Pricing

Pricing is a crucial first step in selling your property. For an owner to receive the full potential value of their property it must be priced right. Too high of price will keep qualified buyers from seeing it, keep it on the market for an unnecessarily long period of time and possibly cause it to sell for less that it would have if priced right in the beginning.

Market Analysis

To assist in the right pricing a comprehensive market analysis is completed for every listing. Our agents analyze recent sales, market strength and apply this information to your unique property in order to come up with a suggested listing price. With comprehensive information provided by the professionals at Ridge Realty/Rentals you will have all the information you need to effectively choose your listing price.

Inspections

All real estate transactions require a number of inspections to be completed. Over our many years in business we have dealt with several inspectors and have come to know the best. Our agents will ensure all obligations are met on time by qualified professionals.

Paper Work

With different forms due to different agencies at different times, a real estate transaction can seem like navigating a maze of paper work, but not with Ridge Realty/Rentals. Our agents are very familiar with this complex and time consuming process. Their hard work takes the burden off the seller. You can rest easy knowing all paperwork will be completed accurately and on time.

Advertising

Pictures
Digital high resolution color photos will be taken promptly upon contacting Ridge Realty/Rentals. As appropriate, these photos will be used in a number of mediums from the Internet to print ads, brochures and post cards.

Virtual Tours
In addition to pictures, we take 360 degree by 360 degree iPIX virtual tours of every listing. Our virtual tours allow prospective buyers to see everything they would standing inside the property. Because we made a large investment in our own technology we are able to create virtual tours in house. This means our listings have virtual tours of more rooms and surrounding areas, all made very quickly.

MLS/Realtor.com
Comprehensive information on your property, along with pictures and virtual tours will be placed on the Multiple Listings Service, giving other agents and their clients instant access to your listing through an online interface. This information will become instantly available for people anywhere in the world through the Internet.

Your listings will also be published on Realtor.com which gets over 3 million hits per month and has become the leading online source for prospective buyers.

To access one of our online open houses one must simply go to the real estate section of our website. There they are able to see streaming video of the property and ask the on property agent questions.

Compact Discs

In this digital age people want as much information regarding a property as possible. This is why we manufacture CDs for all of our listings. We pass out CDs along with brochures. Discs include digital photos as well as virtual tours of the listing and pictures and virtual tours of the surrounding locations.

Magazine Ads

To attract qualified buyers we may run ads in exclusive magazines such as The Robb Report, Island Home, Coastal Living, Homes & Land and Distinctive Homes.

Direct Mail
After 23 years in business we have built up an extensive list of people who wish to be kept abreast of new listings. We send out regular tri-folds with up to date real estate listings as well as oversized high quality color postcards to potential buyers. We also use email to immediately contact a very large list of potential buyers. These practices have resulted in multiple sales for us in the past.

Internet
A majority of buyers start their hunt on the internet. This is especially true for purchasers of Kapalua^® Resort real estate, with the vast majority of buyers living on the mainland and in other countries. Pictures and virtual tours of your listing will be put on our website which receives thousands of hits a month. We may also create a website just for your property. This works in conjunction to running ads in magazines and newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal. In this case prospective buyers will be made aware of your property's unique website and simply have to go to the nearest computer to bring up more information as well as detailed pictures and virtual tours.
