Step-by-Step Marketing Plan
Here’s what our Center City Clients have to say about The Atacan Group:
“We originally listed our house with another agent, and after two months without an offer, we thought it would never sell. Then we hired The Atacan Group who committed their best efforts to selling our house, and he even told us to the dollar, what we could expect to get for the house. True to his promises, The Atacan Group worked vigilantly and professionally and sold the house two weeks later. They kept me updated on a daily basis. They represent so many buyers and brought dozens of them through our house, which resulted in a quick sale, exactly as he had predicted. My wife and I only wish we had hired The Atacan Group from the start. They offers so much more than any other real estate agent!” ~Timothy Woolford, Attorney “After years of lesser agents trying to sell my house in Northern Liberties, The Atacan Group clocked in, in a matter of weeks. They were great! I’d urge anyone trying to buy or sell to call them! When it is time to move, you’d be a knucklehead to try your luck with anyone else. In Center City, The Atacan Group is the only name you need to know!” ~Joe L'Erario Furniture to Go, Men in Tool belts, on The Learning Channel “As an investment banker, I understand the value of excellent customer service. The Atacan Group was outstanding. They were there when we needed him.” ~Donald Adams, Commercial Banking “I originally listed my home with another Realtor and had a horrifying experience. After I signed the contract, she basically disappeared. She was impossible to reach, I never had an open house, and when the contract was over, she told me it didn’t sell because it was priced too high! The Atacan Group listed and sold it in the same week. The Atacan Group and their staff were amazing. All of my questions were answered, all calls returned promptly, and I was constantly kept in the loop. I highly recommend the Atacan Group, and they are the only Realtors I will ever use! “ ~Rob Englehart, Investor “I liked The Atacan Group immediately because I felt they could relate to me and I did not feel pressured or anxious working with them. The Atacan Group made the whole process easy, and they made it obvious they care.” ~Dr. Marcella MacGuire, Psychologist “Being first time buyers, we were nervous and hesitant in making a decision on purchasing a home. The Atacan Group was very patient in answering our questions and in explaining the buying process to us, which helped to prepare us mentally for our investment. Through their use of technology, they were able to show us many properties in a short amount of time by emailing new listings to us daily. They were very aware of our needs and requirements in a home and worked hard to find the best match for us. Their professionalism, knowledge and easy manner made buying a new home fun without any of the stress. Working with The Atacan Group made things happen quickly and efficiently.” ~Peter & Lisa Tobia, Queen Village “The Atacan Group came highly recommended to me, so I gave them the listing that another Realtor had for 3 years. The Atacan Group sold it the first day. I am still shocked!” ~Stuart Davidson, Attorney “The Atacan Group aren’t pushy and are very cool. That’s why I bought my house from them.” ~Sugar Mom, Restaurateur “I looked for a house for almost a year first trying on my own by calling around and going to open houses. Then I worked with 3 other realtors, all who kept wasting my time by showing me homes that did not meet my requirements. I was completely frustrated with the real estate industry. I was just about to renew my lease when my friend told me about her realtor. She raved about how knowledgeable, responsive & organized he was and said even I would be impressed. I was very skeptical, but I called The Atacan Group anyway. In 2 weeks they found me exactly what I wanted! Then their staff handled all the details to settlement, but kept me in the loop through weekly e-mails. It was the best real estate experience I have ever had! I tell everyone about The Atacan Group, they are amazing!” ~ Jean-Claude Jacquot, Four Seasons
The Prime marketing time occurs during the first few weeks. Make sure your home is priced right from the very beginning!
Above Market Value. Finding that single, unique buyer that will pay this price is possible… but not likely.
At Market Value. Our goal is to price your home in this marketing range where a good, fair price can be anticipated within a reasonable time.
Below Market Value. You can expect more interest, from more buyers, more quickly– and probably a faster sale but for less money.
