Important Steps in Selling Your Home

If you hear around you about everything saying that real estate is bad, you should know that what may be bad for the sellers, it is going to be good for the buyers and now there are savvy buyers who are out and who try to take advantage of the market of the buyers. If you are looking to selling your home, you should consider the following.

Audit the agent for the online marketing:

Now, 92 percent of the home buyers are looking for their home hunt online. They are not going to get into the car and come to look for your home when the online listing is not compelling.  When you are selling your home, make sure that the listing has over 6 pictures since they are the ones that are likely to be viewed by the buyers compared to those that have fewer than 6 pictures.

While selling your home, you should involve your neighbors and let them know that you are selling.

They may tell the people they know who wanted to buy the house in the area or they may help you to look for the clients. This gives the opportunity for your neighbors to sell to the people they like.

Share the listing on Facebook:

Facebook is the best way to connect with people nowadays. In case you have 200 friends and they have their 200 friends, it is going to be the power of the network that you are looking to get the word out of the house.

Leave good stuff behind you:

People are already aware of the closing cost credit and they are common nowadays and the buyers will be expecting them always.  This means that it will be hard for them to distinguish your home from that of others. What may distinguish the home is to leave behind some extra items, especially the things that the average buyer is not expecting to get from you. For example, you may add a plasma screen TV and kitchen appliance.

Be better than the competition when it comes to your condition:

In different markets, many homes are low priced foreclosure or short sales. Like an individual homeowner, then you can compete using the conditions. You have to consider doing termite inspections before you tell people that you are selling your home and you should do all the repairs as needed.  It is the major selling point to advertise using low priced repair bill or non-existent pest bill. You have also to make sure that the handles, doorknobs, scratches, and nicks have been repaired before people come to see your home.

Stage exterior of the home:

you should stage the exterior using the fresh paint, the immaculate landscaping, and outdoor furniture and sets up the Sunday brunch under the deck vignette. Plan to make your home accessible: the homes which do not get shown, are not going to be sold.  There are short sales listings and many foreclosures that are vacant and they can be shown any time of the day.  It should not be difficult for the agent to be able to enter your home.
