Buyers

Avoid a Boundary Dispute - Get a Survey

When purchasing a piece of Sedona Property, as always, it’s important to do your due diligence before you close on the transaction. In Arizona, you have a period of time to inspect the property once you have an agreed upon contract. That time period is also known as the Inspection Period. One important aspect of your research should include physically locating the perimeter of your desired property during that inspection period. One way to verify the property lines is with a Property Boundary Survey.

Typically for homes or lots located within a subdivision, you can use a copy of the recorded plat map and/or a recent survey to help locate the pins at the corners of the subject property. This will give you a visual border of the property you are attempting to buy. If for some reason there is a dispute - perhaps a fence was built encroaching on your property or the property pins are unavailable - we recommend that you have a new survey performed prior to your purchasing of the property. It’s always good to know how much land comes with your purchase.

A Property Boundary Survey could be much more important if you are contemplating purchasing a piece of Sedona Real Estate that is not located within a subdivision (also known as “Metes and Bounds”). Boundaries can and do change over time due to property splits, sales and many other factors. If there are vacant lots that are located next to each other that do not have the property pins in place, it is ALWAYS a wise investment to commission a survey and know where the property lines are.

If you have any questions about surveys or other property inspections, don't hesitate to give us a call. We are here to help you make the most informed decision when purchasing Real Estate in Sedona, AZ.

Sellers

Differentiate from the Neighbors

When you choose to sell your Sedona Home, it is important to know your competition. Often times your direct competition may need to sell before your property will appear to be the “best value available.” As your Realtors from RE/MAX Sedona, we strive to provide you with as much information as possible to maximize your value on your Sedona Property and to distinguish yourself from other properties. The following are some of the factors where we look to help you differentiate your property from the competition:

• Purchase Price - Setting a purchase price is sometimes a complicated task. We attempt to use current competition (a.k.a. “comps”) to determine how your property will stack up against recent sales and active listings. A Comparative Market Analysis (a.k.a. CMA) is a good tool to help. Remember that undercutting your competition in price can be a strategic advantage even if you are only a couple thousand dollars less.
• Selling Bonus – Consider offering a bonus to the Selling Agent. If agents' see the bonus they will keep your property in mind when time limits them to show only a few properties. This gets more exposure to your property which may ultimately get it sold faster.
• Home Features & Amenities - If you are planning on updating your home, remember three areas - Curb Appeal, the Kitchen & the Bathrooms tend to stick in buyers’ minds. Spending money on those areas often improves the “Value of Your Home”. Having a realtor that has been inside your competition can help you determine whether or not your Sedona Real Estate stacks up against your rival properties.
• Sweeten the deal - Leaving a piece of art that "makes the home” can entice buyers to give your property a second look. Even some personal property may be enough to sway buyers to view your home as the better deal. Examples include: a large screen TV, surround sound speakers in a family room or even a golf cart if your property is located in a golfing community.

These suggestions are based on our experience in showing buyers similar properties. We’ve seen how some of these items have swayed buyers into reconsidering homes. Knowing how you compare to the other properties available give you the strategic advantage when attempting to sell your Sedona Property. Remember that price isn’t the only tool you have to differentiate your property from the others available.

Let us know if you would like us to help strategize the marketing & sale of your Sedona Property. We are here to help!
