Ready to sell your home, both of us have alot of work to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I often hear from people that I wear many hats throughout the day.\u00a0 During a typical day I am on the phone calling banks, title companies, well drillers, excavators, clients, plumbers, surveyors, etc.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I may be giving advice, digging a hole, providing counselling, working on a computer, repairing a hole in the drywall, juggling schedules.\u00a0 Sometimes I go home and feel like dropping, but there is usually even more that needs to be done.\u00a0 So lets look at a couple of things to do when selling a home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My first pieces of advise for any seller are these three things.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Setting the price.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our market is moving quickly right now but in any market one of the most important things you can do is set the price right.\u00a0 Buyers are very well versed in what prices should be at.\u00a0 If they just saw ten 3 bedroom 2 bath 2000 sqft homes sell for $200,000 in your neighborhood, they are not going to bother looking at yours for $250,000<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Setting the stage<\/p>\n
You only get one shot to make a good first impression.\u00a0 A clean nice smelling, de-cluttered house makes for a good showing and quicker sale.\u00a0 If the buyer\u2019s first impression is WOW, then they tend to overlook the little things that didn\u2019t quite fit in their wish list.\u00a0 If it is extremely cluttered they usually think that it will take a person to long to move.\u00a0 If they are looking at a mess, many people just can\u2019t get past it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Make it easy to view<\/p>\n
I can almost always guarantee that someone will want to see the house at the worst possible moment.\u00a0 While there are of course exceptions, make it as easy as possible for agents to get in and show your house.\u00a0 You never know what sale you are saying no to.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Things I do to sell a home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The first is to take pictures, lots of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next I enter the home in 2 different MLS systems which cover all of North Idaho.<\/p>\n
I place a sign, order riders and special signs.<\/p>\n
I gather plat maps, aerials, utility bills, list the companies, contact HOA’s pull ccrs, call for preliminary title reports, assemble a property package.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Getting your home under as many noses as possible brings success.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I list your home on at least 50 websites for maximum exposure, and send a list of links that your ad appears.<\/p>\n
