5 Things to do Before Putting Your Home on the Market
1. Have a pre-sale home inspection. Be proactive by arranging for a pre-sale home inspection. An inspector will be able to give you a good indication of the trouble areas that will stand out to potential buyers, and you’ll be able to make repairs before open houses begin.
2. Organize and clean. Pare down clutter and pack up your least-used items, such as large blenders and other kitchen tools, out-of-season clothes, toys, and exercise equipment. Store items off-site or in boxes neatly arranged in the garage or basement. Clean the windows, carpets, walls, lighting fixtures, and baseboards to make the house shine.
3. Get replacement estimates. Do you have big-ticket items that are worn our or will need to be replaced soon, such your roof or carpeting? Get estimates on how much it would cost to replace them, even if you don’t plan to do it yourself. The figures will help buyers determine if they can afford the home, and will be handy when negotiations begin. 4. Find your warranties. Gather up the warranties, guarantees, and user manuals for the furnace, washer and dryer, dishwasher, and any other items that will remain with the house.
5. Spruce up the curb appeal. Pretend you’re a buyer and stand outside of your home. As you approach the front door, what is your impression of the property? Do the lawn and bushes look neatly manicured? Is the address clearly visible? Are pretty flowers or plants framing the entrance? Is the walkway free from cracks and impediments?
Hazy Oberski and the Asheville Realty Team were founded on the belief that all sellers deserve an agent who will work as their educator, personal consultant, and a source of information through the entire selling process. The greatest reward we as Realtors™ can receive is the personal relationships that we develop with our clients.
“It is a rare person who can take care of hearts while taking care of business, but Hazy and the Asheville Realty Team have proven that it can be done”.
Quoted by Hubbell's
You have just made one of the biggest decisions of your life. The first was buying your home and now you have decided to sell. It is not only a financial decision but also an emotional one. You may have spent your entire life or marriage in this home, your rose garden is out front, you raised your children in this home and you may have even charted their growth on the bedroom wall!
Whatever it was, it is a huge emotional decision you are about to make and requires a lot of work. From getting your home ready to market, keeping your home “ready to show” and understanding the offer when you receive it. Here are some great tips in selling your home.
Ask yourself: If you were buying a home and saw yours, would you make an offer? The goal is for your home to look good, maximize space and attract as many buyers as possible.
Step 1
Find a Realtor that is a full time agent and has a powerful Marketing Plan that includes a high Internet Exposure. More than 80% of buyers today are finding their Realtor and/or property on the internet.
Step 2
After seeing the current selling prices in your area, allow your agent to help you decide on the best price to market your home. One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is going with the agent that gives them the highest selling price. Hire the agent that can show you the correct price range that your home should sell for. Your price should not be based on “what you need” to purchase another home. Price your home to sell! Don’t let it just sit on the market because you think it’s worth more than the other homes in your area are selling for.
Step 3
Get that “to do” list finished. It may be a deep cleaning or maybe just touching up the paint or weeding the lawn. Whatever it may be, don’t put it off. Get it done as soon as possible!
Step 4
Staging a home….helps to sell a home. Sometimes it is best to get a third party involved. They can look at your home through the eyes of a potential buyer and let you know what changes you can make to put your home on the top of the buyers list. I personally think that home stagers are so valuable that I include a FREE two hour consultation with all of my listings.
Step 5
Make sure your home is in “showing condition”. EVERY DAY! Make it a habit to keep your home clean and appealing to a potential buyer. The day you leave the house in a “mess” could be the day your home is shown.
Step 6
Don’t let your emotions make decisions for you when you receive an offer. You may feel the offer is too low but don’t get angry about the offer. Buyers are looking for a bargain so expect a few low offers. Don’t take it personal. Your agent is there to negotiate these offers for you. Allow your agent to make a counter offer back to the potential buyer for you. I have seen sellers get so angry that they refused to respond to a buyer’s offer. They probably lost a great buyer because they allowed their emotions to cloud their decision. Again…don’t take it personal…this is a business decision for most buyers.
Step 7
Don’t forget that the same agent that is selling your home for you can also find you a new home. Many sellers don’t realize that their agent can also act as their “buyers” agent. If you are relocating, ask your agent to find you a reputable agent in the city you are moving to. It may save you many headaches by allowing your agent to weed through the list and find you someone that fits your needs and personality.
