Lacey Newman’s Interview with Style Blueprint - “Listing your home in today’s market”

Lacey Newman, Founding Partner and Estates Director at Heard Newman Team, recently shared the essential do's and don'ts to ensure you get top dollar when selling your home with StyleBlueprint, regardless of market conditions, and we wanted to share a few key points with you!

Call Your Agent to Walk Through Your Home ASAP

When you decide you’re ready to sell your home, Lacey recommends the first thing to do is call your agent to come and walk through your home. She says it’s important to find an agent that truly knows your neighborhood and how to best market your home in that particular area. Lacey says “being in your home helps me understand what I’m selling, and listening to you and learning about your goals and pain points will help me craft a strategy”.

Make Sure Your Home is Market Ready

Lacey told Style Blueprint, “it’s important to make sure your home shows as beautifully as possible, especially with prices as high as they are now”. This is the best time to go through your home and clean it out and organize. Our team offers a staging consultation service that can make a huge difference when it comes to preparing your home. Heard Newman’s listing liaison, Olivia, can do everything from helping you identify what should be packed up to selecting paint, tile and lighting should your home need a refresh before listing. Our Compass Concierge program will even front the cost of home improvements as an interest free loan which you simply pay back once your home sells!

Pre-Market your Home to Price it Perfectly

In shifting markets, it is best to test out the price before making it public to everyone. Lacey mentions the way the Heard Newman Team does this is by “using artificial intelligence to target market your home to the agents who are most likely to have the buyer for your home. Then, the price may be adjusted based on agent feedback”. Our team has many tactics to make sure that we are finding the best price for your home.

We have sold $288M+ over the last 5 years, and are 4x Diamond Elite Award recipients from Greater Nashville Realtors.
