Selling? Here Are Some Tips!

Have you decided to capitalize on this season of low-inventory by listing your home for sale? Because buyers are desperate for quality listings, if you heed these few simple steps then you’re sure to attract buyers (and offers!) in droves. 

Staging

First you’ll want to be sure to declutter and stage the home. By removing personal items and organizing the space, sellers can create a clean and inviting atmosphere for potential buyers.

Minor Repairs

To avoid getting dinged on the home inspection, identify small things around the home that could stand to be fixed. Fixing leaky faucets, squeaky doors, or broken tiles may seem small, but they can greatly impact a buyer’s impression of the property.

Deep Clean

Sellers should thoroughly clean their homes, including often-neglected areas like baseboards, carpets, and windows. A clean home not only looks more appealing but also gives the impression that the property has been well-maintained. Hiring a service may even yield a return on the investment!

Curb Appeal

Don’t forget the first impression! Sellers should pay attention to the exterior of their homes, ensuring the lawn is well-maintained, the front door is in good condition, and any necessary repairs are made to fences, gates, or pathways.

Pricing

Pricing the home correctly is of utmost importance. Overpricing can deter buyers, while underpricing may lead to missed opportunities. Researching the market and working with a real estate agent can help sellers determine the optimal price for their home.

Flexibility

The last tip is to be flexible with showings. Sellers should be accommodating to potential buyers’ schedules to maximize the number of showings and increase the chances of a successful sale.

By keeping these key points in mind, you may be able to avoid common pitfalls and increase your chances of selling the homes quickly and at a desirable price!
