The Price is Right Your Realtor will research the home sales comparables in your area and consult with you of the best price range for your property. The value of your home is best judged by its improvements and upgrades compared to similar homes that have sold in your neighborhood. Studies have shown that a whopping 80% of all buyers come from MLS listings and signs. If you are not getting enough offers and your home is available to show, It is time to re-evaluate your price.
Accessibility Is Key Be careful about restricting your home for appointment only showings, these are very restrictive, Many times the agent will know about your home, If you home can be seen as simply as a call ahead and go … do it! The easier your home is to show you are improving your opportunities of the better deal.
Your Home Is On Stage Create more light, Open those drapes and blinds, get rid of clutter, Box up seldom used items, you will be doing it soon anyway why not start now. Remember, first impressions are lasting! Don’t lose that sale because your prospect was put off by clutered closets, stains, burnt out light bulbs, bad smells or a jungle for a lawn!

How Long will it take ? Your Realtor will be able to advise you in regard to your needed time frame, If you are looking at a job transfer in 6 months it may be as close as 2 months that you may want to get your home on the market, In some markets it may take 3-6 months to sell. Be prepared and you will be able to chose your buyer instead of having to accept an lesser offer that you had to accept due to the time factor.
The Offer When your home is listed and offers come in, you should sit down with your agent and carefully go over each and every item in the contract, if you don’t like it, its the time to make a counter offer now to the buyer, the process of negotiating is a balance of give and take so remember, to get a little you may have to give a little.
