SELLING YOUR HOME:
Selling a home, land or investment property can take a lot of time. A  REALTOR® is capable of pricing your home using a broad range of resources. When a REALTOR® enters your home into their MLS system you instantly have thousands of agents that can help sell your home. You do not want to find yourself wishing you had been able to sell your home to move to the perfect community - yet the commission of a REALTOR® seemed too high. Working without a REALTOR® to represent your best interests can be related to solving a $200,000 tax or legal question without the consultation of CPA or lawyer. Get the advice today that can save you from heartache tomorrow.
PRICING:
So What Should I Sell My Home For? This is a big question that is immediately on most seller's minds. Your home is capable of being priced by using comparisons or "comps" of the local market. REALTOR's have access to the MLS, which stores the past sales prices of many home in your area. With a hard search through the MLS, and an in depth look at the details of each home being evaluated, a REALTOR® will develope an appropriate asking price for your home. This is undoubtedly the most important step in selling your home efficiently.
SAFETY:
Often a work-at-home spouse will take on the heavy and potentially unsafe burden of selling a home. This can lead to a feeling of unease when clients are being shown the property. This tension might spoil a deal that would have otherwise have gone smoothly. Don't take the chance of inviting a potentially harmful guest into your home.
PREQUALIFYING:
There are "tire-kickers" out there that have no intentions of purchasing a home, but you have little or no way of screening clients. It can waste a lot of time during lunch breaks and on house cleaning. Let a REALTOR® prescreen clients for you...so that your time can be focused on more important tasks such as work and spending free time with your family.
NEGOTIATING & MORE NEGOTIATING:
Negotiation can be
a huge process in
itself. It often
covers price, financing
terms, date of possession,
repairs that need
to be made, and personal
property that is
going to be sold
along with the home.
A REALTOR® negotiates
on a frequent basis
and is often capable
of achieving the
highest price for
a piece of property.
A deal that might
otherwise end
with "NO" can often
be resolved through
an in-depth process
of negotiation.
TOP 5 HOME SELLING TIPS:
# 1. TIDY UP all
over the house...Remember most people are trying to dream when
they
see your home, don't
let them get caught up on your dirty socks on the floor or unwashed
dishes in the sink. Focus on the cleanliness
of the kitchen & bathrooms.
#2. Open your blinds
and pull back the
curtains, natural
light is often the
best. Turn on the
fans (clean the blades,
too).
#3. Mow the grass & sweep the walkways. An edger can be a
great tool, too.
#4. Plant flowers
around your shrubs
and mailbox. Remember
that "curb appeal" is
the first thing a
potential buyer sees.
#5. Yard signs are
the next best thing
to a REALTOR®, make sure there are signs
posted clearly and
arrow signs on corner
streets to help those that may just be driving through.
