Whether you're selling your first home or you're an experienced mover, the process of selling a residential property can feel overwhelming at times. As a homeowner, you've invested time, energy, and money into your home and accumulated numerous personal belongings and memories that you'll carry with you to the next house.
The team at Adam Weiner + Associates knows all too well that preparing your home to hit the market is a nuanced process and is unique to every seller. Depending on the square footage of your home and your wish list for the next property, you may require specific qualities and specialties from your local agent and the process of putting the home on the market may be longer than the next seller.
With careful planning and attention, you can successfully set up your home to hit the market and begin the process of looking for your next dream home.
Find a Trusted Real Estate Agent
No matter how easy it looks on television, selling a residential or commercial property is a complex process and should be executed with the help of a real estate agent in Lawrence Park from the professionals at Adam Weiner + Associates. Their team of licensed agents not only understand the legalities behind real estate - which ensure you don't fall prey to any scams or false promises - but they are also experts in their market and can help their buyers identify which properties make the most sense for their lifestyle and budget.
Working with a professional real estate agent takes the pressure off of the sellers' shoulders when it comes to identifying the optimal price for their current home and how to attract buyers and their agents. Their expertise and insight will ensure you're not only getting top dollar for your home but that you can confidently put in an offer on a new property.
Make a Plan for Repairs
The goal of selling is to acquire top dollar for the property and if your home is showing noticeable damage or dated features, you're less likely to receive higher offers than if those issues were addressed before the house goes on the market.
The first step to remedying these issues is to identify, room-by-room, the areas of the home that need attention. Make a comprehensive list of to-dos and later organize them by priority. Knowing which repairs will help increase the value of your home will allow you to get to work before your agent lists the property.
Set the Scene
Staging may feel like an unnecessary feature, however, it can help potential buyers to envision the space in a more realistic manner - with the ability to see how the furniture fits in each room. According to the experts at Adam Weiner + Associates, staging acts as a first impression and could be the difference between simply selling your home and selling its full potential.
Additionally, if costs are a concern, simply focus on staging the key room that buyers look to first, such as the living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom. Throw in some simple landscaping and exterior maintenance, and you'll see the difference the effort makes in achieving the best price for your home.
