Peter’s tips for a successful sale:
Experience: Hire an agent that has experience in your market area.
Listen: An agent is a real estate professional and will advise you of what your property is worth in the current market. The suggested list price should be backed by recent sales and more importantly what is currently on the market for sale in your immediate area (your direct competition).
De-clutter: Get rid of all the extra furniture, knickknacks and stuff around the home. By eliminating extra stuff, it will help show the space of the rooms and closets. Remember you are selling space, not furniture!
Clean & Fresh: Kitchens and Baths should always be spotless. Walls should be freshly painted and carpets should be clean. Bedrooms should be tidy and beds should always be made perfectly.
Light and Bright: Replace heavy curtains with lighter ones, keep blinds and shades open. A house full of sunshine is always a winner!
Always Counter to an offer: Offers from buyers, however ridiculous, should always be countered politely. With the current market conditions and all the media on the housing market…buyers are starting low and are much more cautious in bidding. Everyone these days is seeking a bargain, but with proper negotiations and realistic expectations, an agreeable price between seller and buyer can be reached. You never know what that buyer is willing to go up to unless you counter and play the game too!
