Expert Tips On Selling Your Home Starts Here
Identify any of your home’s flaws – Sellers are obligated to disclose any major problems or flaws in the structure or property such as termites, asbestos, or a new junkyard opening next door. If you fail to mention that flooding basement, you could be sued for fraud. There is really no upside to trying to hide problems anyway since most buyers will have the home inspected before closing.
Get the house in “showing” condition – Small cosmetic changes can potentially increase your home’s value by thousands (new paint, flowers, or door hardware).
Decide what goes and what stays – Before you start showing your home, you need to decide what will be included in the sale. Is your refrigerator staying or going?
Start looking for a new home – self explanatory.
Improvements – Suggested Exterior Improvements:
- Painting: Touch up your house’s paint or repaint it in neutral colors.
- Lawn: Keep your lawn cut and clear debris.
- Shrubbery: Remove or replace any dead, overgrown, or dying trees, hedges, or shrubs.
- Replace or repair anything that looks unsightly.
- Windows: Keep your windows clean inside and out throughout the selling period.
- Eliminate or hide clutter: Clear everything out of the garage that you don’t need.
- Keep your stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and other appliances clean inside and out.
- Clean and spot-treat all carpeting. Polish wood floors and vinyl flooring. Clean walls, doors, and woodwork.
- Eliminate odors: Buyers will notice strong smells as soon as they walk through your front door.
- Get rid of clutter: Keep clutter off kitchen counters and dirty dishes out of the sink. Straighten all closets.
Prime Showing Tips –
Here are some staging tips that you can use to increase your house’s emotional appeal.
- Kitchen: Smells from baked cookies or just-brewed coffee are delightful to potential buyers.
- Bathrooms: Have fresh towels in bathrooms, buy new shower curtains, keep personal stuff off vanity countertops and put new soap in the soap dishes.
- Clear everything off your refrigerator.
- Comfort: Keep your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
- Flowers: Vases of colorful, fresh flowers spotted throughout the house make a wonderful impression on prospective buyers.
What should I list my home for? –
There are many factors that affect the list price of a home: location, condition, amenities, supply and demand, and local and global market conditions. Your Expert Realtor will assist you by providing a thorough market analysis of your home so you will be able to come up with a realistic, competitive pricing strategy on your home.
The Property Condition Disclosure Form –
Most sellers of residential homes are required to provide potential buyers with a completed and signed property condition disclosure form. Please consult with your Expert Realtor for complete details.
