Selling Your Home? Be Serious!
Attention all sellers: with the rare exception of several “pockets” throughout the United States, this is a buyers’ market. So how does a seller who seriously wants to sell, create the right environment for a bona fide “offer to purchase”? Be serious.
Know your local market; analyze what has sold in the past 6 months; watch HGTV and know how to show your home for a sale – lose those refrigerator magnets, the dark paint, the wallpaper, and the knick knacks. Finally, remember: there are qualified buyers who are ready, willing and able to buy even now. Don’t lose a sale because you are reaching for the stars. With absorption rates and inventory high, you need to be focused, dedicated, and serious about selling. If you “don’t need to sell,” and are just hoping to “see what will happen” – save yourself a lot of time and energy. Remember: a serious buyer is going to buy a home, but a property that is priced unreasonably or hasn’t been readied for sale will sit and age for months to come.
