HERE'S A TIP: Look beyond the bid. In a hot market like the one we're in right now, it's common for buyers to start bidding wars over desirable properties. A common mistake sellers make is defaulting to the highest bidder. If you are in this situation, it's important to consider other factors, like whether a buyer has been preapproved for a mortgage, if there are contingencies, or if the bid is so far over the home's appraised value that a lender will refuse to finance. In some cases, it makes sense to go with a lower bidder if there are less barriers to get the sale done. Especially if you're already paying a mortgage on your next home.
Making these decision without an expert on your side can be frustrating. Our agents are trained to understand the nuances and help guide you to the best possible outcome. Get in touch with one of our agents today: https://www.benchmarkrealty.com/

Small things add up. Neglecting to clean and stage your home for showings is a critical error that could end up costing you a lot in the end. While fixing small things like rusty faucets and broken door stops might seem small compared to the big picture, these details can often lead buyers to wonder if there are deeper, unseen issues. Taking time to create a welcoming, clean space is a simple way to increase the perceived value of your home.
It can help to have an agent with a fresh set of eyes give you feedback on your staging. Our team of experts can give you advice on what details are important to fix and how to best prepare your home for showings.

TIP TUESDAY: Get the timing right.

There are natural fluctuations throughout the year when it comes to buying a home. Most realtors will agree that the beginning of summer tends to be a great time to list a home. You should always be aware of what might compete for attention when putting a home on the market. Holidays are an easy example of periods that slow down. But there are many other periods of time to consider. For example, if your home is a perfect fit for a young family, you may have more traction in the fall after school has been in session for a month or two, rather than trying to sell during the busy summer and back-to-school season.

TIP TUESDAY: Get the pricing right. According to a recent HomeLight survey, 70% of real estate agents said overpricing was the number #1 issue they see sellers making in this market. While the market is still hot in most Minnesota regions, overpricing can still cause a listing to go stagnant. For this reason, it's crucial to understand what the market value of your home is before setting a listing price. After all, you can always refuse an offer that's too low.
