Experienced Seller's Agent

It’s easy to overestimate the value of your home, but it’s important to set realistic goals when listing it for sale. Your real estate agent can help by conducting a market analysis and comparing your home to others in the area that have recently sold. Keep in mind differences such as lot size and interior square footage, as well as any recent upgrades or work needed.  

Be mindful of upgrades you have or have not recently made and the amount of work the next purchaser will have to do. All these things come into play when pricing your home. You want to entice buyers by setting a reasonable price, not pushing them away with unrealistic expectations. 

To sell your home quickly, you must make it available for potential buyers to see. If your home is difficult to view, it can be off-putting for buyers and agents, and you may miss out on potential offers. In today’s market, where there are many homes for sale, it is important to get as many people to see your home as possible. This can increase the number of offers you receive and give you more control over the sale.  

Make you house more accessible by allowing an agent to install a lock box at your home. This will allow agents to show your home even if you are not available to give them access. By doing this, you can ensure that your home is seen by as many potential buyers as possible, which can help you sell your home quickly and for the best price. 

When potential buyers come to view your home, they want to see everything it has to offer. Ensure that all areas of your home are well-lit, as a bright and open room can give the appearance of a more spacious room, even in smaller homes. 

No matter how beautiful your home may be, pet and smoking odors can be a major turn-off for potential buyers. You can deter buyers if you are selling a home in which you’ve smoked or have a cuddly friend that gets fur and dirt everywhere; it is suggested to deeply clean your home before making your home available for showing.  

This includes throwing out rugs, washing window treatments, cleaning carpets, and wiping walls with ammonia to reduce the number of odors in the home. 

It is important to trust your agent when selling your home. They are trained to showcase the best features of your home and address any areas that need improvement. Leaving questions to the agent is also crucial, as what may seem insignificant to you could be a deal-breaker for a potential buyer. What you may think is something minor could be big to the potential buyer and may cost you the sale of your home.
