Your goal is simple… to sell your home for the highest sales price. Here are simple and effective Selling Tips to help you obtain multiple offers and sell your home for a great price!
Your Home’s First Impression
Making a great impression is essential. It’s important to set the right mood for a buyer because buyers will feel the energy! Staging is very important, but you do not always need to buy/rent new items to stage a home. Go room by room, borrowing from one room to stage another.
Let’s Declutter
Buyers buy space – so it’s important to declutter! Start by creating two piles: 1) To Keep and 2) To Throw Away. The better you declutter, the better your home will sell, and the less you will need to move to your new home.
Create a Professional Listing
Your home description in your listing should paint a vivid picture and create the idea of a certain lifestyle using your home’s features as its focal point. When choosing an agent, ask to see samples of their listings and review them for writing quality. Listings should also feature excellent photography. Aerial photos and videos, utilizing drones, are becoming the norm.
Setting the Right Price
Some agents engage in the process of “buying a listing” by promising to sell the home for more than the market will bear. However, when you set an eye-popping price thinking all it takes is that special buyer, a lengthy waiting game ensues peppered by price cuts. Instead, ensure that your agent shows you comps in the local area to demonstrate why you are setting your home at a certain list price. The best approach is to price your home correctly so that that the only eye-popping thing is your home’s VALUE!
Don’t Allow Unsupervised Showings
Your home is your most valuable possession. There is no reason to let buyers view your home unsupervised. Ask your Real Estate agent to be present for all showings. Also, ask your real estate agent to group showings together (one after the other) so you can leave your home for a a couple of scheduled periods of time rather than continually leaving your home at a moment’s notice. Also, by grouping showings, you create the impression that your home is in demand because buyers see other buyers coming to your home.
Obtain a Home Inspection of Your Own
There is massive value in resolving unknown inspection issues prior to putting your home on the market. If your buyer’s inspector finds it, the deal risks being terminated, and there is no more leverage once it goes back on the market to get its maximum sales price.
It Takes a Village
You will often need a variety of services to get your home ready, listed, and sold. Ready Sell Move helps you find local professionals in almost every home improvement category, including real estate agents, cleaning, and painting services.
Consider an Agent that’s also a Life Coach
While real estate may appear to be cut and dry, the circumstances around it have many complex, emotionally charged reasons. Some filled with joy, and some filled with pain. An agent that is also a life coach can add an element of deep understanding, compassion, and a very positive-oriented approach to life transitions and real estate needs.
These simple and effective selling tips will help you avoid stress-inducing mistakes and instead help place you on a clear path for a relocation experience that will exceed your expectations.
