6 Steps to Selling Your Home
While it may seem like a simple task to some, especially after watching so many of those home and garden shows on HGTV and the likes. Just fix up the place with a little paint and slap on the for sale sign, viola! Instant success, right? No, not really. While the television reality shows about real estate look simple, getting the results are not that easy. Think about the many, many, many production assistants, writers, builders, film crews that make it all happen. Ah, yes, there is a lot more involved in preparing a home for sale. Here is a simple video that breaks down the process:
Here is the simple breakdown of the video:
Step One: Hire Me
The selling process begins with calling me. Together we can determine how quickly you need to sell and how much you want to net from the sale.
Step Two: Price it Right
Getting top dollar often means pricing aggressively when the house first hits the market. Homes that sit on the market day after day, after day, can ultimately leave money on the table and not in the pocket of the seller. A 'price it right' mindset sells homes faster.
Step Three: Stage the House
Because you never get a second chance to make a first impression, having an agent with a professional stager available to you is a big benefit. After all, it could save you time and money on the market. It is a known fact that staged homes sell faster.
Step Four: Neogtiate the Offer
There is an art to negotiating and it is critical to your sale that you have an agent that takes the art seriously and is intent on mastering the skill.
Step Five: Move Out
A simple step that may not be easy on your back until you remember that it was the goal, after all.
Step Six: Closing
That's when you receive the proceeds from the sale and move into the next phase of your life. It's time to enjoy it!
