Three steps to a smooth home sale 🏡
Once you decide to put your home on the market, it might feel like a whirlwind of staging, showings and moving.
And add to that the logistics of buying a new home too, it can be extremely overwhelming.
That’s why I’m going to tell you the top three most important things to do when we sell your home.
1) SET THE RIGHT PRICE.
I want to help you get top dollar for your home so I always create a customized pricing strategy for every listing. One of my first steps is to run a comparative market analysis where I compare your home to recently-sold homes nearby as well as similar currently on the market. I’ll also factor in what upgrades and improvements you’ve made to your home, such as adding a new HVAC system or remodeling the kitchen.
2) KEEP YOUR EMOTIONS IN CHECK.
Your home is not just a building — it’s where you’ve celebrated holidays, birthdays, built your family, and made memories. Selling your home is an emotional process, but during offer negotiations, it’s important not to take things personally in order to get the best possible deal. If things get stressful, just think of me as your emotional support realtor, I’ll be with you every step of the way!
3) STAGE, STAGE, STAGE.
Before we list your property for sale, we want to make it look as appealing as possible to prospective buyers. That means cleaning, decluttering, organizing and staging. While I won’t tell you to tear out your kitchen and do a complete rehab, I almost always recommend minor updates that go a long way with prospective buyers, like a fresh coat of paint on the front door, shampooing your rugs, or replacing torn window screens.
I like to meet with home sellers 3-6 months prior to listing so that we have plenty of time to prep your home and make a game plan. If you want to do an initial consultation, don’t hesitate to shoot me a DM and we can set up an initial chat.
