Residential sales

Whereas we have witnessed massive erosion of values over the past three years, the market now presents many worthwhile opportunities for those seeking to take the first step on the property ladder. One could argue that the opportunities are even greater farther up the ladder, with prime residential homes coming to market at 40 to 50% off their peak prices.  Our office continues to log several qualified inquires for homes and apartments on a weekly basis, and demand for first time homes in city areas would be considered reasonable. However the key to a successful sale is careful pricing. Overpriced houses are slow to attract interest, take longer to sell and will eventually achieve lower results than the house that is priced to market levels. Careful pricing is probably the most important issue to address      before any maketing schedule is considered.

  Our Best Seller Marketing Plan is designed to achieve three important goals:

• Achieve the highest possible price for your home.
• Complete the transaction in the shortest possible time frame.
• Cause the least amount of inconvenience to you.

At O'Connor Shannon we are constantly searching for new ways to assist our clients in achieving top market results. Our new Home Enhancement Guide (please contact us to receive it free of charge) is our latest publication designed to create strong buyer appeal. Filled with valuable information on everything you need to know to prepare your property for sale, it also contains clever ideas which will help you make your home sparkle when you open your door to prospective buyers.

Our service does not end when a sale is agreed. We will gladly assist your solicitor in bringing your transaction to a successful conclusion, and rest assured, you will be kept fully informed of all developments along the way.

Expect the Best!
