🏡 Marketing Your Home to Sell in Aberdeen

Everyone wants to sell their home quickly and easily—but here’s the truth: there’s no magic formula. Selling a home takes common sense, elbow grease, strategic marketing, and patience. Even then, the right buyer might just not have seen your home yet.

That’s why Mickelson Realtors is dedicated to exposing your listing to the widest possible audience.

It’s easy to assume others will love your home simply because you do. But that assumption can lead to overpricing and under-preparing your home for the market.

Tip: Price your home realistically from the beginning. Years of national market data has proven that listings get the most attention when they're new on the market. Overpricing can cause you to miss that critical early window.

Presentation matters too. If you want top dollar, your home needs to look like a great value:
✔ Repairs handled
✔ Clutter cleared
✔ Clean and tidy rooms
✔ Curb appeal on point

And finally—be realistic about the market. We’ll help you set informed expectations with detailed local market analysis.

If your home isn’t in great condition, it will struggle to stand out—especially in neighborhoods that attract repeat or move-up buyers.

Curb appeal makes a real difference.

“Curb appeal can boost home value by 4–5%. Homes with poor curb appeal often sell for 8–10% less.”

Homes with improved curb appeal sell 7 days faster and receive offers 6 days sooner than those without.

Start with these four simple steps:

1. Ask yourself: Would I want to buy this house based on the exterior?
2. Get honest feedback from friends.
3. Budget for upgrades ($100 or $1,000—it’s often worth it).
4. Get help. Our team has decades of experience in real estate, remodeling, and design.

Remember: clutter, dirty corners, peeling paint, and overgrown landscaping can delay your sale.

Good marketing gets your home seen—and seen fast.

Here’s what we do:

• 📍 MLS listing – Instant exposure to hundreds of local agents and their buyers.
• 📸 High-quality photography – Because buyers shop with their eyes.
• 🌐 Online visibility – We list your home everywhere buyers are looking.
• 📲 Social media tools – Share your listing easily on Facebook, Instagram, and more.
• 
  

Fact: Homes listed by agents get more views and higher offers than those sold by owner. Google the stats—you’ll see.

Marketing can’t force a sale, but it ensures your home is presented in the best possible light to the largest audience.

Patience isn’t just a virtue—when listing a home, it’s a requirement.

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions someone will ever make. In a stable market, buyers take their time. That means sellers need to be ready for the process to take a little time, even when everything’s done right.

Here’s the goal:
Get your home in great shape → market it well → attract serious buyers → wait for the right one.

As your agents, we:

• Market your home
• Coordinate showings
• Handle offers, paperwork, and closing details

But we’re not magicians. We can’t push a buyer into a home that isn’t right for them. This has to be a win-win transaction for all sides.

So yes—it takes patience. But with the right preparation, the right pricing, and the right partner (that’s us), your home will sell.

Let’s talk about what it will take to sell your home in Aberdeen (or Richmond, Mina, Frederick, Groton, Bath, Westport!).
