FAQs

How long will it take to sell my property?

Every property and situation is unique, and there is no definite answer. May factors influencing the amount of time it will take include: location, building restrictions in your area, strength of the market, and how aggressive you are willing to get on your asking price. Call us today – we can evaluate your property and develop the right marketing plan to fit your needs.

What kind of feed-back can I expect from you and how often?

Our company and Agents send out bi-weekly marketing reports via email. These reports show BHI stats on what has sold, is pending, and what new properties have recently come on the market. We will also notify you of any showings and discuss with you any remarks or suggestions given by clients and other Agents. Every communication style is different, including our Agents'. Please feel free to discuss with your Agent the frequency with which he or she should be in contact with you.

What is my competition?

Your competition will be every other property on BHI that fits your property's criteria. This will also include any properties in that description that have sold or are currently under contract. This is why pricing is so important. We are experiencing a market where Buyers are not emotional about their purchases for the most part. They are looking for the best deal. This is where our skilled and knowledgeable Agents will shine for you. We can help you find your best price range and market your property to stand out above similar properties.

What can I do to make it more presentable?

Presentation can mean the difference between selling a home and letting it sit for another season. Simple fixes such as removing excess furniture to reduce clutter and open up spaces, adding furniture to a sparse room, keeping vegetation trimmed back and property well-groomed, keeping porches clear of sand and debris whenever possible, and keeping the interior clean and smelling fresh can make a significant difference to a potential buyer.

What is a 1031 Exchange, and how can this benefit me?

In general, a 1031 Exchange allows for the tax-deferred exchange of any business use or asset property for "like kind" property of equal or greater value. (The term "like kind" is very broad in definition, and does not mean that the exchange must be for an identical property. This exchange may occur between land and homes or even between residential and commercial properties.) This means that your capital gains taxes are postponed if you reinvest the proceeds from the sale of one asset property into another within the guidelines regulating 1031 Exchanges. Why sell a property that has significantly appreciated and put the proceeds in the bank before buying another asset property? You would just be paying hefty sums in capital gains taxes and depreciation. Using a 1031 Exchange could actually increase your asset leverage. Please consult your Investment Adviser and Tax Adviser for more information on 1031 Exchanges and how it will affect you financially.

Will you do open houses?

Absolutely! WWP agents love to hold Open Houses as a way to meet more clients and to showcase a property. We usually hold an Open House along a major traffic road or intersection where there is high visibility. Unfortunately, holding an Open House in a property that is set back in the woods or out of the public eye at this time is not effective, because of the no-signage rules on BHI. Also, brokers are not allowed to display an Open House bollard on any properties located in Stage II, which makes an open house in those properties difficult and ineffective. For these reasons, we are promoting our Yellow Carts as our "mobile offices." Where you see a Yellow Cart, there is likely an Open House!
