Real Estate Sales Results That Matter

In today’s low inventory and high-demand market, it’s more important than ever to price properties correctly. Knowledge of local real estate markets helps Svetlana advise clients on correct pricing for the property. Because property values are hyperlocal and always shifting, Svetlana Vidovic relies on CMA to price individual houses. A comparative market analysis (CMA) puts your home side-by-side against other recently sold properties similar to yours in location, size, and condition. The “strategy” here is to size up the competition and nail down a price range, from which you can add or subtract value based on your home’s unique positioning, features, and upgrades.

That doesn’t mean you should spend months remodeling every room to raise your asking price. Svetlana’s approach uses the comps to set your price range and keep major projects to a minimum. Svetlana’s approach is proven to work. Here are 2 sales: a condo in Glenview and a house in Round Lake that sold within the first week on the market, with only painting in a popular color and correct pricing strategy.

By creating a promotional drone video and aerial pictures, Svetlana was able to get this 14 unit apartment building in Chicago under contract in 4 days. With drone video of your property, you can gain an edge over the competition. Drone filming and pictures help sell your property with an enticing video showing the property in all its glory. It also gives people a much more accurate perception of your property and can convince people to come and visit for a closer inspection. Drone video and pictures are free of charge for our clients, sellers, and landlords with exclusive listing services.

Many of my clients ask me how to buy commercial property for a brand new business with a low down payment. Dozens of banks, private lenders, and non-banks will finance a mixed-use property. But those lenders all required large down payment. My buyer dream shattered as lenders declined to finance for brand new business.

Who says you can’t get financing for a small mixed-use building with a low down payment? We went the extra mile just to make sure our client got what they needed. After a long search, I was able to find not only a great mix-use building but also a lender that was able to finance commercial buildings with a minimum down payment! Our client had enough money left over after purchasing the real estate property to start up their business.
