Sellers
When you decide to relocate there are many factors that add to the stress of the move. Selling your house should not be one of them. But, for many it is. To help reduce that stress there is some planning you can do in advance. You’ll find that a little planning can be the key to a smooth transition to your new home.
Selecting An Agent
In 2007 we obtained 97.74% of asking price for our sellers with an average days on market of 81 days. 77.27% of our business came from repeat and referred clients.
One of the critical elements in selling your house is to find the right real estate agent. Today, we are in a buyers’ market. In other words, there are more available homes than potential buyers in the market place. It is crucial to choose an experienced agent with an effective marketing plan to get the best results. Look for an agent with the CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) designation. This agent has a proven track record of consistent sales, education and experience to acheive your desired results. To find a few of the things you should consider in selecting an agent to market your home go to Choosing your Agent.
Pricing Your House Properly
Pricing your house is an important decision. Many sellers price a home higher than the competitive range thinking that they can always reduce the price. In reality, this actually has a negative effect and hurts the chances of selling. In today’s world, buyers usually have a Buyer's agent working on their behalf. The agent knows the price of houses in your area. Your house may be ideal. But if it is priced too high, the buyer will know it and will not view it. Pricing the house to sell in a competitive market is critical to meeting your time frames. Houses now on the market are taking longer to sell then they would have just a year ago. Benefits of Proper Pricing will provide information on how pricing your home competitively can benefit you!
Make A Good First Impression
Today’s consumer is a comparative shopper. Attention to details counts when you want to make a good first impression. Have all the necessary work done before presenting you home to the market. Buyers want a house that has neutral décor and in good condition. Most buyers are as busy as you are. They are not willing to make even cosmetic changes in a home. They want the house ready to move into now. Go to Making A Good First Impression for ideas before placing your house on the market.
