HOW Do I SELL my Home?

Reblogger Melissa Marro
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams First Coast Realty - The Marro Team

This is a beginning to the process of selling a home. I love where Scott says that not all agents are created equal. It's just true. Don't assume that one agent is as good as the next, or that a discount broker is actually less expensive.

When selling your home you have to understand that the net costs (after all the expenses have been taken out) is the number you should be most concerned with. You need an agent who will heavily market your home so it is sold at a higher price and as quickly as possible (which will help not only avoid additional carrying costs, but price reductions).

Most blogs stress tips for first time buyers but a call this morning from a frantic home ownerin the Manchester NH area asked "HOW Do I SELL my Home?" I specialize in Listing and Selling homes so I sat up straight and was more than happy to answer.   As a Leading Agent here in the New Hampshire area, I strive to make the Selling process a wonderful experience for my clients by working with them through ALL steps of the Selling process. If you are looking to SELL YOUR PROPERTY there are some steps you can take in order to make your selling process easier. The one things Sellers are demanding these days is Service.

You will want to hire a LISTING AGENT who is FULL TIME and WELL EXPERIENCED with your type of home and with the area your property is located in.

a. Why FULL TIME: You should choose a Full Time Agent because their sole job and focus should be on Selling Homes. The key to home sales is being able to be available in that short notice that a buyer may give to see your home and write an offer before they move on to the next home becuase they could not get into yours.

b. Why FULL SERVICE: With discount brokers you may get discount services. Nothing beats a full service marketing program working to market your home, attract potential buyers and get your home sold.

c. ASK QUESTIONS? Do they show they answer their own phone? Do they return email and voice messages? Do they show their own listings? Do they provide feedback after showings? Bigger is not better, just bigger. It is important to have an active agent who provides that personal service than to want a big national company just for their name.

In conclusion Selling your home can be a wonderful process. Avoiding agents who do not work with you through each step of the selling process is a good start. Most home owners whose homes do not sell during the first 3 months of the listing term do not sell because of price or a lack of attention from your agent. By having a Local agent who works full time, offers full service and knows yoru market, you can get the advanatge of being properly priced, properly marketed and with me, in most cases sold quickly and the best obtainable price.
