GPS Marketing Reaches More Buyers

Is now the right time to sell?

Hearing that "it's a seller's market" may have piqued your curiosity and perhaps you are considering selling at this time. For months, the limited supply of homes on the market in the Hudson Valley of New York has given sellers an advantage as buyers looked to lock into historically low mortgage rates.

In the past few months we have represented both buyers and sellers in the suburbs and beyond, successfully in multiple bidding wars. Many of our listings have sold between 5%-30% above their current market values. There are still many motivated buyers eager to purchase. With home prices surging you may tempted, but the million dollar question is...

Is it the right time for you to move?

Remember, the same limited supply that increases your home’s desirability may impact your new home search. You may be relieved to hear that GPS can coordinate the entire process by working closely with buyer agents around the country, or even the world. In fact, wherever you plan on moving to. GPS can provide the information, services and expertise you'll need to make the right decision. And, If you qualify, we even have access to financing allowing you to bridge the gap between selling and purchasing your next home.

Is the price right?

To find out the current value of your home and what you need to make the most, you'll need to speak to an expert. With more Realtors than homes for sale, the first thing to do is to have a PSA (Certified Pricing Strategy Advisor) find the true current market value of your home. Not a guestimate, or Zestimate. A certified PSA is second only to an Appraiser, but won't charge you for the service.

What next?

After visiting your home in person, a GPS PSA will ensure any additions and updates you may have completed will be taken into consideration. After all, no one house is the same as another, which online pricing algorithms never manage to get right. Our team of experts will also make suggestions (if needed,) as to what can be done to increase the value of your home.

It takes a strategy, and a team of professionals to ensure your home will attract enough attention to get a bidding war going, driving offers on your home higher than its current market value.

A Client's Experience

"All Realtors are not created equal."

We interviewed seven local agents, all of whom quoted us about the same value for our home. They provided practically the same marketing packages, and not one stood out from the rest. So much so, we finally planned to pick one by pulling a card out of a hat!

To prepare for the sale, we held a garage sale. It turned out to be our lucky day when a couple dropped by and asked if we were planning to sell our home. We chatted, and after telling them about the hat idea, they laughed and told us about their experience with GPS.

"All Realtors are not created equal," they said. "This company is different." Now, If you knew me, you'd know that I'm not an easy person to deal with. I have my ideas, and I certainly know what I want. I seriously had my doubts about contacting a company I'd never even heard of.

We're so glad we didn't use that hat!

When we met our GPS team leader, her confidence, knowledge and preparedness, stood out from the rest. We chose GPS, and their team got right down to work. Their skills made the house look fantastic, all we did was a few jobs inside and out.

There were so many buyers, a bidding war started. GPS handled it beautifully, ending up with far more for our house than we ever dreamed of.

It's a pleasure to provide this testimonial, and urge anyone considering selling to ensure you interview the team at GPS. It's true, Realtors are certainly not all created equal.

"We had already moved to NC after trying twice to sell, including once on our own. My former boss told me to try GPS as his neighbors had just sold their home in Armonk with them. All I can really say is that their marketing skills are amazing. They took our virtually empty home, and made it appealing. So much so that it sold in less than a week. They saved our savings. We can't thank them enough."

As the online world increasingly becomes the primary source for property searches, it is more important than ever that a marketing strategy of diverse visibility and captivating content is used. The marketing team at GPS designs a customized marketing program to ensure your home gets in front of the right demographic of buyers.

These days, posting on the MLS is not enough. It's critical that your home is seen everywhere to get maximum visibility - on all listing portals, social media channels, websites and blogs. But visibility is only half the solution. GPS strives to ensure your home appeals to the dreams and desires of perspective buyers whatever the price range.

Creative Marketing

Market Conditions & You

In the current seller's market, homes for sale are receiving multiple offers, driving prices up above normal market values. However, this market won't last forever. Traditionally, Spring is the time when many homeowners decide to sell, with even more expected to do so this year

Once the inventory of homes for sale begins to rise, we will likely see prices dropping back down to more normal numbers. Even though interest rates are still extremely low, they have already begun to slowly rise. Yet another factor why buyers' are clamoring to buy now while they are still at a historic low.

Many sellers' have discovered that the conventional approach to real estate isn’t working. The number of homes failing to sell even in our current hot market is clear proof of this fact.

Our first step to a successful sale is to meet you. A Listing Team Leader will evaluate your home in person, provide an accurate market value, and discuss the required documentation to ensure you are comfortable with the process. We will also make any recommendations deemed necessary to the success of your sale.

If you decide to move forward with GPS at this point, your team leader will provide you with a Home Seller's Worksheet. By discussing the contents it will ensure all the required information is correct prior to signing the contract. Our Project Management team will be available to provide suggestions or assist with any services required.

Our photoshoot check list will ensure your home is ready and prepared, but If needed, you may request our staging services or our pre-photography prep crew to ensure your home looks its absolute best. The photoshoot, will usually take one to two hours, depending on the size of your property.

The Marketing Machine

Listing Launch Day

Buyers only visit a small number of properties after doing extensive research online. During this stage of the listing process we are gathering together all the information buyers desire, ready for insertion into your marketing package.

The marketing package the team at GPS produces contains a narrated virtual tour, website-storybook, multiple graphics, and social media timeline developed ready for a continuous marketing program.

Once ready, the listing package is uploaded to multiple MLS's, national and global real estate platforms (Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, etc.) Plus every regional brokerage, and their potential buyers notified.

The Showing Process

Today's electronic lockboxes do much more than allow access like the old-fashioned unsafe combo boxes. Nowadays, unless an electronic lockbox is used, your home isn't covered by your agent's broker's insurance when it's being shown. To ensure your security GPS always uses electronic lockboxes. When appointments are requested you'll be notified with the name, time, and the length of a proposed showing. Once confirmed, this information is synchronized with the lockbox. Only the confirmed Realtor is allowed access at the allotted time by using their personal pin code.

Traditionally real estate sellers would expect their listing agent to be present at every showing. Today this practice is known as "Blocking". This unethical "service" is used to inconvenience other agents. GPS ensures your home is always available to be shown by any agent with qualified clients. Not just when it's convenient for us to be there. Don't worry, our comprehensive marketing ensures that buyers and their agents have all the information they need when visiting your home.

Global Property Systems was the first cloud-based real estate brokerage on the east coast, so when the pandemic hit, nothing much changed. Our Buyer Specialists all work from home, only meeting buyers in person once fully pre-approved, and mandatory disclosures are signed.

The mantra of buyer agents in the real estate industry is "Speed to the Lead!" With modern technology developing rapidly so is the need for technology to assist our human agents.
