Fort Rucker PCS Selling Your Home

The best chance for selling your property Fort Rucker Real Estate is within the first 90 Days. Studies show that the longer a property stays on the market, the less the seller will net.

The Enterprise Real Estate Market is alive and well. We do have a buyer's market and a lot of cautious home buyers. The Fort Rucker Military PCS season is upon us.

 Interest rates are at all time lows. Now is the time to buy. If you are looking for a great deal there are plenty of them to be found. 

 Below are 6 main reasons to accomplishing this goal.

Pricing:      Price it right the first time, don't price it to high hoping some fool will come along. There are a lot of over priced homes on the market don't let yours become one of them.

It is very important to price your property at a competitive market value right when you list it. The Fort Rucker Real Estate market is so competitive that even over-pricing by a few thousand dollars could mean that your house will not sell.

  Here are reasons for pricing your property at the market value right from the start in order to net you the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time.

 An overpriced home: 

 Minimizes offers, Lowers showings, Lowers agent response, and Limits financing, Limits qualified buyers, Nets less for the seller. Be realistic; Price it right the first time.

Most marketing is done when we decide on what price to list your home. If you are unwilling to list at current market value, you would be better off not putting it on the market at this time. Don't just list with the agent who agrees to list your home at the highest listing price.

Cleanliness :

Most people are turned off by even the smallest amount of dirt or odor when buying a home. Sellers lose thousands of dollars because they do not adequately clean. If your house is squeaky clean, you will be able to sell your home faster and net hundreds, if not thousands of dollars more.

If you are planning on moving, why not get rid of that old junk now so that your house will appear larger? Make more space. Odors must be eliminated especially if you have dogs, cats, or young children in diapers or if you are a smoker. You may not notice the smell, but the buyers do!

 Most agents have a difficult time communicating to their sellers about odor. If it stinks it won't sell. If it smells bad it probably is going to require a discount.  If you employ an agent to get the most amount of money for you, please don't take offense if he must confront you about odor problems. 

 Easy Access:

Top selling agents will not show your home if both the key and access are not readily available. They do not have time to run around town all day picking up and dropping off keys. They want to sell homes! The greatest way to show a house is to have a key available or a Lockbox.

 When your home is being shown, please do the following: 

 Keep all lights on, Keep all drapes and shutters open, let the sunlight shine in. Keep all doors unlocked, so buyers can see what is behind closed doors. Leave soft music playing, Take a short walk with your children and pets, or make arrangements to not be around. Let the buyer be at ease and let the agents do their job.

 Carpet & Paint

Paint is your best improvement investment for getting a greater return on your money. Paint makes the whole house smell clean and neat. If your house has chipped paint, exposed wood, or the paint looks faded, it is time to paint.

 If your carpet is worn, dirty, outdated, or an unusual color, you may need to seriously consider replacing it. Many houses do not sell because of this problem. Don't think that buyers have more money than you have to replace carpet. They don't. They simply buy elsewhere where they do not have to fix and replace.

 Front Yard / Curb Appeal

Your front yard immediately reflects the inside condition of your house to the buyer. People enjoy their yards. Make certain that the trees are trimmed so the house can be seen from the street. Have the grass mowed, trimmed and edged. Walkways should be swept. Clean away debris. Remove parked cars. Have an antique abandoned car in your yard, get rid of it. This all adds to curb appeal. If a buyer doesn't like the outside, he/she may not stop to see the inside.
