And yet – the news says the real estate market is heating up. The media is shouting again about multiple offers, high demand, and record-setting prices.
So where’s your contract?
These tips could be just what you need to help you sell your USA home.
As before, novice agents and investors rush into the booming market, saying they know what they’re doing.
But they don’t. They’re getting stuck with the nuances of financing, deal structure, and evaluation. Seriously, chances are good that real estate is your most significant investment – don’t trust just anyone’s advice. If you want great results, partner with the pros.
Too often, we see over-improved properties – those where the owners have gone too far. Even with the best of intentions, exceptional craftsmanship, and true artistic talent, it’s incredibly challenging to exceed what the market is paying. Plus, most buyers want to add their custom touches. Get rid of all the clutter and think “neutral.”
Unfixed stuff scares buyers. Show that you’ve been a responsible property owner and get all the little details fixed.
Don’t leave gaps in the trim or plates off of the switches. Get it inspected by a professional home inspector, and show off the healthy home report. This goes a long way toward establishing confidence that they’re making a good purchase.
Curb appeal is as important as the inside – so don’t neglect one part of the property to improve the other. Give buyers a cohesive impression of great style. Paint the walls, update the landscaping, and, most of all – keep it immaculately clean. Consider hiring a professional designer to help tastefully stage the property.
If you’re getting many showings but not many offers, you might not be too far off in price. If your best efforts to advertise your property aren’t ringing the phone, you’re probably overpriced.
There’s no magic formula – but there’s no substitute for experience.
