6 Tips Before Selling Your Home
 

You can also read the text of the infographic below…

Meet with your trusted real estate agent: Your agent can save you a lot of time and energy by guiding you through the pre-listing phase. They are there to serve you and help you decide if listing your home is the right option.

Pre-qualify to buy your new home: Get pre-qualified to buy your next home before putting your current one on the market. Working with a reputable mortgage professional will help you understand what you need to net from your current home and achieve your goals for your next one.

Price correctly: Listing your home at the proper market value is critical to selling your home within a reasonable time frame. Be cautious of making decisions based on valuations online and instead use your agent’s in-depth knowledge of the local area as a resource. Then don’t forget how important the choice of estate agent is, as the best will get you the best price for the property and reach many more of the best buyers.

Pre-inspection: Home inspections are often a sticking point where a home sale can go wrong. Material defects may need to be repaired prior to a buyer purchasing the home, so determine these potential fixes before you list, instead of during the negotiation process.

De-clutter: If your house is cluttered or filled with personal mementos, it can be more difficult for a buyer to picture themselves living there. Placing large pieces of furniture or family photos in storage is worth the effort to help your home sell quicker.

Professional photography: The modern-day home search almost always starts online and first impressions are very important. Make sure your real estate agent uses a professional photographer or company specializing in real estate photography to show your home in the best light.

    It’s good that you mention here that pre-inspection is important to do before going to the process of selling your house in order to identify if there are defects that can cause to a negotiation problem upon listing. I will tell this to my husband in order for us to have time for a vhouse repair just in case we found any damages. After this, we’ll make sure that our listing will be seen by many interested buyers as we are planning to have a home broadview type of listing. This way, possible buyers can have a better look at our house, the location, and other convenient things that surround the place.

    I like that you mention how you can save time working with a real estate agent since they can guide you through the process. When choosing one, you’d probably want to research local agents and then meet with them. You could research them online to read reviews and check out their website to learn about their real estate services and experience to determine which one you trust and are comfortable working with.
