 Important House Sellers Advice

1. Real Estate is a long term investment typically offering a slower return and can appreciate or depreciate depending on the market.
2. Remodeling is a great idea if you are taking resale into account. Having a unique floor plan and décor may suite your needs but may limit future Buyers who may not share such unique tastes.
3. Don’t wait just for Spring to Sell. Buyers purchase property all year long. Many Buyers will have personal circumstances that lead to a new property regardless of the time of year. You can list your property anytime and based on the season your amenities can be emphasized.
4. Price according to the market. The most difficult decision the Seller has to address is what to list the property for. Most Sellers will have strong opinions about price due to their own personal value which can lead to overpricing. It is important to look closely at what the agent is showing you, what they think the buyers will expect and how to compete with other properties. The truth of pricing is that it is what a buyer is willing to pay at a certain point in time. Price to create interest while having a strategy to be able to negotiate.
5. Stage your home. Staging can be as simple as removing clutter or clipping overgrown hedges. Staging is doing what it takes to bring out the best in what your property has to offer. Sometimes staging can include adding furniture in an otherwise vacant property to add perspective and warmth. Try to look at the property from the perspective of the Buyer. They will be trying to visualize themselves living in the property. If there is too much “you” in the rooms they won’t be able to see beyond it which creates a false impression. Expectations will be high as the Buyer enters the property; it is important to have the home meet those expectations and maybe even exceed them helping you compete.
6. Make your home EASY to show. Set up the rules with your agent as to when they will be able to easily access the property. Most Buyers typically view property after work, on weekends and early evenings. Don’t be present at the showings. Although you are a wealth of information, the Buyer will be much more comfortable viewing without your presence.
7. Don’t do majors additions or renovations right before selling. As stated above real estate is a long term investment and needs time to appreciate. You won’t have enough time to build equity from an expensive improvement. Small projects that involve sweat equity will yield the highest return. Painting, cleaning, installing new faucets, mulching, updating knobs, refinishing floors basically any project that updates and creates a fresh look will make a difference.
8. Hire the Right Agent, interview the agent like a job interview and find out what services they will provide. Can they provide references and other Sellers that they have worked for? Check out their office, is it professional and organized? Review their website and how properties are presented. Explore their marketing ideas, what will they specifically do to attract buyers? The best choice isn't always the agent with the highest asking price for your home. Be sure to evaluate all aspects of the agent's plan and how well you think you can work with the individual. Your interests should be theirs and they should tell you the facts in regards to pricing, condition and market climate.
