If you need to sell your home in today's market then there are some very important things you the Homeowner should do.
Contrary to what the media is slinging which represents the overall real estate market in the country, homes in Essex county are still selling. Your home can be sold in this market if your home is priced below all of it's competition and is cleaner, neater and better matintained.
Essex County is considered to be a market in decline (declining market) which means bank appraisers must take that into consideration when they determine the value .It also means the strength of the buyer's downpayment and credit is very important.
Sellers who are unrealistic with their price and who are unwillng to do what it takes to sell their home in terms of repairs and curb appeal might as well stay in their homes for the next six or seven more years. Realtor or no realtor it just is not going to happen.
The role of a professional realtor is now more important than ever to find and make sure the buyer is qualified, using a reputable institution for financing and to negotiate best price and terms on your behalf. Selecting a realtor is not the hard part but when you do make sure you listen to their advice.
If you think you know more then sell the home yourself. Why on earth you you hire a person and then ignore the advice your paying for.
