Important Considerations When Selling
Step 1: Reason for Selling
It is often more emotional to sell a home than to buy one, and the reason for selling your home may be a determining factor in the urgency of the sale. The urgency may also have an effect on the price of the property.
During our selling program presentation, we will take into consideration these factors that can influence the sale of your home
– Price
– Location
– Condition of property
– Size
– Design / style
Step 2: The Cost of Selling
It is very important to first calculate the expenses that may be incurred while selling your home. This knowledge is absolutely necessary because it helps you to determine a good price for the house, as well as the potential profit that you can realize.
The cost of selling your home may include things like commission to be paid to the agent, taxes, advertising costs or specific reports, such as a property inspection.
Step 3: Price
The most important factor when putting your home on the market to sell is setting the right price. The price at which your property is marketed can make or break the deal.We will ensure this topic is well explained and comparables provided.
Over-pricing of the property may result in:
1- A smaller buyers’ pool
2- A prolonged stay on the market that will result in lower offers being submitted
​
Under-pricing of the property may result in:
1- You losing money on your investment
2- A buyer offering an even lower amount due to a negative perception of the property or are
Step 4: Location
Although you cannot do anything about the location of your property, it plays a very important part in the marketability of your home. So, it is important to take the following into consideration:
1- Is your property priced in relation to other offers in your area?
2- What type of neighborhood is your property located in – well-established, up-and-coming, transitional?
3- Is your property located in an urban or rural area?
Step 5: Condition of Your Property
The condition of your property is always a factor in how quickly your home sells.
It’s a fact: Acquiring the highest market value and elevating your home above the others in the same price range often comes down to first impressions. Here are some inexpensive ways to maximize your home’s curb appeal:
1- Keep the grass cut and yard clutter to a minimum.
2- Apply fresh paint to any wooden fences and your front door.
3- Clean windows inside and out.
4- Wash or paint your home’s exterior.
5- Ensure gutters and other exterior fashions are family attached.
Step 6: Staging
Did you know well-placed furniture can open up rooms and make them seem larger than they are? Or, that opening drapes and blinds and turning on lights make a room seem bright and cheery? It’s true, which is why staging your home to look its absolute best is an important factor in the selling process. We will go over some inexpensive ways to highlight your home’s best features as well.
Step 7: Accessibility
Accessibility is a major issue in many parts of the world. Again you cannot do anything about your home’s accessibility to specific things, but it does play a role in the price of your property. We will work with you to highlight the places of interest that are most accessible to your home.
