Sell a Home, Not a House

One of the great ironies of selling your house is that you must get it in such great condition that you may ask yourself why you would even want to move out. Your focus right now may be on your own dream home, but consider your current house as someone else’s dream home, and start preparing it for them. Using a REALTOR ® helps you understand what repairs/ updates are necessary and which are not so you can maximize your profit.

Who Else Do You Need On Your Team?

While a great REALTOR ® is key to selling your home, you will actually be employing a team of specialists to get you through the process. Your agent is well-connected and in many cases they will be able to recommend people who will handle all the services that go with fixing-up and selling your home, including: lenders, pest control specialists, home warranty companies, inspection companies, contractors, and plumbers. In fact, my list of trusted contractors is vast and covers many different industries for everyday life.

Timing It Right

When you are selling your home and buying a new one at the same time, the ability to juggle the responsibilities of both can protect you from headaches. FIND A REALTOR ® THAT WILL TAKE THE STRESS AWAY.

The time is never going to be perfect and the time is never going to be wrong.  Normally when you find the perfect place you weren't even "really" searching.  This is why you need someone that has been through it before, already has a plan in place and keeps everything on track and communicates all the necessary items and actions.

You have a lot to pack, your REALTOR ® is there to handle all of the important and logistical items such as doing a proper market analysis to ensure your property is listed at the appropriate price, ensure and provide professional photos, get your listing on the MLS and other major sites, market your property outside of those sites, schedule and handle open houses, ensure all appropriate inspections are done, handling offers as they are submitted and presenting offers to you in an easy to understand way, negotiate and advocate for you with your best interest in mind, help you make informed decisions and ensure your transaction stays on track.

Lighten The Load

As you begin packing to move to your new home, the realization will probably hit you like a ton of bricks: You have a ton of stuff. Rather than packing it all and lugging it to your new house just to stuff it into the garage and closets, lighten your load and make your move easier. A garage sale is a great way to unload lots of your little-used items and make a little extra cash to spend on decorating your new home. You can also sell some of your rarer possessions on sites such as FB Marketplace. You may get a pretty penny for old toys and books which might have sold for a lesser price at your garage sale. Also consider donating furniture and clothing to charity. You’ll be doing something good for yourself and for others.
