By
Real Estate Agent with RL Real Estate Group

Anyone looking to sell their home wants to make sure they get the best price possible. You don't want to end up losing money on your home simply because you weren’t prepared. You are dealing with a major investment, and it deserves serious research. Before you move forward with the home selling process, check out these helpful tips meant to help you feel prepared.

🗻Asking Price vs. Selling Price

There is an asking price and a selling price of a property. The asking price is the price a seller sets for the house. The selling price is what a buyer is willing to pay. A home seller might ask $100,000 for a property but end up selling it for $85,000. The key to success is making sure you set the asking price correctly from the start.

🏝Determine Your Home's Value

The best way to determine the value of your home is to have it appraised. You also want to compare your home with some of the other homes in the neighborhood. Find out what they are selling for and what the overall condition of their home is in relation to how yours looks. You don’t have to guess when it comes to home value. Your real estate agent provides a comprehensive home value that considers vital information like current market trends, any upgrades you’ve made, and community amenities. 

🛥How Your Real Estate Agent Can Help

A real estate agent is your best chance for a successful transaction. They have the knowledge and experience you need to make informed decisions. When it comes to marketing, they know which methods are most successful, and they can help you navigate the process with as little stress as possible

Choose a real estate agent who genuinely cares about your desires and needs. They should communicate at a high level, know the local area, and be trustworthy. Your real estate agent offers tips on home staging, sets up open houses, and negotiates on your behalf.

 🎠Set the Right Price from the Beginning

It's more important than ever that you set the right price on your home. Set the asking price too high and your property could sit on the market and become stale. Set it too low and you could lose money on the sale. You want the asking price and the selling price to be as close as possible. The best thing you can do is to reach out to a real estate agent who can help walk you through the process and make sure you know the ins and outs of what’s involved. It might take some time and a little patience to get from sign in the yard to closing, but it's well worth it to move forward to the next adventure!
