Is Your Home Ready for the Market?

Today, we’re going to talk about how to prepare your home for the market. I always tell sellers to call me first. I will take a look at your property to see what needs to be taken care of before you sell your home. Ultimately, I want to work with you and see what works the best for your home.

I went on a listing appointment last week and the seller wanted to wait until the property was in perfect shape. However, that wasn’t at all necessary. That’s why you should let us determine what needs to be done before listing your home. What a real estate agent sees is entirely different compared what the seller thinks needs to be done. Some sellers wind up doing way too much to get their home prepared for the market. The market is hot, and you need to list now.

  
This seller wanted to repaint and replace the flooring. When I visited her property, she only needed to clean the carpet and touch up some spots on her wall. Some of the smudges were from the kids touching the light switches, so those walls just needed to be wiped clean! We sold her house in less than 24 hours.

We like to come in, meet with sellers, and suggest what items they should update. Oftentimes, it takes a listing two or three weeks before it’s ready to hit the market. My team and I market the property in the meantime, letting neighbors and interested buyers know that it’s coming on the market soon.

We are in a hot seller’s market with only 3 months of inventory available. If you’re thinking of selling, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
