Anne Arundel County Maryland Real Estate Video Blog with Diane Donnelly: April 2015

How we helped Tracey during a difficult time by always being supportive

"We listed my daughter’s house with them, and within two weeks it had sold. The situation was that my daughter’s husband had died, so it was a very emotional and difficult time for her. At one point we had a contract written, and the family found out that her husband had died in the home. They asked for a $15,000 reduction in the sales price because of that. Diane was very respectful and professional when she told us that information, and she was very supportive of our decision not to proceed with that contract. I would recommend Diane’s group at any time. They stayed on top of everything and did an awesome job."

After a couple of decades in this industry, I think I've found the most important part of selling homes. It's pricing them correctly.

Sellers have an idea of what their home is worth, and they won't sell for less than that number. However, when you're unrealistic about your price, you're telling buyers that you're not serious about selling your home.

Buyers aren't ignorant - they have a wealth of information available to them via the Internet these days, so you really can't get away with overpricing your home. Wouldn't you pass on an overpriced home? When your home is overpriced nobody will make an offer on it, and if it sits long enough, then someone will think that something is wrong with it.

When your home is priced correctly it will get multiple offers and that allows you to control the sale because you can pick and choose which offers you'd like to take.

If a buyer can't find value in your home, it won't sell for top dollar.

If you need any assistance selling your home this spring in Maryland, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always happy to help you sell for top dollar!

Randy - "The Donnelly Group is very proactive and creative in terms of putting the word out about your home. They always got back to me to answer any questions I had and did what it took to get my house sold. They’re a great team and I’d highly recommend them!"

Patricia - "Having not gone through the experience in a long time, I was very impressed with how professional, helpful, and accessible the Donnelly Group was. They’d answer calls when I had concerns and always had time for me. They were incredibly patient, informative, and reassuring. I’d recommend them to anyone!"

Carrie - "We’re actually still working with the Donnelly Group. We’re still in the process of purchasing a home through them, but in the sale of our home we met with Diane and she came over to the house and helped us find comparables. She actually sold the house for more than we intended on so we’re pretty happy with the experience."

Rodney - "I was very happy with what the Donnelly Group did for me. They went above and beyond in every aspect. The put together a nice slideshow of the home, a virtual tour, and all of that stuff so those who were looking online would get a better view of the home inside and out."

Lucas - "The entire process was very positive. My Realtor really knew the ins and outs of the real estate game. The level of service I received as a first time home buyer was just fantastic. They were really able to get an idea of what we were looking for and helped us find the right place."

Michael - "We were able to sell my home in 9 days and then they also helped me navigate the purchase of my next home without any flaws. They even sent us a professional stager and a professional photographer to help us prepare the home for sale which we really appreciated. It ended up selling for the highest price in the neighborhood!"

John - "The Donnelly Group was aces from beginning to end! We were referred to her because our previous agent wasn’t performing up to her abilities. Everything was great from beginning to end and she sold our house pretty quickly! It sold in about 7 days when the other agent had it for 3-4 months. Dianne would give her advice but we didn’t have to follow it and she always kept us informed of exactly what was going on."

Nadine - "I felt very good about the whole experience. I think they were very professional and Tricia Roe would always answer my calls and if I left her a voice mail, which I don’t think I had to, she’d immediately call me back. It was the same with emails, they were just so responsive! I was just very pleased with the whole experience!"

Tracey -"We listed my daughter’s house with them, and within two weeks it had sold. The situation was that my daughter’s husband had died, so it was a very emotional and difficult time for her. At one point we had a contract written, and the family found out that her husband had died in the home. They asked for a $15,000 reduction in the sales price because of that.
