Sellers Guide:
How to Sell Your
Home at the Highest Possible Price
Making a mistake in selling a home can cost you hundreds or
thousands of dollars in lost profit. Often home sellers make the
same mistakes over and over. Avoiding these mistakes is easy and
takes little time and effort on your part. Take the time with
your home sale and follow the guidelines in this report.
- Distress Selling: At times, selling quickly is
unavoidable. That’s when knowing the right techniques to
sell your home without looking desperate and making yourself
a target for low bidders really pays off. Know all there is
to know about the market before listing and work hand in
hand with Rey Armendariz. Ensure that
you are not settling for the first offer through the door.
- Best Home in the Neighborhood: Your home is one
of your most personal possessions. Don’t be blind to flaws
and needed cosmetic improvements. This will cause
overvaluing of the home, hurting its chances to be sold.
Listing with the Denver Real Estate TEAM gives you a well informed third
eye that will help you price your home at a fair market
price.
- Limited Home Viewing: Buyers want to view a home
on their own time schedule. Unfortunately their time
schedule does not always coincide with your time schedule.
A lockbox will be provided so your home can be
shown when you are not around. You never know if the one who
got away was your buyer.
- Restrain Emotional Decisions: Don’t allow a few
hundred dollars to ruin a sale. That money will mean very
little to you in the long run. Take a look at the big
picture and react rationally. Use sound business judgment!
- Make Cosmetic Improvements: Prospects make up
their minds within the first twenty minutes. First
impressions can make all the difference in selling your
home. Spending $1,200 on new carpet might add another $4,000
to the price of your home. Get an objective point of view
from your Denver Real Estate TEAM. They can provide you
with a list of items that will maximize the profit of your
home sale.
- Disclose Property Flaws: Property disclosure laws
require sellers to list any flaws required by your state. If
you are unaware of flaws or attempt to cover them up, you
risk losing the sale and finding yourself in court. Get
professional assistance from Rey Armendariz who can introduce
you to qualified inspectors and ensure the smooth sale of
your home.
- Refusing to Trust Your Agent: Would you tell a
physician that you’ve decided to run your own tests and come
to your own diagnosis? By choosing the Denver Real Estate
TEAM, you
can relax and trust their judgment. The right agent is a
valuable team member who will protect your best interests
and make your sale as profitable as possible.
- Know Your Market: Most homes that do not sell in
their first listing period are priced too high. Conversely,
most homes that sell quickly may be priced too low and cheat
the homeowner out of profits. You need to understand the
market and evaluate the value of your home based on fact,
not gut instinct or conventional wisdom. The Denver Real
Estate TEAM knows the market, just as you know the market for your
business.
- Choosing a Realtor Based on Personal Relationships:
Home sellers often pick a friend or family member as their
agent. Choose an agent with a strong track record and
aggressive Marketing Plan. A top producer knows the market
well and can generate many buyers. Selling your home is one
of the most important decisions you’ll ever make! Base it on
good, sound business sense and the rewards will add up.
Before you make one of your most important decisions regarding
your home sale shouldn’t you become as informed as possible? By
aligning yourself with a top agent you ensure that all the
important issues and seemingly insignificant but....very
important....details are handled professionally. Your home sale
should not be a grueling ordeal. The more informed you are, the
better chance you have of making a sound business decision.
