While the author specializes in Moses Lake Real Estate, the information presented here applies to all locations.
MAKING SMART PRICING DECISIONS
Proper pricing of your house is one of the most critical decisions you will make when selling your property.Some sellers desire to price their house based upon return on their investment, while others determine price based on what they require in order to purchase their new house. Location, condition, and accessibility are three other variables that affect the price of a property.
It is crucial to price your home correctly from the beginning because it will not sell if it is overpriced. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can reduce the price later because you will have already lost many potential buyers.A committed seller keeps the price low enough to remain attractive.
Existing conditions in your local real estate market will strongly influence the amount buyers are willing to purchase their home for. A professional Realtor will be able to guide you through the pricing pitfalls with a written market analysis that includes the selling prices for similar homes in your area.
PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR BUYER INSPECTION
The movers have just left your house totally empty, except for years worth of dust and grime. If you don’t have the time or energy to clean your house for the new owners, you should consider paying a professional to do the job.
Before arriving at the closing table, your buyers will have a final chance to inspect the house to check the fixtures, appliances and mechanical systems.Their goal is to make certain the house’s overall condition is in keeping with the sales contract.Although they may really want the house, they may be “worried” about the sale.
It’s the small things that trigger last-minute indicision, so your best approach is to make sure the house looks fantastic, everything works properly, and all the agreed-upon repairs are completed.Paying close attention to pre-walkthrough preparation will help produce a more relaxed atmosphere for the close.
SHOWING YOUR HOUSE
Ideally, a Real Estate Agent likes the properties they sell to appear flawless. However, even the most impeccable housekeepers find it difficult to keep the house in prime showing condition during the entire time the home is on the market.
Keeping beds perpetually made, dishes washed, bathrooms spotless and closets neatly organized is a lot of work. Is it worth it? Yes – if you want your house to sell in a reasonable amount of time and for the best price.Buyers often interpret normal clutter as a house that hasn’t been maintained.” They see bathtub rings and think “plumber’s bills.” They see lint under the refrigerator and grease on the electric range and imagine having to replace all of the appliances.
When people make their final selection, they may be going on emotion and adrenaline rather than imagination.You can assist your agent by reducing the degree of imagination buyers will require to fall in love with your house.
