Thinking of selling your home but don't know where to start? Here are some things to expect and prepare for to get the most out of your home sale!
Cleaning and Repairs
Getting your home ready can sometimes be a lot of work, but at the end of the sale, you'll be glad you did it. Painting, cleaning, and doing some minor repairs can make your home shine. Whether its the interior or exterior of your home, a buyer is going to see it! To get the best offer, make it look good.
Kitchen and Bathrooms
If you are planning on putting time and money into the home before selling, the best way to get the biggest return on your investment is to focus on the kitchen and bathrooms. Remodeling these two areas will increase the value of your home the most!
Photography
Be ready to let your Realtor take pictures of your home, they may even hire a professional photographer. Professional photos are always the best way to make your listing stand out. When the photographer comes to take the pictures, make sure you put as much as you can away. Remove any personal photos and de-clutter as much as possible. If in doubt, your photographer and Realtor can give you tips during your appointment to get the rooms picture perfect.
Disclosures
This is just a fancy word to say that you will let the buyer know anything and everything you know about the house and property. There are standard disclosure forms that your Realtor can provide you as well as some others that may be specific to your house. Be prepared to sit down and fill out the paperwork to the best of your knowledge. With a Realtor, you will always have someone to answer any questions you may have about any of the paperwork.
Be patient and plan ahead
In any real estate market, there are going to be good things to come out of the sale of a home as well as challenges. However, going into the process understanding that it takes time, energy, and planning will really help give you a good experience and relieve some stress. So, when selling your home, expect to plan ahead for your next place to live, be prepared ahead of time for showings, and be aware that there may be hiccups and setbacks to be ready for.
