Today's turbulent real estate market means the days of selling Lakewood Ranch homes without planning or preparation are a distant memory for most people. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket, because there is competition and buyers are not always in a hurry like they once were. To sell your house quickly, staging and well-thought-out marketing plans are now necessities - not luxuries.
Do you know how to best present your property? What are the most effective ways to get buyers in the door? Using the tips and techniques below, you can begin to emerge from your rabbit hole and quickly move on to your next home with as much money in your pocket as possible.
Selling techniques for Lakewood Ranch homes:
- Price it Right - No amount of marketing or staging will help if your property is overpriced. For most people, it's hard to look at their home objectively. Compare it to other properties for sale in your neighborhood, and take into account square footage, upgrades, location, and amenities, as well as, current market trends.
· Develop a Marketing Plan - You have to decide the best and most cost-effective way to get potential buyers in your house. Rarely is a newspaper ad or an Internet posting enough. Today's competitive real estate environment requires more aggressive techniques.
. Stage your Home - You want your home to appear its best every time a potential buyer comes to see it. If buyers see dirt and stains, they might begin to wonder about how diligently the rest of the property has been maintained. De-clutter and depersonalize. Turn on all your lights and open all the blinds to make your house appear as light and open as possible. For open houses, take the extra time to add fresh flowers and have something baking in the oven.
