First steps to selling a house
1. Make the decision to move, and move!
One of the top home seller tips is to trust your gut. Selling your Sierra Vista area property is a major commitment, so it’s important not to waffle once you’ve decided to list your home for sale.
With that being said, you’ll want to make sure you’re seriously ready to sell before starting the process. To avoid seller’s remorse, remember that a home sale is a forever decision and focus on the reasons that you do, or don’t, want to sell.
2. Hire a REALTOR®
It’s important to find the right Realtor you can trust. This is your home sale we’re talking about! Sierra Vista Realty has been in business since 1960! Our Realtors have the experience to guide you through the process and reduce the stress involved in selling your home.
3. Decide your order
Do you want to sell first, then buy? Or would you rather buy and sell simultaneously? Both options have unique perks and potential challenges. Make sure you discuss these options in advance so that you’re prepared to wait patiently until the time is right or sign confidently on a house that’s available today.
4. Disclose, disclose, disclose
If anything is found in a pre-sale inspection, or you already know about specific home defects, you must include that information in a disclosure. By disclosing information, such as a roof leak, you could put yourself in a good position with buyers. Homebuyers who want to move quickly will understand that you’ve been straightforward about the house’s strengths and flaws, and may have even more incentive to purchase your home. Keep in mind, though, it’s not just about being in the good graces of your buyers. You are also legally obligated to disclose any important information and issues to the potential buyer.
6. Get to work on renovations, fast fixes, touch Up or re-paint
In some cases, all your house may need is a fresh coat of paint, a little decluttering or a new garage door in order to be listing-ready. Make sure to discuss potential renovations or fast fixes with your Realtor. They’ll help you determine if any upgrades make sense for your sale and how to delegate those responsibilities.
7. Clean Everything Thoroughly
Everyone's level of "clean" is different. What is "clean" to me may not be acceptable to you. When you’re listing your house for sale, you need to get your home as clean as possible. Pretend that you’re selling your house to a germaphobe. If you can afford it, hire a professional cleaning crew to spend a day performing a deep clean. It’s well worth the money.
8. Shampoo or Replace Carpets
Carpets show more damage than almost any part of your home. If you have carpeting in your home, it’s probably going to be a problem. If the carpets are not stained and are newer, you might get away with hiring a professional carpet cleaning company. If cleaning does not restore them, you’ll need to replace them.
Final Thoughts
As you read through the list above, don’t be intimidated by the scope of work. Make a list of things that you feel are important for your home sale, and then plan accordingly. Tackle one item at a time, and before you know it, your list is complete.
Once your house is ready to put on the market, it will most likely get an offer before your competition does. Many sellers will try to avoid some of the steps mentioned above. If you take the time and expense to tackle these issues, your house should outshine the others and sell for the highest sales price possible.
When it comes to selling your home, the adage “you get out what you put in” rings true. Your efforts will be well rewarded.
