Price Your Home To Sell

There are several factors that will influence the success of your home sale. While some, like the location, interest rates, and broader economic conditions, are out of your control, others are within your reach to improve. These include the condition of the home, the timing of your sale, and the strategy you employ to market and price your property.

If possible, waiting for the right time to sell—such as during the spring or fall when the market tends to be more active—could help your home sell faster. But even more crucial is pricing your home correctly from the start. A well-priced home can attract the right buyers quickly, while an overpriced home may sit on the market for much longer than you’d like.

As your dedicated real estate professional, I’ll work closely with you to price your home competitively. Together, we’ll study the local market, research comparable properties, and assess current market conditions to determine the best price. This is where the “comparative market analysis” (CMA) we discussed will be invaluable.

To get an even better sense of where your home stands, we’ll also take a look at your competition. Here’s what we’ll consider:

With this information, I’ll help you position your home in the best possible light, ensuring it stands out to buyers and attracts strong offers. Together, we’ll make sure your home is priced just right to sell quickly and for the best price.

• Your competition: How many properties similar to yours are currently on the market in your neighborhood?
• Listing prices: What are other homes like yours being listed for?
• Selling prices: What have similar homes recently sold for?

Getting Your Home Ready for a Successful Showings

Once we’ve agreed on the market price and marketing strategy, the next crucial step is preparing your home for potential buyers. First impressions matter, so giving your home a thorough cleaning is essential. Clean the drapes, carpets, and furniture, and eliminate any clutter. The goal is to make your home look as neutral and inviting as possible—almost as if no one lives there. This creates a clean slate where buyers can imagine themselves making the space their own.

If you’d like extra help with this, I can recommend professional home staging services. A stager can use what you already have to highlight your home’s best features and create an appealing flow between rooms. They’ll also have a keen eye for determining which personal items should stay out and which should be tucked away to allow the space to shine.

When it comes to the exterior, curb appeal is just as important. Keep the lawn neatly trimmed, prune the rose bushes, and remove any weeds. Store away garden tools, hoses, and any other items that could create clutter. Be sure the exterior lighting works and is bright. Also, keep an eye out for any stray flyers, newspapers, or handouts that might collect at the front door or driveway.

Inside, we’ll focus on brightening up the space. Open the curtains, turn on the lights, and clean the windows to let in natural light. Declutter surfaces like kitchen counters, bathroom sinks, and coffee tables. Make all the beds and give your bathrooms and kitchen a deep clean. Vacuum throughout the home, paying special attention to corners where dust or cobwebs may have settled. And don’t forget the trash—make sure it’s taken out before a showing.

If you have pets, it’s a good idea to keep them in a safe, quiet place during showings, whether that’s in the garage, basement, or at a friend’s house. Ideally, it’s best to be away from home during showings or open houses. If you happen to be there, I recommend greeting potential buyers and then politely excusing yourself to give them space to envision the home as their own.

This is your home’s time to shine—and with these simple steps, we’ll help ensure it makes the best possible impression on every visitor.

From Offer to Closing:
What to Expect

Once you’ve accepted an offer on your home, the next steps include a series of inspections. Expect your property to be assessed by a housing inspector, a termite inspector, an appraiser, and possibly other specialists. Based on these inspections, the buyer may request repairs or improvements—such as fixing a leaky faucet or addressing a roof issue. I’ll be there to help you decide whether to fulfill these requests, negotiate, or stand firm, depending on how it affects your deal and your priorities.

During this busy time, it’s important to keep your home in show condition, as the sale hasn’t officially closed yet. The deal could still fall through, so we want to be prepared in case we need to show the home to other potential buyers. At the same time, the buyer will be working with their lender to finalize the financing for the purchase. Once the buyer has received written loan approval, we can set a closing date.

Before the deal is finalized, there will be a final walk-through. The buyer will inspect your home one last time to ensure everything is in working order and that any agreed-upon repairs have been completed.

Once everything is signed and sealed, it’s time for you to prepare for your move. Notify utility companies to transfer your accounts to your new address, and start packing! Congratulations, you’ve successfully sold your home!
