The first step to getting a sold sign in your yard is getting an offer. IMPROVE YOUR ODDS OF GETTING AN OFFER:
- Price it right. Set a realistic price. Overpricing will likely result in your home sitting on the market and losing interest with potential buyers.
- Prepare for visitors. Get your house market ready at least two weeks before you begin showing it. A prepared home is clean, de-cluttered and staged just right. For additional tips to prepare your home – Prepare Your Home To Sell
- Be flexible about showings. It’s often disruptive to have a house ready to show at the spur of the moment. But the more flexible you can be about letting people see your home, the sooner you’ll find a buyer.
- Anticipate the offers. Decide in advance what price and terms you’ll find acceptable. This will allow you to respond to offer quicker while the buyer is still excited.
- Don’t refuse to drop the price. If your home has been on the market for more than 30 days without an offer, you should be prepared to at least consider lowering your asking price.
These are just a few ingredients to improve your selling odds. Working with a qualified REALTOR® will also aid in the process. A qualified agent will be able to present you with a true market value of what your home should be listed at and that should hopefully eliminate the need for #5.
