Want to be sure your home sale is
trouble free and smooth as silk? Are
there any steps you can take to insure
the most rewarding sale possible? You
can run the bases with a simple fourstep
home run approach to selling.
First, step up to the selling plate by
having your home appraised. That’s
right - have it appraised before it goes
on the market. Price is important to you
- right? You do want to receive the top
market price, don’t you? By having an
appraisal done first, buyers have a
difficult time justifying a lower offer.
Next, hire a home inspector, and ask for
a complete report on the condition of
your home. With the report in hand,
complete any needed repairs and
address any other items on the report
that would concern a prospective buyer.
By taking this step up front, you can
further short-circuit buyer attempts to
purchase your home at a reduced price.
Buy a home warranty policy to further
reassure buyers they are making a
sound purchase at a fair price. The
policy will cover any unanticipated
repairs to major systems like plumbing,
electrical, etc. after the sale.
Finally, step back to the curb and take a
close look at your home. Pay attention to
cosmetic improvements that would
improve a buyer’s first impression.
Why are these four steps so important to
the sale of your home? Very few home
sellers are willing to invest the time and
money to insure buyers’ satisfaction
with their home. Your home stands out
above the rest, and you can leave early -
during the seventh-inning stretch.
