Profit occurs when preparation and experience meet opportunity

Congratulations!  You have decided to sell your home. But selling your home is more than just placing a sign in the front lawn. It is about finding a professional who has detailed knowledge of the local real estate market, the experience to successfully market your home, the drive and determination to ensure your home is sold for top dollar, and an aggressive marketing plan to achieve that goal.

Find the right representative

The experience and knowledge of a dedicated real estate professional can be priceless. A good Realtor® forms a powerful team with his or her clients that makes it possible for them to have a smooth, successful, stress-free sale.

Determine your needs/wants for the sale and for your new home

Selling your primary residence can be tricky because you have to simultaneously be thinking about where you would like to buy. First weigh your priorities – selling price is certainly important, but having a quick and efficient sale can often be worth accepting a slightly lower offer. Talk to your agent and make sure you’re comfortable with where your priorities are.

At the same time, you should be compiling a needs/wants list for the home you will buy. You will probably have to act fairly quickly when your house sells, so any amount of preparation you can do will serve you well.

Prepare your house for showing

Underprepared homes can be sales disasters. Your home will never get as much attention from potential buyers as when it is first listed, so clearing clutter, cleaning, making repairs, and putting your home’s best foot forward is essential. Don’t “open for business” until your home is ready to be seen as favorably as possible.

Find out what your local market looks like

Being realistic about your market is the key to a smooth sale. There is no substitute for a professional real estate representative when it comes to local market knowledge.

Internet presence

Over 80% of today’s real estate buyers will access the internet FIRST as a source of information.  Exposing your home to as many websites as possible ensures full access on a global scale to potential buyers. The higher the exposure of your home, the higher the likelihood of a quick sale. Because the internet is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,  constant exposure of your listing is always achieved. We use the latest up to date technology to promote your home.

List away!

Lots of photos and online exposure are the key to getting a good response for your listing. Working with an agent who uses Point2 Agent software is a great step in the right direction. Now just “open” the house and sit back and wait for the flood of eager buyers!
