There are many factors that contribute to the sale of a home. To start your successful path to selling your home, follow these simple steps to make the best first impression and bring in the buyers.
1. Staging is very important. First impressions are lasting ones. As much as you love your home as it is, it is important for potential buyers to be able to envision themselves in the home. To bring out all of your home’s great design features you should consider staging. Remember that less is more and don’t underestimate the impression a well-staged home can make.
2. Set a fair market price. It’s not uncommon that a home owner values their home above market value. It is important to not let sentiment get in the way of putting your home on the market at a fair value. Talk with your agent and compare what you think your home is worth to what the agent thinks you should list your property at. Remember that the price your home enters the market at is the first impression it is going to give shoppers. Pricing is a strategy, so listen to your agent’s opinion. The right price (if only a couple thousand from your desired asking) can bring in many more buyers.
3. Fix up what needs attention. Small renovations can help you get much more for your home. When you put money into getting your home ready for market, more often than not you’ll reap the benefits of a more profitable sale. Ask your agent to make suggestions on what you could renovate to help your home’s showing potential. Simple and inexpensive improvements such as painting and re-grouting the shower will help your home look fresh and cared for.
