Team Youngman’s Guide to Selling Your Home
After hiring a real estate agent, here are your next steps.
Preparing Your Home for Sale
Curb appeal is everything when it comes to selling your home, as it is the first impression your potential buyer forms. You want your house to look well cared for, as well as warm and inviting. Keep the lawn and landscaping neat, pruned, and weeded. Empty gutters, and pressure wash your home’s exterior. A fresh coat of paint on exterior doors, in addition to interior doors and walls, dramatically improves the appearance of your property.
Clean every surface indoors from ceiling to floor, including woodwork and hard-to-reach areas. Organization is important, so declutter and tidy up messy closets. Homeowners want to be able to envision themselves in your home, so eliminate personal items. Before showings, be sure to neutralize any pet odors or other strong smells.
Complete all necessary home repairs, whether minor or major. Buyers want to be able to move in without worrying about projects. Home improvements typically pay off well, allowing your home to sell faster.
Pricing Your Home
Pricing a home is no easy task, as there are many factors that need to be considered. The location, housing market, real estate comps / competitive marketing analysis (CMA), and appraisal value are just a few key considerations. Our team takes every possible influence on your home’s value to precisely determine how much your home is worth. Then, we work together with you to accurately and fairly set the listing price.
Showings and Closing
After prepping and pricing, the next step is to effectively market and show your home. When listed with a real estate professional, your home will be listed on MLS, your agent’s website, and realtor.com. Additionally, your home may be promoted on social media and other online sites, television ads, and even the local paper. Your real estate professional uses their network to help promote your home, as well as other tools, including email and mail campaigns. Open houses are scheduled at your convenience.
After the right buyer is found, a contract is given. You have the option to accept, reject, or counter the buyer’s terms. Once negotiations are complete and both parties come to an agreement, your closing date is scheduled. Be aware that many factors may affect the sale of your home, even under contract. The home inspection may reveal issues with the house that buyers are not willing to accept, the buyer may not have secured the proper financing, or they may decide to back out of the contract (though there are legal implications to help protect you as the seller if this occurs). If everything goes smoothly, the closing papers are signed by both parties, and you will have successfully sold your home. Congratulations!
