Consider a pre-listing renovation package. With a background in renovating single-family homes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tracymclaughlin.com\">Tracy McLaughlin, director, Luxury Estates with The Agency<\/a> in Marin County, California, finds that understanding what to do to homes to monetize their value takes experience and in-depth knowledge of the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.realtrends.com\/rankings\/real-trends-1000-individuals-by-volume-2019\">McLaughlin is ranked No. 63 individuals by volume in the REAL Trends + Tom Ferry The Thousand<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s suggested changes and performed pre-listing renovations to hundreds of homes over her 20-year career. \u201cNothing is more satisfying than seeing my sellers close their homes at over-market value prices as a result of making capital improvements that I\u2019ve suggested before launching the listing,\u201d she says. Here are her tips.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Do your research.<\/strong> McLaughlin notes that an agent \u201ccan\u2019t make decisions and recommendations with someone else\u2019s money unless they have a background in this. It takes years to acquire the necessary experience to make expensive investment decisions,\u201d she says. So, participate in some remodels, talk to interior designers, and go to some classes on remodeling to gain that experience. Also, get to know the market and homes in the area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know when to start and stop.<\/strong> \u201cI find that a lot of agents don\u2019t understand where to start and stop as it pertains to capital improvements so the sellers can avoid overspending,\u201d she says. \u201cAnyone can tell a homeowner to paint, carpet, etc. However, that agent must know the exact palette that the market responds to and guide sellers in exactly what to do, and not do, in alignment with the home\u2019s valuation, neighborhood, and demographics of potential buyers, among other things,\u201d says McLaughlin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Include a proposal in your listing package.<\/strong> McLaughlin recommends that agents include a detailed market analysis based on comps going back one to two years, an overview of marketing and social media efforts and a list of pre-listing improvement recommendations for staging and capital improvements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Provide references.<\/strong> Provide references\/written testimony with sellers you have very recently worked with so that your current prospective seller can have assurances about the value you add to their home sale.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The key, says McLaughlin, is \u201cyou must differentiate yourself in the marketplace and provide value that others can\u2019t. Communicate honestly with your sellers, even if it means you risk losing the business. Great, long term and successful sales businesses are built on a rock-solid core of trust and integrity.\u201d And, that includes being honest about the pre-listing remodeling necessary to get the highest price possible on a home. \u201cIf you have the experience, differentiate yourself by providing prospective sellers with an incredibly clear and&nbsp;detailed proposal of pre-listing renovation and design suggestions so that they understand the value of what you\u2019re doing for them. Then, get the home sold!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"www.store.realtrends.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-59486 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/01\/MP-Ad-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16175,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Find Out How The Agency&#039;s Tracy McLaughlin Gets Listings Sold at Top Dollar<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are you looking to sell your seller&#039;s home for top dollar?
