Home Selling Tips

Research Your Local Market

Looking into your local market allows you to see what the current home buying and selling conditions are. What are other homes like yours selling for? How long have they been on the market? Are there lots of similar homes in the area? All of these questions can help you determine if now is the right time to sell.

Repair & Improve

Making repairs and fixing up your home makes it look more attractive to buyers. Newly renovated or newly updated homes tend to spend less time on market and allow you to get more money for your home.

Declutter Your Home

Start packing up non essential items. Having a cleaner home with fewer belongings in it makes it easier for potential buyers to envision the home as theirs.

Price Your Home Right

Everyone wants to get the most money possible for your home. But, we also want it to sell as fast as possible. Generally speaking, the longer a home sits on the market, the less money you get for it. Finding this balance is crucial for selling your home as fast as possible and for as much money as possible. This is where your real estate agent comes in! Trust them, they are your market experts and will lead you in the right direction.

List Your Upgrades

Have you invested in your home and made improvements? Potential buyers may not be able to tell what is newly updated. Our suggestion? Make a list of all your recent and/or big upgrades you have done to the property and leave it on the counter for potential buyers to peruse. This will add value to your home and make it look more desirable for the buyer!

Use a Real Estate Agent

Yes it is possible to do a FSBO, but the smartest course of action is to hire a real estate agent to help you. They are your market experts. Agents help with all the paperwork, marketing and showings to ensure that the home selling process is as stress free as possible.
