Seller Tips
1. CONDUCT A SELF-HOME INSPECTION
Walk-through your house as if you are a potential buyer for the home! What did you like? What do you not like? What could be better?
Curb appeal is very important! Is the yard manicured? What's the first impression of the home?
Does everything work properly, or do you need to catch up on any deferred or minor repairs? Make a list of things as you go for easy follow up later.
2. FIND YOUR REALTOR
If you are considering putting your house on the market, find the right Realtor for YOU.
How do you do that? Ask family and friends about the Realtor they used. What did they like? What did they not like? How many years of experience does he/she have in real estate? How does his/her type of service match up to your lifestyle?
Also, make sure to look at the Realtor's reviews from previous buyers. Look for common themes and get a feel for his/her work ethic. Every Realtor is a bit different from the next. Ultimately, find someone you can trust!
3. COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS
Ask your Realtor to do a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) on your home. This will help determine the listing price range you should stay within based on similar homes that sold recently in your area.
Note: a CMA typically expires after 30 days due to the fluctuation of selling prices as more homes close each month.
Not sure if you agree with the CMA provided by your Realtor? No worries! You can elect to pay for a full appraisal via a licensed appraiser to determine the current value of your home.
