What Home Buyers Want
-
Most attractive market and economic conditions to buy
(i.e., they want a buyers market, low interest rates, high inventory of homes and declining prices). Unfortunately, neither you nor a buyer can control any of these factors when selling your house. If you have the option, you may decide to wait until market conditions become favorable to you as a seller. Otherwise, we simply work towards achieving the best results within the current market conditions.
-
Best location and neighborhood to live
Again you have no control over the neighborhood you are in. We take this factor into consideration in our strategic selling plan.

Best looking house in the best condition in the neighborhood
Sellers have some control over the presentation of their home, although there are typically practical, financial and time limits in play. Here, we provide guidance on what you can do to achieve your goals within your limitations. Sometimes we may recommend that you make certain improvements and sometimes we may ask that you not make any improvements to get your house sold.
-
Best price and contract terms
In this matter, you have total control when selling your house. But, as a matter of practicality, you’ll have to take into account many factors in order to arrive at the best price and terms that are acceptable to both you and your potential buyers. We provide you with all the data and make recommendations to guide you through the most critical parts of the sale process. However, in order to achieve your desired results and sell your house, we need to have an integrated plan that includes all the steps in the selling process, including preparation, marketing and negotiations.

Most convenient house to see and receive information
Here you also have total control. For example, we highly recommend that those who list their Sunnyvale house for sale with us as their agent have a For Sale sign in their yard, hold agent and public open houses, have a lock box for other agents to access their home, etc. This makes it easier for other agents to show potential buyers your house. Our extensive marketing plan also makes your property easily accessible to potential buyers because we distribute your home’s listing information to more than two dozen top real estate web sites, including Realtor.com, Google, Yahoo, and mlslistings. (We’ll be happy to share the complete list of these web sites with you.) We also advertise our property listings on our own web sites. which attracts approximately 150 to 200 visitors every day who are looking for homes in the Sunnyvale area. Information that’s distributed usually includes detailed property listing information, 8-12 pictures, and a Virtual Tour of your home.

Least surprises with the house and the seller
Home sellers have some control here, but there is no control over the unknown or unanticipated. We review and recommend which inspections should be done and which improvements should be completed before ever putting your house on the market. We compile a complete home seller’s disclosure package for your potential buyers with all the information they need about your house so there are no surprises. We ask that buyers review this disclosure package prior to writing any offers to ensure that they are well advised about the condition of the property. This pre-offer disclosure eliminates or at least minimizes surprises and helps establish trust between buyers and sellers.
The other side of the coin is related to the credibility of the seller’s agent. It is imperative to choose a Sunnyvale listing agent who has a well-established track record of success. The Sunnyvale Real Estate community is a small one and many agents either know each other personally from previous transactions or know of each other from other agents. Over her 23 year career, Nil Erdal has always made it a priority to provide excellent service to our clients and other agents, and has created a strong reputation and a high level of credibility. Testimonials from clients who have bought or sold their home with us confirm that.
-
Most motivated seller
In this matter, you have total control. Home sellers have all different motivations for selling, so this area depends completely on your own personal reasons for selling your house and the goals you would like to achieve with the sale. Your level of motivation will influence the decisions you make in selling your house from the beginning – preparing your house for sale – to the end – negotiations and closing. As a result, most transactions with low seller motivation end up in withdrawals or cancellations.
On the other hand, transactions with highly motivated sellers have a much higher percentage of successful sales. That’s why we spend time with you initially to fully understand why you want to sell your house so we can be sure to set the right expectations and develop the right plan to achieve your goals.
