4 FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE SALEABILITY OF YOUR HOME
Price Point
Pricing your home for the current market is important for maximum exposure and ultimately, a satisfactory sale.
- Factors that determine a property's value: location, design, amenities, competing properties, economic conditions.
- Factors that have little or no influence: price the seller originally paid, amount spent on improvements
Market Conditions
The real estate market is always fluctuating, and as your agent I will be able to discuss the pros and cons of listing during varied market conditions.
Property Condition
The condition of your property will have a lot to do with the selling price and how quickly it will sell. If there are repairs needed, or if professional staging is required, I will be there to assist and offer my guidance and network.
Market Exposure
My focus will be on what we're able to control - market exposure and negotiating offers. I want to get the most qualified buyers into your home, in the least amount of time, and with minimal inconvenience. With a comprehensive marketing plan, your home will get noticed in any market.
INFORMATION PREP
Once your home is on the market, it's very important to have information ready to go in case the buyer or lender requests it. Below is a list of items that buyers, lenders, and lawyers might request during this phase of selling your home.
Gather:
- Manuals for appliances
- Receipts of work done to the home - including all major & minor renovations
- All keys and garage door openers
- Surveys previously done
- A list of utility providers & average costs per month
- Alarm instructions
