There is a tremendous amount of competition among buyers for homes today. With increasingly diminished inventories, buyers are forced to act quickly on a property. Sellers can do more to help maximize the sale of their home. Here are a few easy tips to help sellers and buyers alike.
1. Help buyers see themselves in your home. The tip here is simple - do not over clutter your home with too much of "your things". Allow the buyer to see their "things" on walls, coffee table and such. Let the buyer visualize the home as if they already lived there.
2. Keep it clean. Most buyers will arrange a time to view your home with your agent. Keep the house clean so that you can take advantage of opportunities to show your home daily. Have "all hands-on deck" to do a quick walk through each morning to pick up, straighten up, and clean up.
3. Show time. Do not make showing your home a difficult task. Give your agent latitude to schedule showings that will be convenient to both you, as the seller, and potential buyers.
4. Price it right. Sure, you want to maximize the profit potential on the sale of your home, but you do not want to make the price so high that it turns buyers off. Work with your listing agent to arrive at a market value for your home and stay competitive with your local market.
You can sell your home quickly and for maximum value if you apply these four easy tips.
