Tips that will get your Stark County home sold fast and for money!

Thinking about selling?  Here are 5 ideas that will help get your home sold.

Tip # 1.  The first thing is choosing a Real Estate Consultant who is familiar with the Canton community, and surrounding local areas. Ask friends and family to refer you to their Real Estate Consultant.   

Tip # 2.  Price the house correctly at market value. Your Real Estate Consultant will share with you comparable active, and sold listings that are similar to yours in square footage, style, bedrooms and neighborhood.  This statistical data will help you price the house correctly. Remember an agents job is to market the property, not to sell it. If it is not priced right, all the marketing in the world will not sell an overpriced listing. Remember the correct listing price is not what you need to get out of it, or how much was spent fixing it up. Buyers do not care. 

Tip# 3. Don't make it difficult to show. You've got to be able to get people into your home when the call comes in.  Don't hang around for the showing, don't ask for 48 hours notice, do let the agent put a For Sale sign in the yard.  Don't make the agent be there for all showings.

Tip #4. Don't leave money on the table.  Repair/Replace anything that's leaking, dripping, missing, chipped, burned out, worn out, or broken. Once you've lived with "stuff" for a while, you don't even see it anymore.  Buyers however will notice them right away.

Tip #5.  Remove clutter from every counter, closet, desk drawer and room. Clean every surface, carpet, draperies, windows and cabinets doors.  Power wash refinish or paint the outside and deck.  Pack up items and collectibles that reflect your personal taste. This includes your salt and pepper shakers, and too many photos of your family.

Your home needs to be in shape from the time you put it on the market.  Don't have repairs in progress.  You'll get the best price and the quickest sale for a house that is turnkey
