Keep in mind, pricing your home is about establishing a price based on research, market insights, <em>and reality<\/em>.<\/p><p>Overpricing a home based on a seller\u2019s perceived value is a pitfall to avoid.\u00a0 Penn can help you with this \u2013 by creating a thorough Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) Report on your home. This is a free service with no obligations to choose Penn as your real estate partner, whatsoever. With this report, you will have a much better understanding of how best to price your home to sell.<\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6c2c;\">A FEW KEY POINTS OF CONSIDERATION WHEN PRICING YOUR HOME TO SELL:<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is a must! <\/strong>Utilize Penn\u2019s vast industry resources and market knowledge to get this valuable information \u2013 <em>at no cost to you.<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Avoid setting a price to simply make more money.<\/strong> Listing your home at a higher price does not usually equate to a higher selling price. Price it accordingly to ensure it sells. Too high of a price often results in a longer period of sitting on the market, oftentimes resulting in a lower sales price.<\/p><p><strong>Use caution with internet-based home estimates.<\/strong> Sites such as Zillow can provide a certain degree of helpful information. However, computer-based algorithms estimating your home value should only be used as a rough estimation. This is especially true in dynamic real estate markets such as Hawaii. Nothing substitutes real-time, expert knowledge when it comes to evaluating your home&#8217;s comparative market value.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f3d33ab elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f3d33ab\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8ac7385\" data-id=\"8ac7385\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-478ccc7 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"478ccc7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-list-alt\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M464 32H48C21.49 32 0 53.49 0 80v352c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h416c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48V80c0-26.51-21.49-48-48-48zm-6 400H54a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V86a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h404a6 6 0 0 1 6 6v340a6 6 0 0 1-6 6zm-42-92v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H204c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h200c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12zm0-96v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H204c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h200c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12zm0-96v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H204c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h200c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12zm-252 12c0 19.882-16.118 36-36 36s-36-16.118-36-36 16.118-36 36-36 36 16.118 36 36zm0 96c0 19.882-16.118 36-36 36s-36-16.118-36-36 16.118-36 36-36 36 16.118 36 36zm0 96c0 19.882-16.118 36-36 36s-36-16.118-36-36 16.118-36 36-36 36 16.118 36 36z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-94b6ab6\" data-id=\"94b6ab6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f945338 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f945338\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Step # 3<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2722449\" data-id=\"2722449\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36334e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"36334e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Review the Listing Agreement<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb0575c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"bb0575c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89af0a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"89af0a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Now is a good time for you to discuss with Penn any final details of selling your house and the Agency fee, before signing the final listing agreement.<\/p><p>At this point in the home selling process, you are ready to review the nuts &amp; bolts of what is entailed with listing and selling your home.

Showings are a very important part of the home buying and home selling process, and according to a 2018 Zillow Report, 79% of buyers credit taking a private tour as a key factor in their decision to purchase. There are several types of showing methods &#8211; such as an <em>open house<\/em>, a <em>lockbox tour,<\/em> or a <em>private showing<\/em>. If you are looking for a conventional buyer, and if you want to encourage multiple offers, avoiding showings is not really an option. Sight-unseen sales are rare unless you are dealing with international or out-of-town buyers.<\/p><p><strong>Open House Showings:<\/strong> This is when you open your home to be viewed at once by many potential buyers, usually over the course of a three to four-hour period on a weekend afternoon. Open houses can minimize the inconvenience of showings as you will only have to get your house \u201cready to view\u201d one time, and you will know the schedule ahead of time.<\/p><p><strong>Lockbox House Showings:<\/strong> More convenient than private tours, lockbox tours allow potential buyers to look at your home with their own agent. Since they can access your home with a lockbox, this setup allows more flexibility in scheduling. They can let themselves in rather than waiting for Penn to show the house. However, this method only works if you are not living in the home. Generally, utilizing the lockbox process will generate more showings.<\/p><p><strong>Private Tour Showings:<\/strong> With a private tour showing, Penn personally shows your home to a prospective buyer and their agent. This provides Penn with the ability to control the showing, providing answers to all of the buyer\u2019s questions in real-time, pointing out your home\u2019s best features, etc.\u00a0 Plus, private tours often provide Penn with helpful feedback regarding your home\u2019s price, condition, and competition \u2013 which is helpful information when refining marketing campaigns.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-eec79fc elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eec79fc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-434f6df\" data-id=\"434f6df\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d4200c elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"1d4200c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-book-reader\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M352 96c0-53.02-42.98-96-96-96s-96 42.98-96 96 42.98 96 96 96 96-42.98 96-96zM233.59 241.1c-59.33-36.32-155.43-46.3-203.79-49.05C13.55 191.13 0 203.51 0 219.14v222.8c0 14.33 11.59 26.28 26.49 27.05 43.66 2.29 131.99 10.68 193.04 41.43 9.37 4.72 20.48-1.71 20.48-11.87V252.56c-.01-4.67-2.32-8.95-6.42-11.46zm248.61-49.05c-48.35 2.74-144.46 12.73-203.78 49.05-4.1 2.51-6.41 6.96-6.41 11.63v245.79c0 10.19 11.14 16.63 20.54 11.9 61.04-30.72 149.32-39.11 192.97-41.4 14.9-.78 26.49-12.73 26.49-27.06V219.14c-.01-15.63-13.56-28.01-29.81-27.09z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e8aec5c\" data-id=\"e8aec5c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8af8325 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8af8325\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Step #
