HIRE
A REAL ESTATE AGENT TO REPRESENT
YOU
According
to the 2012 National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Buyers and
Sellers, 90% of homes sell with the assistance of a professional real estate
agent.
CLEAN
AND FIX REPAIRS
Home
buyers, of course, want a clean, well-kept place to live. Arrange for a home inspection
prior to listing your home. The home
buyer will be sure to have his own inspection prior to finalizing the deal so
it just makes good sense to find out what needs to be repaired early and take care of it upfront. The result is a faster
sale for more money!
INSIST
ON PRE-APPROVED BUYERS ONLY
As
a seller, you have limited knowledge about the buyer or how reliable he or she may
be. However, you do have the ability to insist that the buyer demonstrates financial
ability.
PRICE
IT RIGHT
The
number one thing that will sell a house quickly is the price. If you price it
right, it will sell. If you price it
wrong, it won’t. Consult with your real estate agent to look at comparable
homes (comps) in your neighborhood that are currently on the market or were recently
sold.
