 “What do you need to consider when
preparing to sell your home?”
There are many things to
consider when preparing to sell your home, and the more prepared you
are for the journey, the easier it will be.
Here are some basics to
consider:
Presentation is everything
You’d be amazed at the difference “cosmetic” improvements can
make in how buyers react to your home. So you may want to spend some
time sprucing up your home with paint and landscaping as well as
taking care of necessary repairs you may have been avoiding. This not
only will help you get the very best price, but may help you get an
offer sooner.
Making arrangements for
pet care If your house is also home to a cat or dog, that can be noted
in your listing so that real estate agents act with due caution. You
may want to close your pets off in a separate room or fenced area
outside, or request advance notice when your house is to be shown.
The value of placing a
lock box on your home A lock box is a key storage system placed on an
entrance to your home that is accessible only by active, licensed real
estate agents. With today’s technology, most lock boxes allow us to
know which sales agent showed your house and when. A lock box allows
sales agents to show your home when you’re not there, without having
to go to the listing sales agent’s office to obtain (and later
return) the key. By making it more convenient for real estate agents
to show your home, it will be viewed by a greater number of buyers.
