TIPS FOR FIRST TIME SELLERS At first the task seems daunting and what worked 10 or 20 years ago seems inappropriate today. What steps you should take to get started. 1) Define your goal. Do you want the highest sales price or the biggest check at closing? You need to look at both price and terms--you also need a strong negotiator in your corner. 2)Times have changed. Purchasers now use the internet, receive "seller disclosure forms", get home inspections and are usually represented by a buyer broker. 3)Sparkle and shine. Get rid of things you don't want to move, organize closets and storage areas and clean everywhere. 4) Mechanics count. Buyers expect everything to work. Home inspections are now common and what buyers miss home inspectors will catch. 5)Think Broadway. When buyers see your home, it's show time. They want to see a home where they can see themselves. 6)How's the market? Your broker can explain current market trends in your community. 7)Know your rivals. Your property will be competing with other homes in your area. 8)Understand the plan. Real estate marketing involves far more that a sign in the yard and an ad in the paper. Of course, there's more to selling a home than the items
listed here. I can explain the local marketplace and the best way to
successfully sell your home. |
