When to paint and when to offer a credit to the new Buyer who may want to paint it their own color? This week i visited 2 homes that were for sale all winter and now have expired listings. The first had every interior room brightly painted a different color. There was an apple red, orange, brown and even a blue bathroom. The home owner was puzzled why her home did not sell while many in neighborhood had. One of this was buy me, which is why she called me to help her sell her Manchester NH area home.
The fact was clear that the interior colors were not inviting to all Buyers. Carefully after walking through the home I let her know what she could do to improve the chance of selling her home. She snapped that "she loved these colors" and it was here home. If this was the issue why did her other agent not tell her this?"
After a short talk she came to the realization that the old agent had not given her any tips to sell her home. The fact was she had not even seen them in 6 months since she listed.
We spoke about how I like the colors too, but not every buyer will. Having a neutral color appeals to nearly all buyers and will assist in selling the home. In the end she was offering a $10,000 credit for the buyer to paint, but none made any offers. When i told her a professional painter could paint her whole home for under $2500, she smiled. She is ready to sell and ready for me to sell it. She is going to move some unused furniture out and get the interior painted. She was so happy she called me and that i could explain to her how best to sell her home.
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS and the key to having a successful Home Sale can increase simply by choosing a better agent. The secret is, that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.
THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT
1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.
