When your "home" becomes a "house for sale".

By
Real Estate Agent with Blake Rickels Group, Realty Executives 302690

You purchased your home most likely, because you loved it. You put your heart and soul into decorating it, every inch having its own significant meaning, and thought behind every decorative detail.  You may have gotten married in it, brought home your first child, or experienced a loss that makes it feel like it's an intricate part of your life within it's walls.

 

So when the time comes to relocate, the decision can be one of mixed emotions; excitement and sadness, anticipation and anxiety...   What can make those feelings even more amplified, is when your realtor comes in to your home and "assesses it", or basically tells you everything they think needs to be changed.

 

One thing to remember in a situation like this, the home you have, is transitioning to become a house that is for sale. The family photos, the rearranged furniture, the personal touches through out the house? Those were yours.  We want the house to appeal to someone else.  When we give suggestions, it is based off a vast amount of knowledge, research, and statistical reporting in regards to what sells. And, selling your home is our priority.  

 

We understand that it is an emotional time for you, the seller, but we want you to know that every thing we do, every step of the way, is to achieve the same end goal that you had when you signed us.  In addition, we understand that sometimes you may receive feedback from a potential buyer that crushes your spirit because something you love about your home, was something they didn't care for in the house.

 

As a realtor who puts people first, I personally want to reassure you that your home will be my top priority, and I am here for you every step of the way, which is why we are the "name" friends recommend.

Blake Rickels - Great advice and information for any prospective seller - your home and memories are not what you are selling - you are selling a house!
