A resale in Leland competes with the house being framed two streets over. In communities like Brunswick Forest and Magnolia Greens, years of builder activity mean a seller's listing lands in the same search results as a model home with new finishes and incentives attached, which puts far more weight on presentation and pricing than an established market would.
That is the job the 26-point marketing plan at Chris Baynes & Associates is built to do. It covers professional photography, a staging consultation on request, CAD-generated floor plans so buyers understand the layout before they book a showing, and wide syndication. Listings also run in Zillow's Showcase format, a premium presentation the site caps at roughly 10% of any market's inventory. The outcomes back the process: 17.5 days is the median time one of these listings takes to go under contract, and 98.89% is the median share of list price it brings home.
There is also a way out of the agreement. If the house has not gone under contract and the seller decides the team is not doing what it said it would, they can end the listing. The sign comes down, the property comes off the market, and there is no notice period and no conditions attached.
