IF YOU DON’T HAVE TO SELL NOW – DON’T!!!
Do not sell your property now if you can afford to hold it for at least 5 more years. With that said, there are situations where you have to sell. (I’ve been there myself so I fully understand and emphasize.) Buyers want a good deal. In a buyer’s market, they want a screaming deal. This creates a few challenges for you the seller. Namely, how do you get the most money for your home in the shortest period of time?
That’s where I can best help you.
Price : A property that is priced right moves. There are properties today that are selling above asking price in the first few days on the market. Why? Because these houses are aggressively priced. So if you really want to sell, price your home ahead of the market. There is nothing worse than chasing the market with price reductions on your home. A home best selling window is when it first comes on the market. It is difficult to rekindle their interest or change first impressions. Buyers want to know that you are serious about selling and you show them that by how you price your home…
Condition : The better the condition of your home, the more money you will get for it and the faster it will sell. Box up your stuff. Put away things you aren’t using. Take down the family pictures. You are moving anyway, so start the packing process before you put your house on the market. Clean the carpets, paint or touch up the walls, plant some beautiful flowers. Sweep the garage and driveway. Create a Strategic Selling Point – something that will stand out to the buyers who are looking.
