Sellers Guide
Whether you are growing your family, transferring out of state for a new position, or downsizing, everyone can use some guidance when it comes to selling a property.
You need a trusted advisor by your side once you have decided to sell and that is where using a REALTOR® comes in. 89% of sellers were assisted by a real estate agent when selling their home in 2016 according to the National Association of REALTORS®
Selling a home takes time, time to understand the market and assess where your property fits, price it appropriately and market it so it shines above the rest. REALTORS® take the time to do all that for you so you can sell your home quickly and at the highest price the market will bear.
So, you decided to sell. Now what?
Preparing a property for the market is the key to getting it sold quickly. This is the time to reduce your belongings and clear out the clutter you have been stock piling for years. Clean off the refrigerator door, pack the doilies, and rent a storage space for unnecessary items so the property is open and bright. The buyers will be able to see the features of the property instead of your collected gems. They need to be able to picture what their belongings will look like in your home.
