"Let's get your home SOLD" is what every Realtor says! Here are the top 3 tips to get your home sold!
These tips are meant to target and place your home in the best position to get your home sold the quickest! 
Disclaimer: These steps do involve a little work from the seller as well. 
​
Setting the right price 
Price is everything when selling a home. If you list too high, many buyers will think you have over priced your home and are asking for too much. In this scenario, many buyers get turned off or they think they cannot afford your home and they never get around to see it! On the other hand, if your home is listed to low, then we miss out on potential revenue! 

By listing your home just right, we reach the most potential buyers and have a higher chance of receiving multiple offers! 

Be sure to talk to your best realtor to decide on the best list price! 

First Impression is EVERYTHING
We've all heard the phrase before, "What was your first impression?" Well this applies to real estate as well! When a buyer first walks into your home, they start to envisions themselves living there. If there is too much clutter or if some lighting doesn't work, guess what, the buyer will have a harder time seeing themselves living there. 
This is where we need a homeowners help! Recommending that the home be picked up, cleaned, and fixed of minor deterrents can go a long way to a buyer. And guess what? If your home shows well, there is a higher chance we can have multiple offers! 

Promo, Promo, Promo! 
Here is where the fun begins! Let's be honest, your home doesn't fit every buyers needs! By figuring out who our buyers are, we can promote it directly to them. Luckily for you, with our team, you get more than just a sign on the yard! Our home promotion excels from older techniques, such as postcards and flyers, to modern technological techniques. Together we put your home in the best position to gave up and showcase it to the most and best buyers for your home! 
And what does that mean... You guessed it! A higher chance for multiple offers! 

The Truth in Loans
What does an offer with an FHA loan mean to you, as a seller
An FHA loan is a federally backed loan for the buyer. This plays a large role in the purchase of your home. Because it is Federally Insured, your home must be in tip top shape for them to grant the loan to your buyer. It has more requirements about the condition of you home. It requires a lender appraisal.
What does this mean for me?
If the buyers offer comes in at $210,000 but the home apprasial values the property at $200,000, the bank will not lend the $210k to the buyer. This means more than likely the purchase of your home will be $200k as opposed to the $210k.
There are a few things to consider, but call me for more advice

My neighbor sold their home for 200 thousand, why is mine only worth 180 thousand? 

As a Realtor, that is one of the most common questions we get from sellers. Although a Realtor cannot exactly tell you what you should list your home for, we most certainly can suggest a great Market Value Assessment. ​

When considering an opinion of valuation there is a few things to consider. 
The number one thing is to consider the neighborhood the subject property is situated in. If your home is 1800 sqft we want to study the market and see the comparable properties. Comparable homes can be a little bit bigger or smaller but they shouldn't be far from the subjects square footage. Ex: Your home is 1800 sqft,, a comparable can be a home that is 1650ft or 2050 sqft. Once you have your comparable properties, you will want to consider at what price they sold for. 
When a house sells for $195,000 and is 1700 sqft that means the house sold for $114.70. 

By gathering each of the comparable properties and considering the sold price per sqft then we can accurately place an opinion of value on your home!
