This is your chance to own an absolutely fabulous home!!!
Here are a few keys that could help you sell your faster!!! There are plenty of things that we as Realtors should be doing, but there are also things that need to be done on your end as well. These are just a few of the things that could help you sell your house a bit faster!
Price. Price is the key to all hearts. Have your Realtor do a CMA, and see what has sold, what has been removed from the market, and what is listed actively on the market right now. You don't want to put your house on the market at $269,000 when the last 4 homes that have sold that are very similar to yours have sold for $225,000. Likewise if a house like yours has been sitting on the market for over 150 days at $265,00. Competitevly price your home to sell.
Clean & Declutter. Put dirty clothes away, out of sight. Put dishes in dishwasher. Make your beds. Take down personal photos, and if you have a lot of nick-nacks, start packing them up! You are trying to sell your house anyway, so why not start the packing a little early! Make the beds, fix the pillows on the couch. Be ready to show your house at any given moment.
Tidy up the outside. You know what they say "don't judge a book by its cover" but by all means, most people do anyway. They look at the outside of a home, with no landscaping, a shutter hanging by a thread, and a screen with a big hole in it, & the grass hasn't been cut in over 2 weeks, & they think "well.... if they can't keep up with the outside, then there is no way they are keeping up with the inside". So keep your grass cut, maybe add a little touch of landscaping (don't over do it), and make sure all of the shutters, siding, window screens, etc are in working order. & don't forget to spray the weed killer! Make your home desirable and people will desire it.
You have to understand that sometimes it is the little things like these that could help sell your home. If potential buyers can picture themselves living in your home, can picture their furniture, and their belongings in your home... then they can see themselves buying that home. If buyers can drive up to your home and say wow, this home is taken care of on the outside, and go inside and see the same thing, then they are going to feel at ease & know that this home was loved and cared for. This is going to make your home stand out to other sellers who have not taken the time to do these such things, which is going to make these buyers remember your house!

Call Terri Favata to Schedule your showing today!!! (302) 242-1782!!!!
Let’s face it; if your house is on the market, you WANT it to sell. You don’t want it to sit there for months and months without any showings, any offers, or no one showing any interest. You can’t always blame this on your Realtor, because it may not be their fault.
What I want to talk about today is the dos and don’ts of today’s market. Just a few tips that may help you sell your home just a little bit quicker.
DO price your home accordingly. We all know what you would “like” to get out of your home, but in today’s market that may be unreasonable. Have your Realtor do a CMA so you are educated on what homes are going for in your area!
DON’T overprice your home thinking that everyone will be interested in it, because it is that much better than everyone else’s home. Sure you have a great home, but if it is overpriced from the door, people may not even stop to look at it. This will not be your Realtors fault if they can not get anyone grabbing at it. Overpricing your home is not going to sell it.
DO make sure that the outside appeal is just as nice as the inside appeal. A lot of people look at homes on the internet or just go out driving to look for homes before they ever come in contact with a Realtor to actually schedule showing to see your home. Make sure you are grabbing the consumer’s attention from the first picture or that first drive by.
DON’T leave unused cars, trash, work equipment, etc. at your house if you do not have to have it there. The nicer your home looks on the outside the more chances you have to reel in a consumer. As much as we say “don’t judge a book by its cover” most people do, remember that!
DO keep your house ready to show at any given moment. That means beds made, dirty clothes in hiding, dishes put away. It’s tough, but people want to look at a clean house. If they see you live like a slob, are they going to think you take care of your home? No. Even if it isn’t that dirty, there is a certain standard that consumers expect to see when they are looking at homes.
DON’T keep personal items out on display. People walk into your home imagining if they could live there. Seeing your pictures or personal affects takes away from there dream.
DO listen to your Realtor when they talk to you. Believe it or not, we do know a bit about the Real Estate Market. We are not trying to steer you, or push you in a direction you don’t want to go. We just want you to be educated, and expectant of what may come in the future. Don’t take it personally; we are just doing our job. More importantly, we WANT to sell your home!
DON’T listen to your aunt, cousin, sister, neighbor, etc about what you should do with YOUR home (unless they are in the Real Estate business too). A lot of people form their opinions from things that either happened to them, the news, or what other people have told them. They are not the professionals, we are. We want to help you, so let us!
** There are more details that I could give you, but I don’t want to flood everyone’s brain on a Monday morning! If you would like anymore tips, please feel free to contact me today!!!! **
Many consumers here us say "Now is the time to BUY", but some consumers have no idea why. If you are one of them, look no further! Your answers are all right here!!!!
Interest Rates are at record lows!!!! With good qualified buyers, you are sure to get a great rate!
First time home buyers are being given up to $8000 in tax credit!
You are getting more house for your money these days!!!!
There is a lot of inventory to choose from!
If you are thinking about buying a home, talk with a REALTOR today! We are professionals who are here to help you, educate you, and serve you!!!
