How To Get Your Groove On To Sell A Home For The Most Money
I’ve been selling homes for 10 yearsand I’ve never had one Seller tellme that they really don’t care howmuch money they could make in thesale of their home. In fact, one ofthe first questions that a home sellerwill ask me is just how to sell yourhome for the most money. So justhow can you sell your home for themost money? It does involve gettingyour groove on to do it and today’sarticle, does just that; it focuses onhow homeowners can get in thegroove to sell their homes for themost money. Where do we begin?
Make up your Mind
So important. When you want to sellyour home for the most money thefirst thing you’re going to want to dois actually make-up your mind thatyou really do want to sell your home.No hesitation. No second thoughts.No regrets. Just do it as Nike hadsuccess with it’s famous 1988campaign, so too can any homeSeller when they decide to just do it.
Put in Charge an Effective RealEstate Agent
This means that you need to hire theright woman/man to do the job. Aproven, effective, accomplished,competent Real Estate Agent. Anegotiator. A communicator. Amarketer. A pricing expert. A localReal Estate market expert. Theemphasis is made here tounderstand the value in hiring the right Real Estate Agent. Make a poor decision and you won’t realize the mostmoney for your home or worst yet, you won’t sell your home and it will simply expire. Have you heard the horrors ofexpired listings? No homeowner wants the stigma of an expired listing.
Realize That it’s Going to Require Some Effort
When selling a home, make sure you complete your to-do list!
Selling a home is work and will require effort on your part. If you don’t want to put forth any effort, perhaps you wantto think twice about selling your home. Your home’s preparation of cleaning & fixing those little things you’ve beenmeaning to do, to being absent for home showings, your life like you had once known it as being pretty muchuninterrupted will now have to come to a halt. While you’re getting your groove on to sell a home, your actual daily,life groove will be thrown to the curb.
Be Prepared to Get a List ofThings to Do
Groundwork is a must. You’ll likelyhave some homework from yourAgent who will let you know whatneeds to be done to get your homeready to sell. When your Agenttours your home, he/she will noticewhat needs to be done to get yourhome in selling condition if you wantto succeed at getting top dollar foryour home sale. Recommendationswill be made to get your home readyand at a minimum to do thefollowing:
1. clean until all the dirt, grime andsmells are gone
2. unclutter all rooms, counters,tabletops, closets andcupboards
3. arrange any room’s furniture ina pleasing, flowing manner
4. brighten rooms having all lightbulbs illuminated
5. highlight the rooms with theirintended purpose and not ahodge podge of what might be
6. pack up excess stuff and moveit out
7. have outside lawn andlandscaping nicely manicured.
8. clean front door to have it freeof dirt and insect webs
9. hide the trash and recycle cans
10. repair and replace rotted woodnear roof line or any door frames
11. start this and I’m sure we can add a few more things to do, but this is a good starting place
Get Your List of Things to Do Done
Get in the groove when selling a home and watch the buyer’s flow in!
Having a to do list and not completing it will drops thousands of dollars from the price of your home sale. Get it done.No excuses. If you’re not the repairing type then hire the appropriate support.
Price Your Home to Sell
Have an analysis of your home’s local Real Estate market completed by your Real Estate Agent. This includesreviewing “comparable” recent nearby home sales, pending home sales and active homes for sale that have beenthoroughly analyzed and how they compare to the home you’re selling. It’s also important that whenever possible,that the home’s price is positioned within a price point that will increase its chances for selling. Also important for theactual list price is to determine the inventory level of homes in your area and how long it’s taking for homes to sell inyour area. Evaluating all of these factors can provide you with an attractive list price that can win the attention ofBuyers, even driving up the final sale’s price where you’re having Buyers competing for your home.
Make Everything About Your Home Stand Out
A home’s appeal is highest at the onset of when it is first listed for sale. By the time you’ve gotten to this point youknow what is required of a home Seller to get in the groove. If you’ve followed the advice above, your home willcertainly stand out from the many other listings that are almost lifeless and run of the mill. Now is not the time toblend in.
Keep Your Home in Daily Tip TopShape
On your way out the door and youremember that you left your dirtydishes in the Kitchen sink. Oh well,you think, you’ll be better with ittomorrow. WAIT. TURN AROUND.GO BACK. Even if you have to belate to the office, clean up yourdishes. Never leave you homemessy and unkept. Never whenselling your home.
Be Keenly Aware of Buyer’sNeeds
This requires setting your home upfor the Buyer to imagine themselvesliving there. Once you decide to sellyour home, the home you onceknew as your home, must nowbecome a neutralized home;neutralized of your home’s familycollections, memories andtreasures. Don’t make it difficult for aBuyer to fancy themselves living inyour home.
What does this all boil down to?
Once you’re in the groove, theadrenaline of selling a home keeps
you moving towards the finish lineas you complete the requirements toselling a home for the most money.When you realize you’ve sold yourhome for top dollar, you’re happy.Money in your pocket. You followthe groove all the way to the bank!
