From My Dog Bed to Your Doorstep: Albus’ Top Tips for Sellers in a Shifting Market
By Albus, Asheville Realty Group’s Chief Barketing Officer

Woof, friends.

The real estate market is shifting like a squirrel dodging a retriever in the backyard—and trust me, I would know. As Asheville Realty Group’s resident good boy and expert in all things cozy, I’ve been sniffing out the best strategies to help sellers thrive, even when the market feels a little…wobbly.

Here are my top tail-wagging tips if you’re thinking about selling your home in today’s climate:

🐾 1. Price It Right the First Time (No Chasing Your Tail)
Overpricing in a shifting market? That’s like burying your bone in someone else’s yard—you’re not going to find what you’re looking for. Buyers are savvy, interest rates are still barking up the cost tree, and homes that linger too long start to smell stale (and not the good kind of stale, like week-old peanut butter treats).

Experienced agents—like the ones right here at Asheville Realty Group—study the market daily, down to the last pawprint. We’ll help you price your home competitively from day one to avoid unnecessary markdowns later.

🐾 2. Presentation Is Everything (Yes, Even More Than Bacon)
In a world of endless scrolling, your home has just seconds to make a first impression. That’s why we use professional photography, staging, copywriting, and marketing that doesn’t just say “Here’s a house”—it says “Here’s your next chapter.”

We’re not talking about amateur phone pics or listing it and leaving it. We go full fetch mode—strategic social media campaigns, custom video, compelling MLS descriptions, and beautiful branding. (I like to think I help inspire the aesthetic.)

🐾 3. Trust the Humans Who Know Their Stuff
This isn’t the time to DIY your sale with a squeaky toy and a dream. When markets shift, experience matters more than ever. Our agents at ARG have weathered the ups and downs, and we bring data-driven strategy and local soul to every listing.

We know how to attract serious buyers, negotiate smartly, and guide you all the way to closing without stepping in anything unpleasant.

🐾 4. Be Flexible, Stay Calm, and Let Us Lead the Walk
Things might take a little longer than they did in the frenzy days—but that doesn’t mean you won’t get great results. The key is knowing how to adapt. Maybe it’s timing, incentives, or showing strategy. We’ve got paws on the pulse and always a plan B (and C and D).

Final Woof:
Selling your home is a big deal—and in this market, it’s not just about getting it sold. It’s about getting it right. With the right pricing and a team that knows how to bring out your home’s best bark, you can still win big.

So if you’re thinking about listing, let’s talk. I’ll be right here—on the porch, nose in the breeze, ears perked for opportunity.
