Let's begin!
#1 Engage the best agent
The real estate agent is a great asset in your pocket in the selling process. With their knowledge they can help you sell quickly and at the price you are looking for. You can ask for help from your friends and family, but the biggest help and real help you can get from people who have this job as a profession and are experienced.
A good agent will be worth every cent you spend on it.
#2 Set the price
Your home or condo is worth what buyers are willing to pay. Therefore, you should think objectively about the value of your home. If you've lived in your home long enough to make memories, those sentimental attachments can cloud your judgment. So, stick to the facts as much as possible when estimating what price your home can sell for.
#3 Present your property properly
On the day you plan to photograph or record your property, make sure to:
- Clean every surface until it shines. You must polish your house and keep it clean during photography and visits.
- If you can refresh the colors of the walls, this can be expensive but can significantly increase the value of the house.
- Pay a professional to deep clean the furniture.
- Minimize clutter to maximize space.
#4 Survive visits
Shopping trips are difficult. If you're still living in the home you're trying to sell, these helpful tips can help you stay patient and sell your home.
Surprise visits always seem to happen when your house is a mess. Avoid last-minute panic by putting things back in their place after you've used them. This way, you will always be ready for guests.
If you have engaged an estate agent it is important that you are not present when the visit is made, your presence is only required when the price is negotiated.
#5 Negotiate and close the transaction
Negotiations between you (the seller) and the buyer begin with the initial offer. Your agent will help you have the basic knowledge of all the steps you need to go through to negotiate the price and close the transaction. Never sign a purchase agreement before you are clear about what is written on it.
Pay attention to the following details:
- Selling price
- Date of closing and transfer of ownership
- Special allowances for personal property, renovations and closing costs
- Unforeseen deadlines for financing the purchase and terms of payment
After you have signed the contract and completed the transaction:
- Don't wait until the last minute to pack
- Communicate with your buyer
- Be flexible because delays can damage the transfer process
The best way to have a great experience selling your home is to partner with a professional agent from Anem Real Estate. The right agent should guide you every step of the way without taking the wheel of the process. They should inform you but not overwhelm you.
