SELLERS GUIDE

Avoid These Common Mistakes

Consider these red flags if you're worried about making common seller mistakes. When selling traditionally, the agent will assist you in overcoming these obstacles. Also, keep these problems in mind if you're selling FSBO:

• Overpricing

• Too Emotional

• No Prep Work

• No Photographer

• Not Accounting All Closing Costs

Create A Checklist:

To plan your home for sale, stick to a detailed schedule. Alternatively, start with this quick checklist of pre-sale assignments.

• Complete a full cleaning of the whole house

• Ideally get a Pre-Inspection

• Repairs with touch-ups

• Ideally order an appraisal

• Declutter with some staging

• Have both a walk-away and a listed price

• Photographer with a plan to market

Selling Home Options

Selling a home for sale by owner necessarily requires a greater sense of control over the entire operation, as well as a substantial time commitment. FSBO sellers, on the other hand, may escape some of the commissions associated with a typical sale.

Hiring a real estate agent to list your home for sale is a traditional method of selling. In most cases, the agent can manage the final stages of the home sale process, including advising on the most critical home improvements, determining a competitive list price, and advertising the property correctly for the market.

Sell A House

1. Clean

You'll want to make a strong first impression on potential buyers with your house. A dirty home not only detracts from consumers' appreciation of your home's best qualities, but it also gives the impression that you have neglected larger maintenance and upkeep activities.

2. Inspect

Most sellers elect to fund their own Pre-Inspection. A home inspector will examine your home's structural elements, major systems, and appliances in detail and report on any problems that may raise red flags for prospective buyers. A Pre-Inspection will help you prioritize any repairs that are needed and point you in the right direction for a fair sale price.

3. Repairs

Particularly if you don't have any big fixes to make, it's a good idea to go through your house and finish any minor repairs you've been putting off. Repainting, patching cracks, and fixing trim can all make a huge difference.

4. Appraise

You may even have your house appraised. Choosing a list price is an important part of the sale process, and getting an impartial, professional opinion on your home's worth can be beneficial.

5. Stage

Staging your home in two different ways. To begin, simply declutter, remove personal items such as family pictures, and rearrange furniture to highlight your home's best features. Alternatively, you might employ a competent stager. In any case, the aim is to assist potential buyers in visualizing themselves living in the property.

6. Price 

When you negotiate with your agent to sell your home, you can rely on their experience to help you determine an accurate list price. They'll start by providing you with a market comparison (CMA, commonly known as comps). They'll be able to focus on the fair market value because they're not emotionally attached to your house.

The for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) procedure entails the following steps: You can also order a comparative market report from a local agent if you're handling your own listing. You may also do your own research by looking for similar properties online and applying best pricing practices.

A comparative market analysis, or CMA, is a report that your real estate agent prepares for you that includes a list of recent sales in your area. It focuses on homes that are close to yours and provides information such as home specifics, days on the market, and final selling price. A good CMA will assist you in determining the appropriate price for your own house.

7. Market

When selling with an agent, most agents will advise professional photography (and they'll almost certainly have a photographer they still use, even at a reduced rate). After the images are complete, your agent can go all out to promote your listing online, on social media, by word of mouth, and in the community.
