POST COVID-19 

#1 Work with a local expert

that you can trust!

Thinking on selling on your own? The average homeowner may buy or sell a house only a few times on their lifetime...this is not a time to make a mistake, do the right research and  connect with the right professional.  

The real estate agent you pick to sell your house could  make or break your sale. Take your time and choose well. 

#2 Time Your Sale With Precision... 

Did you know that the time of year you list your home can affect what it sells for? 

Research has shown  the best times to list a home, If you are looking to maximize the sale of your house, in most cases the answer is the Spring Market... but in some cases, the local economy, inventory availability plays a major role into making this decision.

Ask your real estate agent when should be the best time to  put your house in the market?

​

#3 DON'T OVER-UPGRADE

It is always advisable and essential that you have a  one-on-one consultation with your real estate to help you determine what makes sense to upgrade. In a seller's market, you can usually get away with fewer repairs and fix-ups. Spend your money wisely. 

Ask your real estate agent for help to get a professional  perspective on what works or doesn’t for your home’s curb appeal. Making little changes to the outside of your home can have a major impact when selling it. 

Frst impressions matter in all aspects in life...especially when selling real estate. 

#4 THINK ABOUT CURB APPEAL 

#5 SET THE RIGHT PRICE

Know the facts and study it carefully. The pricing of your home should

not be set on hope, automatic computerized CMA's and/or false

homeowner illusions. The price of your home should be set by

square foot comparisons, current local market conditions, major

improvements or lack of, pending sales, sold comps and the number

of similar active listings in the area. You need guidance, advice and

direction from an experienced professional to set the right price to sell,

follow their advice and don't look back.

#6 IF SMELLS....

ITWON't SELL 

Buyers can be turned off or offended by smells emanating from pets, smoking, heavy cooking and other sources. The human sense of

smell could trigger powerful emotions to a potential buyer. 

Ask a neighbor or a friend to come in to your house and perform a "smell test". You don't count if you live in the house, because time develops immunity to certain smells. A good real estate agent wil be honest with you and help you prepare your house 100%

#7 CLEAR OUT THE CLUTTER 

You want buyers to focus on how awesome your house is, not how messy it looks. 

The attention should be directed to the house...and not to your valuable collections or your wonderful family photos. 

Get rid of unneeded items, donate them, sell them or put all the extra stuff in storage. 

Less is best when it comes to furniture, items inside your closets, pictures on walls and items on top of your kitchen / bathroom

counters. Give buyers a view of the house...not your stuff. 

#8 Photography Is AS Important AS EVER 

We live in a fast media heavy, internet driven world. There was a time when incredibly high quality photos were reserved only for luxury

million dollar homes. Well, this is no longer the case.

A great listing photo could sell your house. Your home is just like every other house on the market right now. 

Most potential buyers will give your home one look, and that look will be online. 

Every detail you show in your photos is one more reason that buyers will use to

differentiate between your house vs your competition. 

#9 Qualifying The Buyer, The loan Officer and their real estate agent 

An unqualified buyer can

cost you precious time and money if they end up not being able to

acquire financing and  proceed with the sale. 

A bad buyer can potentially stop you from selling your house for weeks! 

Your real estate agent will ask the right questions and spot potential problems early on.
