Home Selling Tips
Make A Good First Impression
  • First impressions can be lasting impressions.
  • Trim and edge your lawn.
  • Add some flowers and bark chips along the front walkways.
  • How does the paint and condition of the front door look?
  • Clean driveway grease spots and check if the garage door needs paint.
  • Take a look at your home from the road and then walk through the front door.
  • What else will show your home to its greatest advantage?
Light Helps Your Home Look Larger And Cheerier
  • Keep the shades open to let more light in.
  • In dark hallways, entry ways and rooms, leave the lights on, even in the daytime.
  • Dark paneling, paint or wallpaper may need to be replaced or painted.
  • Clean windows and sliding glass doors.
Show Off All The Space That Your Home Has
  • Pack up those closets and get ready to move. Let the buyers see how much closet space they will be buying.
  • Now is the time to clean the garage. How about a garage sale?
  • Too much furniture will make your rooms look small. Move some furniture to the garage if you have to.
  • The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the buyer's buying decision. Is it clean? Can you pack some things away to better demonstrate the counter and cabinet space?

Dangers Of Overpricing
  • Multiple Listing Service computer searches are often conducted by price range. An agent may have a buyer who will pay up to $150,000. If your home is listed at $153,000, your home may not be included in the search results.
  • Overpricing discourages many potential buyers who will look elsewhere, thinking your home is beyond their means. Buyers shop by comparison, and often pass up highly priced homes to bid on more reasonably priced ones.
  • Appraisals are required on all new loans. Buyers realize that, to get a loan to purchase your home, a lender will have to agree to the value.
  • Overpricing invariably lengthens time on the market. Buyers tend to view such properties as "shopworn", or "wanting" in some way, and will buy only at a greatly discounted price.
  • Overpricing tends to dampen the other salesperson's enthusiasm for your property, making it less likely that it will be shown.
  • Overpricing invariably results in a lower selling price than could otherwise have been obtained.

Properties have to be shown to be sold.
PRICE YOUR HOME SO BOTH WILL HAPPEN !
