Why Sell with MillerJones?
The MillerJones Company is an expert in the Tampa Bay real estate market. At MillerJones, we understand the home selling process can be an unnerving experience for many sellers. Our dedicated real estate professionals are here to help navigate the sales process from beginning to end. This includes preparing your home for sale, pricing, marketing, showings, negotiating and the contract-to-close responsibilities.
Preparing your home for sale is a critical step and one that should not be skipped. Your MillerJones agent will be able to make recommendations prior to your home being shown that will help maximize showings and eliminate buyer objections. Pressure washing the driveway, sprucing up the landscape, replacing blown out light bulbs and cleaning appliances are examples of easy to address items that can make a big impact.
Your MillerJones professional will help with pricing your home. Pricing your home properly right from the start is critical to maximizing your sales price. Prior to establishing a list price, your MillerJones agent will meet with you in order to learn about your home and what makes it unique and special. Afterwards, we’ll assemble a comprehensive analysis of recently sold homes and use this information to make a determination of value and recommend an asking price.
Your MillerJones agent knows what it takes to effectively market and maximize exposure. We arrange for every MillerJones property to be professional photographed and create an effective marketing campaign that includes advertising on multiple national website such as Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com. We also cooperate with buyers agents, hold Broker Opens, utilize print advertising, digital marketing and much more.
Each MillerJones professional is an expert in negotiating and understands the importance of negotiating the best deal possible. There are many conditions that go into a contract and each term is important. Whether it’s pricing, closing date or inspection timelines, your MillerJones agent will discuss each term with you and negotiate a sales contract that allows you to meet your specific sales objectives.
Once your property goes under contract, your MillerJones agent will coordinate all contract-to close responsibilities. Inspections, appraisals and title work are several tasks that need to be performed prior to closing day. Has escrow been paid? Has the buyer obtained financing? Is the lender communicating with the title company? Your MillerJones agent will make sure no step gets missed and you’re updated every step of the way.

Your MillerJones agent will assist in pricing the home correctly.
Pricing is one of the most important steps in preparing your property for sale. A buyer’s first impression of a property is directly related to how the value is perceived in the current real estate market. If the property does not feel well-priced compared to other properties, it will negatively impact an otherwise good first impression.
Your MillerJones agent understands a property gets the most attention during the first two to three weeks of market exposure. Statistically, you’ll likely receive the highest price during this period as well. If your property is overpriced during this critical period and a price reduction becomes necessary, you may not be able to achieve the level of activity experienced during the initial period of marketing. Pricing your property right from the start is critical to successfully selling your Tampa Bay property.

Your MillerJones agent will maximize your homes marketing exposure.
The MillerJones Company understands the importance of marketing and the impact it will have on a homes final sales price. Simply placing a For Sale sign in the front yard and advertising on the MLS is simply not enough to maximize exposure. Each Miller Jones property is marketed in accordance with our exclusive 12 Point Marketing Plan which includes professional photography, print advertising, digital marketing, online advertising, broker-to-broker cooperation and many other forms of marketing which allows for maximum exposure.

Your MillerJones agent will have the home professionally photographed.
Every MillerJones home receives professional photos! By having your home professionally photographed will allow your home to stand out from other homes on the market. Most internet home shoppers look at the pictures before anything else. This means that their first impression of the home is the listing photography. Additionally, studies have shown that a home with professional real estate photography can sale for up to $11,000 over a home without professional pictures. That’s huge! Adding drone photography can give the home a more prestigious look and can easily show off amenities around the community that will add more perceived value to the home.

Your MillerJones agent believes in a high level of communication.
We understand sellers need to know what is going on with the sale of their home. There’s nothing worse than hiring a real estate agent to sell your home and not hear from them. MillerJones commitment to communication begins with regular updates. Each MillerJones seller will be updated a minimum of once per week on the showing activity, feedback, marketing, and updates that pertain to contract-to-closing “behind the scenes” tasks. Additionally, we place a great emphasis on returning all calls and emails as soon as possible. We understand there is no excuse for poor communication and believe that as real estate professionals it’s our responsibility to ensure you’re updated every step of the way.

Your MillerJones agent will negotiate the best deal possible.
As a listing agent, one of our primary responsibilities is to ensure we work hard to ensure you receive the highest possible price with the most favorable terms. This is accomplished by understanding the market and listening to our sellers specific needs. Listening and understanding the needs of our sellers helps to ensure we accomplish the best deal possible. Often a sellers primary objective is to achieve the highest price possible; other times a seller may be more term focused and want to sale quickly. MillerJones believes it’s our role to listen to the needs of our seller and work hard to achieve their specific closing objectives.
