Since I have been into the real estate market for time, I thought why not writes a handy guide to help people sell their homes properly. I have seen people sell their homes by themselves quite well. But make no mistake I have seen people fail at it as well. In fact I will go straight and say I have made a few mistakes myself, so why not let that be a warning for you. So let us see the rules that you should follow when you put your house up for sale.
- First thing up always get your expected price right. Buyers are biased towards sellers who offer at the most current market price. If you are offering the right price then you will land yourself a buyer.
- Second thing that is important is to get an experienced broker. If you are doing the marketing for your home yourself, then you need to be prepared to work really hard. If you are not ready for this you can always hire a broker to market it for you. But go for someone with experience and a large track record so that you can verify with their clients.
- Make your home look fantastic. You can hire a home stager to prepare the house for sale.
- Remember to throw in a little extra so that buyers making a decision can swing your way. Do not offer a car or a cruise as it will make you look desperate. Instead offer to pay a good part of the closing costs. You can offer a commission to agents to bring purchasers as well.
- Lastly if your financial situation is not good and you have a mortgage over the house, you have a few options. You can persuade your employer to complete your loan. You can bide your time by offering the house on rent. Lastly sell your house at any price available (Please refer the first rule).
So you pretty much get the idea here. Stick to the list and you are good.
