Closing Your Sale the Right Way
Make a Plan
As with most business operations, you will need to draft a plan. Separate your wants from needs to direct your attention towards the most essential steps. In addition, your plan will need to cover moving costs and where you are planning to move.
Research
Start examining other listings in your area through physical inspection and online browsing. Don't hesitate to contact local agents for more information. Be careful, most agents will ask you to sign a contract prior to talking with you. You have the right to refuse.
Understand
No two real estate markets are the same. Each area maintains a unique culture which attracts specific kind of buyers. Develop an understanding of your neighborhood's buyers' potential and what marketing areas will attract you more offers.
Estimate Costs & Profits
Will you make profit?
How much are you expecting? In most cases, careful planning can change loses into gains. There is no need to in-debt yourself. Make sure to discuss possibility of profits or loss with your accountant.
Prepare
When you visit any store, you will avoid any of those which look untidy or dirty. Similarly, your property needs to be cleaned in order to attract potential buyers. Simple touch-ups will help your property look well, while renovations will help your property excel beyond the competition.
Market
Time to bring out the camera. Simple written description is not enough. In our visual time, buyers demand color-rich marketing flyers with photos showing both exterior and interior of your property. If you enter into a listing agreement, ask your agent to list your property on various websites in addition to traditional multiple listing services.
Review & Audit
Give every offer an equal opportunity. A useful measure for a good offer is attached documents. Buyers represented by agents are usually better potential buyers because their agents had already prepared them for offer making. Audit all the required paper work to ensure no legal liability fallout as a result of negligence.
Real Estate Selling Tips
Hiring a qualified licensed real estate agent will shorten your listing period and simplifies the process even further. In addition, real estate agents utilize their knowledge and experience to make you avoid legal liability.
If your agent doesn't immediately list off the items above when you ask him how he plans to market your home, then you should be running in the other direction. Sure, you can just throw it on MLS and you will probably get an offer or two but you don't want a couple offers, you want a lot.
