comes to selling your home, it can sometimes it feels like you have strikes against you. Maybe you need to sell at a difficult time of year. Maybe your home is not in the best location or the most in-demand style. Maybe you have a difficult schedule for showings and open houses. No matter what issues feel difficult to you, I can help. I work with my clients to make the process as easy as possible.

I'd like to share with you some feedback from one of my recent clients who felt daunted by problems he felt when trying to sell his home.

"We had been trying to downsize for a couple of years. We knew the sale could be challenging because our home is a contemporary--not exactly in high demand on the Main Line. Yet when our house was listed, we had numerous showings--but all we had to show for it was a lot of open houses, frustration and disappointment.

A friend of mine suggested we contact Scott Furman. I checked out his web site and gave him a call. His no nonsense approach was refreshing and eye opening. He had a plan to market our house and get it sold. When I worried about the month we were selling, he dispelled the myths; when I worried about showings, he worked with our schedule; when I didn't want a lock box, it was no problem. And we did not have any open houses.

Scott’s extensive real estate knowledge, business acumen, attitude, and professionalism got our house sold during mid-August after less than two weeks on the market. And, we had competing offers over asking price!

For a contemporary home we were amazed and thrilled! Scott helped us through every step with patience and assurance. Then, he helped us find a terrific home in our target area.

Calling Scott Furman was the best real estate decision we have ever made."

Transparency in Real Estate

Buying and selling a home are big decisions, and you will feel most comfortable if you know you are getting all the facts. Whether you need help finding the right price for your home, or need some guidance in evaluating a new home, I can help. Please call me: 610-687-2900, ext 113.

One of my clients recently said this about working with me:

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Scott Furman and his RE/MAX Classic team on the sale of my house in Paoli. This was our first time selling a home and we realized very quickly that we needed help with EVERYTHING. After "shopping around" we came to the conclusion that we needed an agent who was willing to sit down and have an honest discussion about pricing, showing, and attracting a serious buyer. Scott fit this description perfectly.

Scott's process led to realistic expectations and a transparent approach. While other comparable homes lingered on the market, ours received elevated attention from serious buyers from day one. He even recommended vendors who were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Scott and his team managed the process every step of the way, which was tremendous for us given our move out of state while the house was on the market/under contract.

Overall, I highly recommend Scott Furman and RE/MAX Classic to any seller looking for a team to expertly lead them through the home selling process!"

I pride myself on being honest and ethical in my work, and look forward to bringing that approach to working with you.

Selling Your Home in a Difficult Market

The real estate market has weathered its share of storms in recent years, which is why it is essential to choose your real estate agent carefully. In a difficult market, you want to be represented by someone with a wealth of experience and skills.

Read what one of my recent clients had to say about their experience with me:

"From our first meeting with Scott Furman, we knew we were in good hands. Scott is by far, the best real estate agent we've worked with and we've moved 4 times in 4 years! Scott viewed our home, gave us feedback and suggested a selling price $15,000 over what we thought we could get. He was right! Despite the challenging market conditions, our house sold in record time for 98% of the asking price. We are so thankful to Scott and his entire team for their guidance and support throughout the selling process. If you want to sell your house quickly and for an excellent price, hire Scott Furman!"
I would love to meet with you to discuss your home and how to get the highest possible price for it. Please call me: 610-687-2900, ext 113.
