Realtricity Sells Home on Market for Two years in Just Three Weeks!
A home that was on the market for over two years with other Realtors, sold in just three weeks when listed with Realtricity!
Our Forts Ferry listing was a charming 3 bed, 1.5 bath, tri-level ranch home in the heart of North Colonie. The home now provides it’s new owner with a beautiful fenced in backyard, open ground-level family room, cathedral ceiling living room, updated appliances and close proximity to central highways and area shopping. It sounds like a great home, doesn’t it?
But why didn’t it sell the first time? Its simple, really! Unlike other real estate brokerages in the area, Realtricity’s new approach to real estate went to work on marketing the best assets of the home. In an already tough real estate market, many homes end up sitting regardless of condition. In the case of the Forts Ferry home, it was in superior condition, but no one was buying. This disheartening trend is occurring all over the nation as a result of the recent housing market slump and increased supply of homes. Realtricity recognizes the challenges of today’s market and employs better ways to make a home standout among the competition.
How do we market our homes?

Our website creates a better way to organize real estate information in order to make it easier to find, visually compelling, and attractive to potential buyers. http://www.Realtricity.com makes your property more marketable by providing all of the listing details of a home and making it available to buyers over the Web. Our marketing focuses on the use of effective electronic multimedia to give each property we list that extra edge in the market. All of our photos and videos are produced in the highest quality to insure they stand out next to the best neighborhood competition.

Our client from 58 Forts Ferry said, “Realtricity is not just a website. You deal with real people who are always very professional.”
One of the key ingredients in getting homes ready to sell in this market is Home Staging. Home Staging creates an environment that appeals to the broadest number of buyers who will potentially purchase a house. To sell a home in today’s market it must stand out and be enticing to as many buyers as possible. To do this, Realtricity provides each property with a free consultation by our Accredited Staging Professional, who will view the house and draft a proposal with suggestions to help prepare your home to sell. Almost all homes, no matter how nicely decorated, need a few updates, de-cluttering, de-personalizing, and fresh paint on the walls. The idea behind home preparation is to prepare the home to appeal to others by removing personal styles and possessions. The hardest part of this process is recognizing a home as a marketable asset rather than a place to live in.
Take a look at the before and after pictures of our recently sold Forts Ferry listing and see how a little Staging goes a long way in selling a home!
