Sellers want maximum value for their home to be happy.
1. Don't Sell It Like It's Still Your Home
The most impactful changes you can make prior to selling a home are easy and affordable changes that a buyer will see as an objection and assume will cost a lot of money to fix.
Hire a professional stager and if there are original, cheaper fixtures that date the home, such as cheap builder lighting and plumbing, spend some money and upgrade the home prior to sale. -
2.Early Preparation Is Key
Many sellers don't realize they need to begin the process 60 days in advance of when they want their home on the market. If you are aiming to list in April, begin the process in February.
Start by meeting with a few agents to decide who you are most comfortable working with. Then get a list of tips to prepare your home for sale, allocate some time to preparing your home and decide on list price. - Allan Rankin, Re/Max Royal Properties Realty Ltd. Brokerage
3.Listing Price Is The Most Important Decision
Sellers who do not listen to their agent who gives them sound pricing strategy advice are positioning themselves for failure. The agent does a comparative market analysis, and the end results define the value of the property today.
The homeowner needs to use that price and not add negotiating room. When the offer comes in, jump on it and thank your agent for doing their job.
- Rita Santamaria, Champions School of Real Estate
4.Image Matters
Many owners don't understand that photography plays a key role in selling their home. It's the most expensive thing
they'll ever sell, yet many owners don't value how important it is to use quality photos to attract attention, which in the end results in the best price and a faster sale. Buyers begin their search online and expect to be dazzled or they’ll ignore your listing. - Brian Balduf, VHT Studios
5. Don't Think You Can Do It Yourself
It is very unfortunate that many homeowners consider themselves market experts because they know how to do a quick Google search. This is definitely not the way to go because nothing can beat a real estate agent's experience of dealing in a local market for countless years and countless transactions.
