In part 1 we discussed some basic necessities you'll need when selling your home or condo. In part 2 we're going to take a closer look at some very common reasons and problems that sellers face when selling a property.
A property that is difficult to access is a nightmare for a buyer and agent. If a potential buyer is frustrated before they even see the house, they are not likely to buy it. Ensure that anything that may obstruct a buyer's ability to view your home is removed and the way to the door is clean. Rocky sidewalks, over grown trees, and anything that someone may trip or run into should be removed as soon as possible. It is also a good idea to use a lock box that is electronic, to make sure other Realtor's can show your home when you are away.
Location has a huge impact on how quickly your home will sell. If you are in a central location or an area with a good reputation then you can likely count on a smooth sale. If you are in an area that is not well known or further away it is going to be up to your Realtor to market the benefits of living in your area. How close you are to basic amenities like grocery stores, gas stations, and family basics like schools, parks (etc.) will have an impact on the sale of your home as well. Make sure to highlight features like: "well developed area", "quiet and restful"
Details count, for a lot! When you go to sell your home, have your personal Realtor come in and evaluate your property. 9 times out of 10 they will have a list of things you should do in order to sell your home quickly and for the price you want. Basic things that must be done no matter what are: give the walls a fresh coat of paint. If you do not have the time and can afford to have someone do it for you, then make sure to wash them very well. This makes one of the biggest cosmetic differences to your home. Things like carpet, tiles, even the grout between the tiles should sparkle without exception. A simple rule to follow is: if it can be cleaned it should be, and if can be cleaner or sparkle a little more than it should.
In the next installment of our miniseries, we will be taking a closer look at how to manage and deal with buyers and ways to overcome some buyer seller road blocks. - 28919
