How to get your home to sell

1-      Do your own inspection; (Check for water stains on ceilings, wood rot, leaks, uneven foundation, dirty paint, and overall cleanliness);

2-       Check your records for big ticket items, such as your roof, HVAC system, water heater, and gutters for past due maintenance, warranties, etc;

3-       Consider renovating before you sell to get TOP dollar value; (Nowadays, many people are looking for more modern, updated homes, and sometimes, the cash to re- paint,  install new floors, or freshen up the kitchen and bathrooms could mean a worthy investment.

1-      While hearing about our neighbors sale's price is a good indicator, many factors impact the true value of a property, and it is advisable to request a value estimate from a Real estate professional.  The property condition, improvements, financing terms, and market trends may impact the price expected, and a Realtor can prepare an estimate with all that and more taken into consideration.



2-       No matter what you paid for your home, market values fluctuate—both up and down. This can work for you or against you. But all that matters on the open market is what buyers are willing to pay now. When setting a price, the listing level must strike a balance between the seller's need to achieve the best-possible return and buyer's need to get a good value.

3-       Consider that buyers are searching online, for keywords like, "properties up to $300K". If you price at $299K, your home will get a lot more eyeballs than at $310K. Buyers look at about a dozen properties before making an Offer. As a result, they gather a good overview of the market and what they can get for the money.


 

Why use a Realtor?

1-      A Realtor can stage your home. Home staging brings in an 8-10% return on investment. A staged home spends 73% less time on the market than a non-staged home. Staging a home on the market increases the sale price of the home on average anywhere from 1-10% according to 50% of home real estate agents.

2-       A REALTOR® will allow you to tap into a highly
productive and extensive industry network, such as a Multiple Listing Service or other industry marketing system, exclusive to licensed professionals.  Your property will enjoy a wider exposure, including the use of technology with virtual tours, virtual staging, videos, and more.

3-       A REALTOR® can be present at every showing upon your request, providing you with security and  time flexibility to live your life to the fullest , while your property is on the market.

4- When negotiating a purchase, most buyers prefer to deal with a middleperson who is objective, unemotional and professional. Buyers will often feel more comfortable with a REALTOR® than with the owner when they want to raise issues that need resolving before
making an offer. Monitoring, Renegotiating, Closing or Settling
A REALTOR® will guide you through the minefield of potential problems associated with the appraisal, inspection and financing
process, including the often complicated escrow instructions.
