About Charter One Realty and Marketing
Charter One Realty & Marketing is the premier real estate company on Hilton Head Island and the surrounding Lowcountry area including Bluffton and Sun City. For over 10 years Charter I has consistently been the real estate volume sales leader and has maintained its market domination with fewer agents than the next closest real estate companies. Charter One Realty & Marketing has more top-producing agents than any other company in the Hilton Head area.
Why Charter I Realty for Sellers?
Charter I Realty & Marketing takes pride in being the top listing company in the Hilton Head Island – Bluffton- Sun City area. We’re at the top because our agents have the knowledge, skill, and work ethic to get their clients’ properties sold. Pricing a property to sell, how to prepare a property to sell, and marketing a property to sell are three things in which Charter I agents excel.
Selling property in the Hilton Head Lowcountry can be a challenging process, and Charter I Realty agents use multiple resources to attract buyers. Advertising is one important resource and includes newspaper and magazine print publications, and direct mail pieces that promote the property. This is more important in the Hilton Head Lowcountry because of the number of properties in gated communities that don’t allow “for sale” signs or other door-to-door solicitations.
The Internet is another important resource used by Charter I Realty & Marketing. Statistics show that over 75% of buyers start looking over the Internet and most then call a professional Realtor where the property is located. Charter I Realty and its agents are committed to keeping your property prominently displayed on this website and multiple other websites and Internet outlets.
All Charter I Realty agents are also active members of the Multiple Listing Service of the Hilton Head Island Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Not only will the 85 full-time Charter I agents work to get your property sold, but the other 1,125 full and part-time cooperating Realtors and real estate agents in the area will know your property has the backing of Charter I Realty’s experience and professionalism in making the sales and closing process go smoothly.
Every Charter I Realty agent must be a member of the National Association of REALTORS. As such, they adhere to the association’s strict code of ethics. Sellers can rest assured that Charter I Realty agents keep up with current real estate rules and regulations, as well as up-to-date sales skills for getting your property sold.
As a seller who wants their property sold for the most money in the least amount of time, you will not find a better, more successful company than Charter I Realty & Marketing in the Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, or Sun City Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Selling Tips | You Deserve Superior Results
Because we take a different, customized approach to marketing your Hilton Head home, you can and should expect more. Delivering superior results is the way we do business here at Charter I, and more clients turn to us to market their Hilton Head home. In preparation to listing your home on the market, it is recommended you become familiar with these tips. Compete on a Level Playing Field.
Remember, competition is fierce, so make sure your home is ready for the market. Buyers expect a property that is in move-in condition so be prepared to offer a property that is in mint condition.
Exterior:
1. Immaculate curb appeal is a MUST! First impressions are everything.
2. Mow, cut, trim, and create an inviting entrance to your property
3. Boats, jet skis and other items parked on the property should be removed and placed temporarily at a different location (storage facility)
4. Power wash the sidewalk, driveway and exterior of the home
5. Add a splash of color with blooming plants
6. Freshen up mulch/pine straw
7. Touchup paint should be applied where needed
Interior:
1. Complete a thorough cleaning. If in doubt, use the “white-glove” test
2. Consider using our experienced Home Staging Team to create the appearance of maximum space and superior flow.
3. Don’t allow a bad smell to derail a sale. Bake some cookies; add a centerpiece of fresh flowers.
4. Attack counter space in the kitchen and baths removing clutter
5. Organize closets for maximum storage capability
6. Depersonalize the home removing family photos, collectibles and other personal items that distract a buyer.
7. The object is to remove any obstacles to helping a buyer see themselves living in your home.
8. Kennel your pets while your home is on the market. Not everyone is a pet lover.
By tackling these items, you will be well on your way to making your home ready for the Hilton Head real estate market.
