How To Prepare And Sell Your Destin Florida Home For Top Dollar
Does your next life chapter take place away from Destin Florida? Perhaps selling outright makes better sense than keeping as a rental. Here are some times for getting your home ready to hit the market with a splash.
1) As Stephen Covey says, "begin with the end in mind-- What is your reason for selling (motivation), and how does selling your Destin Florida home fit into those plans?
2) Fix what is broken, replace what is missing-- Does the dishwasher leave more food grim than a disgruntled restaurant worker? Go ahead and have it serviced or replaced. Why not discount the home the cost of a dishwasher and call it a day? Buyers have a habit of asking for a larger concession than the actual cost to take into account the hassle.
3) Spruce up the curb appeal-- If the paint is faded on the shudders/front door go ahead and have them painted. Having a landscaper work their magic will do wonders for our marketing.
4) Don't go cheap on the photos-- In a second home/vacation market like Destin Florida many of the buyers live out of area. The photos allow your home to standout in front of the consumer. These MUST be done right.
5) Deep clean the home-- This task goes beyond the "I'm going to straighten up while the noodles boil." Have a professional do a deep cleaning. This should help with any lingering odors as well.
6) Price right from the start-- In a transitioning market overpriced lists do nothing but collect days (months really) on market.
