It wouldn’t be a Sivel Group podcast without kicking things off with Michael’s signature intro music—“To the windows… to the walls…” 🎶 Yep, we went there… but to keep it clean, we had to stop there! 😂
Michael & Jenn are spilling the tea on how to actually navigate the wild world of the Spring Market. Want the inside scoop on selling your home like a pro? Buckle up, because they’re breaking down the three P’s—Prep, Photo, and Price—aka The Sivel Group’s holy trinity of real estate success.
💡 Hot Take: They never list a home as “Coming Soon” for more than two days. Why? Because buyers turn into internet detectives, overanalyze every detail, and talk themselves out of making an offer before they even step inside.
The Perfect Listing Timeline:
- Tuesday/Wednesday: House goes live.
- Friday/Saturday: Showings start.
- Open House? Maybe. Maybe not. (Depends if we want to avoid the Lookie Lous who come for the free cookies and leave with unsolicited opinions.)
- Offer Time!
Once the offers roll in, there’s no dramatic deadline pressure. Why? Because if the three P’s were done right, the house will sell without the stress. Multiple offers? Great! Just know that we assume your highest and best means exactly that. Submit it right the first time… and when there are multiple offers, keep your offer submission for the sale of the house with a contingency!
Glossary of Terms (A.K.A. Michael’s Slang vs. Jenn’s Dictionary)
- RELO: A relocation buyer.
- TO’d: Temporarily off the market
- Double Popped: When the same agent lists and sells a house twice—which sounds cool… unless you’re the seller, in which case, not so much.
Pricing Pitfalls:
A house lingering on the market for 300+ days? Yikes. That’s what happens when you price aspirationally instead of realistically. Nobody wants to be that listing that just won’t budge.
⚾ Spring Fever:
As the market heats up, so does Michael’s Phillies fandom—he’s got High Hopes for our Fightin’ Phils and an even higher appetite for ballpark snacks. 🍔🌭
