If you’re considering selling your home, it’s important to do your homework. You’ll want to do the right preparation in order to obtain your goal of selling your home for the best price, even in a market that favors sellers. Buyers tend to prefer homes with curb appeal that do not require a lot of work after purchase. Often, only for a small investment, you can spruce your home up with paint, carpet, and possibly professional home staging, depending on the condition of your home and furnishings. Please contact me and I can help you arrive at the right price.
The Home Selling Process
STEP 1: PRICE YOUR HOME RIGHT
The biggest mistake to avoid when selling your home is over pricing it. All home sellers have a price in mind that they’d like to receive for their home. As your agent I will help you evaluate your home’s condition, features and how these factors play a part into your projected sales price.
STEP 2: PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR SHOWINGS
Buyers are looking for a home that is in move-in condition, so you’ll need to spend some time making your home presentable before the Open House signs are set out. First, declutter all surfaces. Next, depersonalize your home by removing family photographs and paperwork. We want buyers to be able to envision themselves living in your home.
STEP 3: NEGOTIATING OFFERS AND CLOSING YOUR HOME
Negotiation is the key to getting the best outcome. When an offer is presented, I will help you negotiate the best possible price and terms. Throughout the transaction, I will work with you to closely monitor the progress of all contingencies to make certain that deadlines are met. Closing is a formal process where all parties sign the necessary paperwork needed to complete the sale. Title to the property is transferred from you to the buyer.
