5 Tips Sellers Should Know
Are you thinking about selling your home? As you start the process, consider the following suggestions.
Keep the Price Realistic
Name your Price based on the guidance of your real estate professional, who has access to current market data. An overpriced home takes longer to sell; make it easier by keeping it fair. Otherwise, you may find that you have your home on the market, although it's not for sale (because it is overpriced and won't receive interest or offers).
Updates Are Investments
Replacing old appliances and fixtures and decluttering your home will make it more attractive to buyers and potentially increase the value. View these updates as an investment, not an investment.
Stage Your Home
Staging your home to reflect layout and design trends can make it more appealing to buyers, and so can professional listing photos.
Consider a Pre-Listing Inspection
When you order an inspection before listing your home, you can address issues early and save time during closing.
Trust Your Real Estate Professional
The home sale process is collaborative. A relationship with your real estate professional built on trust and transparency is critical. The mindset should be, "what do we need to know, do, and understand to get this home sold for the most amount in the least amount of time."
