A family place on Carolina Beach is often held for a long time and then passes to several people at once. That turns the sale into a group decision, and the group does not always want the same thing. One would rather keep it, one needs the money, one lives across the country and cannot get down here to look at it. Years of postponed upkeep in salt air usually come along with it.
Chris Baynes & Associates works through exactly that. Chris Baynes is a Master Certified Negotiation Expert trained in the ACCE method, and with an inherited property the work involving several decision-makers happens well before a buyer is ever in the picture. He also carries the Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist credential from MTI Education, earned for exactly this kind of sale. Legal questions about the estate itself sit with the family's attorney, not with the agent.
Condition is the other half of it. Sixteen years of managing coastal rental property gave Chris Baynes a quick read on what salt air has actually done to a house, what is worth repairing before listing, and what a buyer is going to discount no matter what. From there the property goes out on the full 26-point marketing plan, Zillow Showcase placement included.
