Are you ready to take the first step towards selling your home? There are several things to consider when you have made the decision to put your home on the market. Pre-listing Home Inspection
Consider hiring a professional to perform a pre-listing home inspection on your home before it goes on the market. The inspection will identify any hidden issues or defects before the buyer does. It can also provide you with list of key items or other maintenance improvements that require attention prior to the home being listed. A pre-listing home inspection can be beneficial when it comes to pricing your home, marketing, negotiating, and dealing with post-sale legal issues. You may also want to consider having a pre-listing appraisal to determine the market value of the home for lending purposes. Price it right
Competitively pricing your home is one of the most critical aspects for a successful sale. Over-pricing will reduce buyer interest by making competing homes look like better values. A home should be priced at its true market value and not by what you wish to net from the sale. Cleaning for equity
Homebuyers are attracted to clean, spacious, attractive homes. Brighten up the place and remove all clutter from counter tops, tables, and rooms. Scrub down your house from top to bottom. Don't neglect an area thinking a buyer won't notice it....they will. Clean it and fix it! Pay attention to curb appeal. It is what will turn a "drive-by" traffic into "stop by" traffic. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
