There are a series of steps you need to take in the process of selling your home. These steps are necessary for you to succeed on selling it quickly and for the most amounts of money and it will also help you in the selection of the people that will help you sell.
Step 1) create a file for this process, date it.
Step 2) start by looking at your competition (other homes in your area). Try to attend as many open houses in your neighborhood, Soynut butter keep a flyer of all the homes you saw in the file. You need to find the best and worst home in the neighborhood; you should be working with at least 10 homes. Based on this information where do you feel you are in terms of condition and price? Be as objective as possible. What could you do to your home to improve its appeal?
Step 3) Take pictures of your home and get them printed. Most large pharmacy can print them within minutes on paper. Many times seeing the pictures on print will reveal things that you might take for granted. One of the things we lose after living in a place for many years is perspective on "first impressions". I once walked in a house that had velvet purple wall paper and a purple rug. Most buyers can't see beyond what they are presented. The owner didn't see anything wrong with it. Colors, design, furniture should be as neutral as possible as to appease as many buyers as possible.
Step 4) Start talking to agents in your area. Google them to see if they have internet presents. Select a few and set up meetings. See who has a pulse on what is going on. Review their marketing plans. Avoid anyone that will only place on the property on the multiple listing services. In today's market you need someone that thinks outside of the box. Do they have a website? Is the website page ranked? How much traffic do they receive? Ask them to provide you with a to-do list. What do they recommend? Some agents offer a free stager to come in a give you recommendations.
5) Once you have done all your due diligence set a date for go. As your agent the best time to sell. They should have information regarding the best time. For example in my market in the multimillion dollar mark most properties don't sell in the third quarter. On the other hand 49% sell in the last quarter.
Well, I hope this has been of some help. Your property will sell in a timely manner if you follow these steps. The thing you always want to avoid is the listing to sit and become stale. For additional information please click on link.
