Testimonials

Dear Mr Bunbury, As a former owner of a company we know valuable employees are to your success. This is why we are writing to express our complete satisfaction with Donna Hermsen. A little background on the history of our home at 7809 Cobblestone Circle, Middleton. The house had been on the market for one full year, we had vacated athe house on November 1 and moved to S.C. When it was time to to list again, with a 3rd agent, in January, I spent considerable time on the internet trying to find a new agent. I was impressed with Donna's bio and called her to take a look at the house. Our two sons were in the process of installing some updated light fixtures and were at the house when Donna & Dan looked at it. We also had another agent/team from another agency look at the house while our sons were there. After talking to Donna and the other agent, and asking our sons for their opinion of which agent to list with, it was unanimous that Donna was the choice. I was very anxious listing with anyone, and not meeting them and being so far away (S.C.) from the property. Donna was fantastic, she kept us informed of every showing, she followed up with each possible interested party and her negotiations with the selling agent were very professional. The closing couldn't have gone smoother. All paperwork was done via email, and she was prompt and excellent in any answers to questions we had. I will recommend her to anyone I know back in Middleton/Madison area that is thinking of selling or buying a home. Sincerely, Gloria Kuehn Testimonial Gloria Kuehn

Setting the Price

The price is the first thing buyers notice about your property. If you set your price too high, then the chance of alienating buyers is higher. You want your house to be taken seriously, and the asking price reflects how serious you are about selling your home.

Several factors will contribute to your final decision. First, you should compare your house to others that are in the market. If you use an agent, he/she will provide you with a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis). The CMA will reflect the following:

  • houses in your price range and area that were sold within the last half-year
  • asking and selling prices of houses
  • current inventory of houses on the market
  • features of each house on the market

From the CMA, you will learn the difference between the asking price and selling price for all homes sold, the condition of the market, and other houses comparable to yours.

Also, try to find out what types of houses are selling and see if it applies to your area. Buyers follow trends, and these trends can help you set your price.

Always be realistic. Understand and set your price to reflect the current market situation.
