Top 5 Best Tips when Preparing to Sell Your Home

Let’s face it – there are many reasons why you would decide to sell your home. However, when that decision is made there is still a lot of work and preparation that needs to be done before selling your home. Consider these 5 helpful tips to use when preparing to sell your home!

Even with an excellent real estate agent by your side, it can be hard to get your home sold. The good news is that you can take a few measures to increase the process of selling your home. Take a look at these tips when selling your home and make sure you sell it quickly while getting the price you want.

  1. Take Care of Small Repairs

    You are probably are aware of what needs to be fixed or repaired around the house. Analyze what needs to be done and then take care of these repairs. This includes stopping leaks, fixing windows, fixing holes in drywall, repairing kitchen cabinets, etc. Potential buyers don’t want to think about fixing or repairing things when they move into their new home.

  2. Add Some Fresh Paint

    This is one of the best tips to use when selling your home. Painting the walls in your home is something that can make your home look fresh and new, and much better. Adding some fresh paint is not expensive and you can do it by yourself. You can bright up the walls with a nice color or a neutral shade. Just make sure to avoid bold and brilliant colors as buyers may have a difficult time envisioning themselves in your place.

  3. Make a Great First Impression

    A great first impression is crucial if you want to sell your home quickly and for an excellent price. When potential buyers come, they should be impressed and amazed by what they see.

  4. Have Some Landscaping Done

    It is a good idea to have landscaping done when preparing to sell your home. A nice lawn with some landscaping can attract the attention of potential buyers encouraging them to fall in love with the house. Have some flower beds planted, eliminate the weeds, and trim the edges. This will make the landscaping look simple and attractive.

  5. Clean Your Home

    Last but not least, clean your home carefully. Every room of the house should be clean. Dusty furniture, dirty carpets, and unpleasant smells will turn off the buyers, so take some time to dust furniture, steam clean carpets, clean the bathroom, etc.

Combine these 5 tips with an excellent real estate agent and you will be able to sell your home in no time and for a great price.

For Sale by Owner

Is for Sale by Owner (FSBO) a Smart Option?

Some sellers are tempted to maximize their profits and avoid paying a commission to a Realtor by trying a For Sale by Owner (FSBO) transaction in the midst of a sellers’ market. They think they can sell easily without any help from a professional Realtor.

However, statistics show that selling your home with the assistance of a professional real estate agent will garner you a higher profit, enough to cover the commission as well as put more money in your pocket.

Serious buyers only shop FOR SALE BY OWNER’S to save a commission, which is probably what the seller is trying to do, hence resulting in a sale price that is significantly below market. The typical FSBO home sold for $210,000.00 compared to $249,000.00 for agent-assisted home sales, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Most buyers shop on line before even contacting a realtor, so aggressive marketing is key! Having earned the prestigious membership in the top elite international real estate network, I know the importance of gaining global exposure to attract more of the right buyers to get the highest price. Our combination of unique marketing to local, national, and international buyers has resulted in some sales as high as 20% over the market value.

Some of the important tools and practices we use but are not limited to are professional photography, aerial tour from a drone, marketing the home like a professional developer with virtual staging (if necessary). A brochure of the home, a pro-active approach to selling by having our team to get on the phone and asking hundreds of people a day if they know someone who is interested in purchasing the property, qualifying the buyers who want to view the home, and special events that actually get traffic!

FSBO’s are also missing out on 25% of the buyers in the South Florida Market. International buyers typically pay top dollar and are cash buyers which means if your house is overpriced you’re going to need cash buyers as it will not appraise.

There is also the fact that FSBO’s are missing out on the power of a third party negotiator. There are many stages of the deal where it can fall apart.

Prepare Home for Sale

Preparing to Sell your House.

Preparing to Sell? Here are some Maintenance Tips from Paz Global before Winter

Give you home a new coat of paint:

It’s the perfect time to paint your home and get it ready for the holidays. Open up your windows for ventilation before it’s a full house.

Check your home for Mold:

Given the heat in South Florida in the last few months, mold can flourish due to the humidity. Check your home for any areas that don’t get good ventilation. Selling real estate with mold is not very attractive whether it’s a home or condo.

Inspect your roof:

You might want to check for cracked tiles or shingles on your roof before you find out the hard way putting up those Christmas decorations you like. Whether its moss or lichen, having signs of deterioration is never good.

Make sure there is good airflow:

Check your vents and make sure you change your filter accordingly. Buildup of dust can create a fire hazard and it is also not healthy for you or others.

Check your detectors:

It is always good to check that your smoke and carbon dioxide detectors are working and have new batteries.
