Wondering what your home
is worth?
A Market Analysis, conducted by
a real estate agent, will tell you the value of your property in
today's market based on what buyers have been willing to pay for
similar properties. It is NOT an appraisal, merely an estimate
of value based on features and condition of your home compared to
other homes in your area. Call one of our agents today at Century 21
Great Homes Realty for your free Market Analysis. No obligation.
It's the little things that count!
What can you do to prepare your house for showing? What small steps
can be taken to increase your chances for a quick sale? Efforts to
improve the appearance of your house can contribute greatly to its
marketing success. Small efforts, such as replacing defective light
bulbs; repainting damaged trim areas around doors and windows;
cleaning the carpets; and adding finishing touches such as fresh
flowers can make all the difference.
Maximizing Curb Appeal
Before potential buyers even see what the home has to offer, they view
its exterior. As a result, an unkempt or unattractive view of
the outside of the home could potentially result in a missed
opportunity.
To show your house in its best light, consider the following:
-
Move all garbage cans and gardening supplies from yard
-
Mow the lawn and maintain all planted areas
-
Replace any outdoor light bulbs that are not working
-
Sweep walkways and steps
-
Remove all small items from the porch or patio
-
Replace worn or badly stained door mats
Maximizing the Interior
Once a potential buyer enters the home, they need to determine if it
will meet their needs and expectations.
To give the best view of your home's interior, following these steps:
-
Remove clutter
-
Limit decorations, clear unnecessary items from the kitchen
-
Rearrange or remove furniture to highlight the space in a room
-
Review each room and clean or vacuum if necessary

Benefits of a Pre-Sale Home Inspection
To
ensure that you get the best possible price for your home, have an
inspection performed before listing your home. The inspection will
educate you on the present condition of your home. If any work is
needed, you can have it completed on your own time schedule rather
than the short time usually set for closing the real estate
transaction. With deficiencies completed before your home is put on
the market, you can confidently set a realistic price for your home
without the buyer finding deficiencies that would give them a
bargaining tool to possibly reduce your price. Remember, almost all
contracts are contingent upon completion of a satisfactory inspection.
Knowing your
deficiencies up front can result in a smoother sale and less hassel
when an offer is presented. A buyer is less likely to walk away from a purchase if the
deficiencies are not discovered after an offer is accepted.
If you want your real
estate transaction to run smoothly enjoy the advantages a Pre-Sale
Home Inspection will provide you.
