Seller Tips |
|
| |
|
| |
|
Millions of homes
are sold each year and each transaction is
different. Nevertheless, every home owner wants
the same thing...the best deal with the least
amount of hassle and aggravation.
The process of selling a home has changed. It
has become more complex than it used to be. That
means the process is not as easy for sellers as
it was five or ten years ago. But there are
certain steps that, when taken, give you the
best chance of successfully selling your home. |
|
| |
|
|
Step 1 - Realistically evaluate your home. |
|
|
Look at your home
through the eyes of a prospective buyer and
determine what needs to be fixed, painted,
cleaned up, repaired, and tossed out. |
|
| |
|
|
Step 2 - Get a realtor
|
|
|
Choosing a realtor
is possibly the most important step in the
decision to sell your home. As mentioned above,
the process of selling a home has become more
complex. Having a professional by your side that
can make the best deal for you in today's
complicated real estate climate is a must. |
|
| |
|
|
Step 3 - Set the price |
|
|
What is your home worth? All homes have a
price, sometimes more than one. There is
the price you would like to get, the value the
seller wants to offer, and the point in-between
where both sides agree to meet.

Step 4 - Market your home |
|
|
Marketing
strategies should be carefully designed to
factor in a variety of things such as the
uniqueness of the home, the current condition of
the real estate market, and interest rates.
-
Powerful marketing tools include holding an open house and
showing your home online and in print. |
|
| |
|
|
Step 5 - Sell It |
|
|
Selling a home
involves a full spectrum of personal and
business concerns. Plus it can be complex with
people looking at your home, documents to sign,
and negotiations to handle. Preparation is the
key for success. |
|
|
What is an
acceptable offer?
What is a reasonable counter offer?
How do you negotiate? |
|
| |
|
|
Step 6 - Close |
|
|
Whew! It's over! A buyer was found.
A price was agreed on. You are "home
free", as they say. Not necessarily.
-
Ahead of you are some of the most complex
aspects of the real estate transaction.
The sale agreement sets not only the price of
the home but some important terms and conditions
of the sale. |
