Ready ... Set ... Sell!
Selling a home can be a big task and it involves many different components to ensure a successful real estate transaction. To begin with, your home must be priced appropriately, prepared properly, and promoted effectively. Then, when prospective buyers are found, offer and counter-offers may need to be negotiated and appropriate terms and conditions must be put in place to ensure that you are fully protected. In short, the goal is that you will get the best possible contract for the purchase of your home.
You might be asking, "Can I sell my house in these challenging economic times?"
Absolutely! Despite what you might have seen on TV, heard on the radio or read in newspapers and magazines, there are people buying homes every week. If you request it, I can provide you with the exact number of homes sold in your neighborhood or town (free of charge with no strings attached).
Granted, there are fewer home buyers on the market today as compared to three or four years ago. But the bottom line is that there are homes being sold today! ...and you could be one of those successful sellers.
"How can I sell my house in this slow market?"
There are three basic steps to follow...
Step 1 - Set a selling strategy competitively. This is different from just settling on a selling price. A strategy is preparing a plan for protecting yourself from slow market "sharks" and still get top dollar for your property.
Step 2 - Stage your house. In a slow market you have more competition that ever before. These are the homes that are already for sale and competing with yours for a willing buyer. If buyers are not attracted to your house, they will buy a competing home, not yours. A "staging audit" can help you identify areas to make your house "saleable" and beat the competition.
Step 3 - Promote it effectively! The key word here is "effectively." Is your agent using proven modern marketing techniques? Read how sellers are affected by old marketing techniques -> click here for article.
Here is another important fact that shapes the marketing effectiveness of your house. Is your agent a part-time agent? Should you be concerned? You decide... - Part-Time agents may not be accessible to you as a full-time agent would.
- You may loose potential buyers because they cannot reach your listing agent.
- Part-timers may not be current in market trends, city ordinances, new laws, and other requirements.
- Selling your house is not their primary job! The time they spend marketing your house will be limited.
Every year I witness sellers struggle with the same questions and challenges, time and time again. That's why I have made these resources available to people like you. Avoid the struggles and pitfalls of those who have gone through it all before.
These free resources are yours for the asking ...
