HOME SELLING TIPS
SELLING YOUR HOUSE.
The question of selling your home is always a tough one. It
may be that you have a solid reason for selling, such as being
transferred to a new job area, needing more space for a
growing or changing family situation, need a change of
climate, are making a good investment decision, or it may be
you just want to sell because you are tired of the house you
are in or area in which you live. No matter the reason make
no mistake, selling is not an easy thing to do and is not a
decision to be made lightly. Why? Several reasons..
The first is that selling causes major disruption in your life
generally. Your home has to be clean and ready to show
pretty much all of the time. Major de-cluttering, re-arranging
or even removing furniture, and, most likely, some
re-decorating may be necessary. These facts are always true,
but more especially in a "Buyers Market" as it seems to be in
most areas, at present. Scheduling showings may tough if, for
example, you have small children, several large dogs, or tend
to work at home.
Secondly, those home projects you may have started but
never finished will need to be completed. Any deferred
maintenance is a major deterrent to a perspective buyer.
Seeing an incomplete maintenance job will make the buyer
wonder what else may be wrong that they can not see.
Thirdly, if you are selling in hopes of recouping on your
investment you need to look at the current market carefully.
Is it the best time to sell? Is it the best season? Are other
homes in your neighborhood selling quickly and for good
prices? How long are they sitting on the market? All of these
considerations are necessary, in addition, to remembering to
include the money you will most likely have to spend in order
to sell your home, such as for repairs, redecorating, hiring a
Realtor, or for the attorney or closing company.
So, if you look at the all the possible reasons you want/need to
sell, and in addition, you look at the costs you may incur, and it
still seems a good decision for you to sell, then go ahead.
However, do gather as much information about selling as you
can. Talk with friends who have sold their homes, Realtors,
loan officers, etc, and get as much information about the
process as you can. It always pays to be informed, no matter
what decisions you have to make.
And remember, a good Realtor can help
steer you through the process.
