Looking To Sell? Part Two
6. Stage Your Home: In order for the Buyer to see all the possibilities of each room in the home, it is a good idea to set the stage. Pack away the nick knacks or any decorations that might take away from seeing the home. Take down wall decorations or pictures. This will help showing the true size of the rooms as well.
7. Do Not Hover: So that the potential Buyer does not feel uncomfortable, it is a good idea for the seller to be gone from the property during showings or an open house. This way the Buyer can take their time as they consider whether this is the home for them.
8. What is Next? Be ready for the next move. Are you going to buy another property? Are you going to rent a property for an extended time? You want to leave yourself plenty of time to make these arrangements. You may have a Buyer that will want to move into the property in a very short time period. You want to be ready so that the next move is as stress free as possible.
9. Flexibility is a Key Factor: Today’s market can pose many challenges for the Seller. Some markets have seen price declines and fewer buyers. The willingness to be flexible on both price and terms, and a willingness to negotiate, may ensure a sale that happens sooner than later or not at all.
10. Stay Positive: In spite of today’s market, stay focused on the positive side. Pay attention to the feedback from potential buyers and your agent. Most importantly, hang in there! Don’t be discouraged. There is a Buyer for your property.
Whether you are downsizing, moving up, avoiding foreclosure, moving closer to the job or schools, keep these tips in mind. Your agent will help to make the process as stress free as possible.
