Market Your Home Right!

Introduction: The Ready Realty Group believes that the right marketing strategy makes all the difference. We go above and beyond to market your home using all the latest advancements in technology, social media, and publicity strategies to ensure your home reaches the maximum number of potential buyers. More buyers means more offers, bidding wars, and ultimately, more money for you.

Where Buyers Come From: By studying where and how buyers find the home they purchase, we've created our marketing and prospecting plans to ensure every single buyer who could possibly buy a home like yours knows your home is for sale.  In fact, we are 100% confident that NO ONE can expose your home to the masses like we can!

This graph comes from the National Association of Realtors annual study of home buyers and sellers.  Since 76% of buyers find their home online (including apps and social media) and through their realtor, we focus heavily on these sources without ignoring the rest!

TESTIMONIALS

• "You went above and beyond with your assistance in getting our property to the closing table. I'm convinced you couldn't have done anything more and no one could have worked any harder for us than you did." - Owen Lafave
• "This is a fantastic team to work with! We just closed on a condo they listed for us and couldn't be happier! Sean helped us to price the condo correctly and we received a full price offer withina couple of weeks. The communication was great through the entire process and they took care of all of the details. We were very hands-off after hiring them as our realtor until we signed the closing paperwork.I believe they are a first-class group and completely professional." -@jillyea, Zillow.com
• "My experience with you as an agent was very good. I think your enthusiasm and thoroughness plus willingness to go the extra mile and not just do the "expected" or "required" puts you inanother category that says you will be excellent and stand out in a field not always known foroutstanding personnel. It is true that the real estate agent/broker profession has its detractors being populated by many who treat it as a place to "just pick up that extra buck" if it falls into my lap and others who just don't have a clue what they are doing. You are not in that category." - Karen LaCount
• From day one this group had it together. A flawless operation Sean runs with the help of his staff. My house had multiple offers within 4 days and a signed contract within a week. I am extremely busy with kids and work that Sean and his team made this sale effortless for me!Me and my family appreciate this, Thanks Sean! -@jenclemans from Zillow.com
• Sean and I had a difficult process with individuals having to pull out of deals because of deaths in the family from the buyers. His marketing and due diligence was able to securemultiple offers and we were able to close in a timely fashion. If you are looking in south Tampa,Hyde park, or Harbour island, there is no one better -@joshrcentner from Zillow.com
• "Sean provided invaluable assistance to us when we recently sold our condo. His knowledge of the value of the unit directed us to asking for the correct price which wasthousands above our original estimate. We sold the unit for three thousand more than theasking price."-@elevatorjim from Zillow.com

• "I moved because of a transfer. My company gives a bonus if you sell your homeindependently within 45 days of listing. Not only did Sean and his team get us full asking price, but they did so within just a couple of weeks. Sean knew what a quick sell at top dollar meant to me and my family financially, and he and his team worked very hard to achieve it. Sean and his team are professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable. We couldn't have asked for a better result, or a better group to work with." -@audrasinger from Zillow.com.
