Here are four things sellers should understand about today’s market to make their homes as saleable as possible:
- Time and time again, we find that real estate pricing is very local. That means real estate professionals and homeowners need to closely examine comparables. We have to see what nearby properties have sold for in the past three months. We also look at the competition and what's under agreement. The bottom of the market is probably behind us, but it's hard to know how much your home will sell for today until we study trends in your home's "micro-market".
- Online marketing works. Therefore it's important to get high-quality property pics online.
- Don't wait for a home inspection. Fix what you can and disclose what you can't. Every home has problems, but disclosing quirks and problems builds trusts and makes selling a property go smoothly. When the buyer discovers defects, there are last-minute re-negotiations, cold feet and sometimes the deal explodes.
- There is no more cost-effective marketing than cleaning your home. By "clean" we mean clean, clean, super-clean: A clean and clutter-free property makes potential buyers likely to pay more.
Listing your home for sale in {Location_Name}
Listing a home for sale involves a bit more than simply putting a sign out on the lawn and waiting for a buyer. When you decide to list your home in {Location_Name}, it’s wise to work with a real estate agent who can take you through the process. A Nesbitt Realty agent will take the time to carefully walk through the home with you. Our Realtor will go over what you can do to improve the property for a quicker sale and a better asking price. Our Realtor will go over the comparable sales in your area and suggest the best listing price. Once you’ve agreed on the asking price, we will sign an agreement with Nesbitt Realty that lays out the details, including commissions, duration, and more. Nesbitt Realty will take professional photographs throughout the home, and then list the property on the MLS. Our marketing will drive home buyers to you ensuring a quick sale at the highest possible price. [More about listing your home for sale with Nesbitt Realty]-
