I probably shouldn’t tell you this but here is the secret sauce for maximizing the sale price of your house. Hi, I am Sherri Echols, Broker Associate with eXp Realty. I’ve seen these 5 things work over and over for getting great offers. It can work for you too.
Clean and Declutter A sparkling clean, clean smelling, and clutter free home is way more appealing to potential buyers. Also dirty windows show up in pictures, just sayin.
Not many people want to buy a house that comes with a long honey do list, not for full price anyway. Make all the necessary repairs before putting your home on the market. Make a list of low cost repairs that need to be done like fixing leaky faucets, patching holes in the walls, cleaning or replacing grout in the kitchen and bathroom. You may want to consider doing a home inspection upfront to see what significant work might need to be done so there are no surprises. If you are so busy you don’t have time for repairs, we can help, just say the word.
Enhance your Curb Appeal. First impressions are important so make sure your home’s exterior looks amazing. Trim overgrown bushes, lay mulch in flower beds, plant some posies, power wash the house and all concrete, and paint the front door if it needs a facelift.
Stage your home. Staging can help potential buyers envision themselves living in your home. Staged homes also sell faster and for quite a bit more than non-staged homes. We can help with this too if you aren’t an interior designer.
Price it Right. In today’s market as a seller, you need to be competitive in your list price so you do not become stale on the market. DO NOT insist on over pricing so you have room to negotiate. You’ll lose tens of thousands of dollars. It works better to price it reasonably and make it look great. Let the seller’s market take care of you, beautiful homes in great condition with fair prices always sell faster, and we are still getting multiple offers on the best ones. This is why it is so important to work with an experienced real estate professional. Find one you trust and let them guide you.
