Preparing Your Home For Selling
So, you found a realtor that is a great fit for you. Perfect!
Now you need to take an objective look, and outsiders perspective, of your home. Sandy Covington, like other great realtors, will help you take that objective look.
Buyers have likely never seen your home, do not know about its memories or what has happened within its walls. But you and your realtor can help show the love and care you have put into your home.
While it may have been perfect for you, times change. You might want to consider minor (or major) updates to bring your home into the style of the modern time or preserve the “quaintness” of your country home. Whatever you decide, a great realtor, like Sandy Covington, will help.
Determine Your Selling Price
The cost of living and the price of homes have skyrocketed over the past few years, much more than normal.
Having someone, like Sandy Covington, in your corner, keeps you in the loop of the current trends in the market. What will work for your area and what won’t. A great realtor is your guide to navigating the hidden pitfalls of this business.
Getting An Offer
So, you found a realtor, determined your price and made your place look great, now you just sit back and wait, right?
You might, but great realtors like Sandy Covington do not.
Once the wheels have been set in motion and all of the above has been determined and updated, Sandy Covington will start actively looking for motivated buyers for you. Sitting around waiting for someone to find you could take a very long time.
While it still can take some time to get new prospects, actively looking for someone is much better than waiting by the phone.
With Sandy Covington’s knowledge, experience and contacts, she will be working hard behind the scenes to find a buyer that is qualified, and present your property in the best light possible in multiple market locations so those who are looking for a new home will see yours on the list.
Negotiating The Price
The sale is almost complete, a qualified buyer has found your home, is interested and a price is offered. Is that it? Not quite. The offer may not be what you were expecting and is usually lower than the asking price.
Only you and your realtor know how much you are willing to accept for your home and it may be your asking price, but not always.
Negotiating is a key skill of your realtor. She will be your voice to help you make the sale at the best possible price.
Closing The Deal
You’ve done it!
While it may be a bitter-sweet adventure, your home has been sold. A new family has decided to purchase your home and make their own memories.
We are almost done. There are inspections, appraisals, potential repairs, etc. If your realtor had taken the time to assess your property in the beginning, like Sandy Covington does, this should be the easiest part of the sale because most of the work and decisions would have already been known and agreed upon in the beginning.
The appraisals, inspections and assessments should come out as expected and the new buyers should be able to sign on the dotted line as agreed.
Finally…
Finding a great realtor is like finding a friend. You want to choose one carefully. Talk with their previous clients, talk with the realtor, and determine for yourself if they will be a good match for you.
