Home Selling Tips
Need some home selling tips?
You’re thinking about putting your home on the market and you want to make sure you’re going to get the best return on your investment. These home selling tips should help!
Selling your home is second nature for me since I’ve been doing this for over 20 years, but I see nervous sellers all the time. And of course, you’re probably nervous and it’s normal. It’s a big deal!
Let’s talk about curb appeal 🌻
This is so important because it’s the first impression your buyer will have when they arrive at your home. 🏡
The best thing that you could do is either rent a power washer or hire someone to wash off the years of dirt off your driveway and your sidewalk and your home. You’ll also want to pay attention to the front door. 🚪
As an agent, it takes me some time to get to the door, open the lock box, and get everyone in the house. So this gives the buyer a pretty long opportunity to take a look at the entryway while they’re waiting. So just take a moment to make sure there isn’t any peeling paint on the door or cobwebs around the lights.
Our next home selling tip is to work with your agent in staging your home. 🛋
82% of buyers’ agents said that a staged home makes it easier for buyers to visualize themselves living in it. Also, staging will help a home stand out against the competition by showcasing the best features of your home to any perspective buyer. Research shows that professionally staged homes can sell for as much as 10% more than homes that aren’t staged.
Now that we’ve got your home all ready and beautiful, our next home selling tip is to want to get professional photos of it. 📸
According to the National Association of Realtors, 93% of buyers used an online website to search for their home. Professional pictures are a must when you prepare your home for sale.
Now that your home is a ready for buyers, you must have a showing plan. Buyers and their agents may request a showing at your home at any time so you have to be prepared. Until your home is under contract, it’s important to be able to leave your home at a moment’s notice. A few things you could do is plan simpler meals with easy cleanup, make plans for some outdoor activity. Also find a place to bring your pets during showings. 🐶 🐱 Maybe find a family member or a really good friend that can take care of them for a little bit.
These home selling tips will help you in selling your home faster and for more money. For more information, feel free to reach out to us. And remember, make it a great home selling and buying day!
