Selling Your Home and Considering Your Options
Why Are You Selling?
Why are you selling your home and how quickly do you need to get your home sold? If you are selling for financial reasons its a very different sale to one when you are downsizing or upscaling. Ideally it would be good to have planning time and ideal market conditions rather than a quick sale with little flexibility.
Whats Your Home Worth?
Do you have an idea as to how much your home is worth? Call in the services of a real estate agent and get a valuation based on sales of comparable homes in your neighborhood or area. Your own opinion of the value may be unsubstantiated and it could be detrimental to your financial situation if you had overestimated or underestimated your price point.
Your Next Home Purchase
When thinking of selling know the costs of sale and the cost of purchasing a new home. If you are going to be buying another home, be sure that you have done your homework. Its very stressful if you had not considered the financial aspect thoroughly before making a drastic move that may add pressure to budget.
Have You Got the Right Real Estate Agent Working For YOU?
When you need to employ the services of a real estate agent please be sure that you choose the one who works best for you. Interview a few agents and choose the good listener, who is an expert in her/his market and who will give you great advice. Choose someone who will work for you to get you the best price for your home in the shortest possible with the least amount of hassle.
Prepare Your Home For Selling
In order to get a great price for your home be sure to make the best first impression. Make sure that the house looks good and that the minor repairs are done. Give it a fresh coat of paint if it will get you a better price and be sure that it looks clutter free and fresh. At this point if your home is going onto the market it may be a good idea to take a room each week and get rid of the stuff you don't want. Redistribute it to family members or Organizations that can find the right home for those unwanted items.Move excess furnishings into storage and let your home shine.
Planning The Move
In anticipation of a quick sale, make a checklist of things that need to be done in order to get your packing and moving done without panic. At least then when the time comes and your sales contract firms up you will have a logical plan of action instead of a stressed one.
