So You Want To Sell Your Home....Now What?

SELLER'S TIPS

Plan of Action

Analyze why you are selling – if you understand your motives, you will be able to better negotiate and to get what it is you want, whether it be a quick sale, high price, or somewhere in the middle.
Prepare your home for the buyer – maximize the strengths of your property and fix up its weaknesses. You want the buyer to walk away from your home with a lasting good impression.
Find a good real estate agent that understands your needs – make sure that your agent is loyal to you, and can negotiate to help you achieve your goals. In addition, they should be assertive and honest with both you and the buyer.
Be prepared for negotiation – learn and understand your buyer’s situation. What are their motives? Can you demand a big deposit from them? Try to lock in the buyer so that the deal goes through.
Negotiate for the best price and best terms – learn how to counter offer to get more from every offer.
Make sure the contract is complete – be honest with your disclosures; you do not want to lose the deal because you were lying or diminishing your home’s defects. Insist the buyers get a professional inspection. This will protect both you and the buyer.

Selecting Your Realtor

Choosing your real estate professional is the most important decision you will make when selling property. You should choose a Realtor® you like and trust. Clark & Associates Land Brokers, LLC will take time to sit down with you and listen to your thoughts about selling your home and, in turn, give their honest opinion of what you should expect out of the sale of you home.

Setting the Price

The price is the first thing buyers notice about your property. If you set your price too high, then the chance of alienating buyers is higher. You want your house to be taken seriously, and the asking price reflects how serious you are about selling your home.

Several factors will contribute to your final decision. First, you should compare your house to others that are on the market. If you use an agent, they will provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). The CMA will reflect the following:

Houses in your price range and area sold within the last year.
Asking and selling prices of houses.
Current inventory of houses on the market.
Features of each house on the market.

From the CMA, you will find out the difference between the asking price and selling price for all sold homes, the condition of the market, and other houses that are comparable to yours.

Also, try to find out what types of houses are selling and see if it applies in your area. Buyers follow trends, and these trends can help you set your price.

Always be realistic. And understand and set your price to reflect the current market situation.

Selling a home is a rewarding experience if you have the proper guidance from your real estate agent. Call and visit with our residential and commercial specialist, Tandy Dockery, today and make your dreams a reality.
