Sell a lifestyle, not just a home
We’re not selling a home, we’re selling a lifestyle. In a place like Fountain Hills, it’s first about matching with the lifestyle, the entertainment, and the commute. If the buyer matches with this, the next step is a simple as buying a home that fits their needs.
Give yourself a lot of time for the home buying process
When you’re ready to buy a home, you’re naturally going to feel stressed, but this is especially true when we start the process late in the game. If we feel like we’re in a rush to get the house, we will inevitably get overwhelmed. If we get ahead of the game things won’t feel as stressful. Getting ahead means getting preapproved and already having a relationship with the agent.
