I believe there are two areas of concern that should be addressed by serious house sellers in today's Real Estate market. In fact, doing these two things along with keeping competitive pricing at the very top of the list, can do wonders in helping to produce a buyer for your house.
First, if you have been one of many regular readers of my blogs, then you know that I am a true believer in Sellers having their home inspected before listing it for sale. In this market, having an Inspection by an independent, licensed Home Inspection Company can do several things to aid you in the selling process. Most important, is if you have your house inspected and areas of concern develop, you can tend to the corrections, defects, repairs before listing your house, "For Sale".
I've discovered that most often the repairs and upgrades are minimal. It can be a loose fitting on the faucet in the shower, a stairway that needs to be made safe or perhaps something simply brought up to code. To have a copy of the inspection report available to serious buyers can bring about peace of mind and a higher level of confidence in the seller. You see, for serious buyers, not knowing is not better. They want to know what is real.
Second, purchase a Home Warranty that conveys with the sale of the property. This gives a potential buyer added needed assurance in the purchase of your house. It says, "If something goes wrong, I want you to be able to get it fixed with minimal effort and expense."
Doing these two things for a purchaser may just help to sell your house faster giving both you and the buyer much needed peace at the end of the day when the selling and buying process is complete.
