five things to do before your list your home
ONE Hire a real estate agent.
It may be tempting to list your home on your own to avoid paying a sales commission, but selling your own home is a full-time job itself. A real estate professional represents the best opportunity to earn the maximum amount from your home's sale. An agent will recommend the best listing price, market your home effectively and show your home to buyers. An agent also recognizes what buyers are looking for in a new home.
TWO Get your home inspected.
You are required to disclose any problems with your property to prospective buyers. Failure to do so will lead to further complications, even if you weren't aware of the flaws ahead of time. Hire a professional inspector to identify and document any problems with your property. Also, make sure your home has a clean bill of health from termites.
THREE Make repairs ahead of time.
A long list of necessary repairs is a major put-off for most buyers, who may decide to move on rather than deal with the headache of fixing up the home. Do as many repairs yourself as possible, then hire a contractor to complete the rest. If you decide not to make major repairs beforehand, hire a reputable professional to provide cost estimates that you can show to any interested buyers to put their minds at ease.
FOUR Showcase your home.
Curb appeal and first impressions are valuable assets when selling your home. Clear unnecessary items from your yard and maintain the landscape to welcome visitors. Keep the interior of your home clutter-free to maximize your home's livable space.
FIVE Price it right.
The original asking price of your home has a huge impact on the ultimate sales price. If you price it too high, buyers will look for better values and your home will remain on the market longer. The longer your home is on the market, the less desirable it becomes to buyers-even if you eventually lower your asking price because most buyers will avoid a home that others are avoiding. Conversely, pricing your home too low may result in a quicker transaction but will yield you less money in the end.
PRICING STRATEGY
Using a scientific market analysis in your area, we will price your home correctly the first time so that it will sell quickly.
If your home is priced at fair market value, it will attract the largest number of potential buyers in the first few weeks.
If a home is overpriced it will attract the fewest number of buyers looking to purchase a home. The majority of home buyers look at a lot of homes, and they quickly get a feel for the price range that homes sell for in a given condition and location.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
In today’s market, homebuyers are searching online first. It is imperative that the photos of your home are top-notch and of the best quality to catch the home buyer's attention and stand out from the competition. Having more eyes on your home is the fastest way to get it sold and sell for top dollar.
