  5 Steps to House-Selling Success

The Essential Steps That

WILL SELL YOUR HOUSE!

Step 1: PREPARE TO SELL

 

 Ask yourself: If you were buying this home what would you want to see? The goal is to show a home which looks good, maximizes space and attracts as many buyers

While part of this step relates to repairs, painting and other home improvements, this is also a good time to ask why you really want to sell.

Selling a home is an important matter and there should be a good reason to sell — perhaps a job change to a new community or the need for more space. Your reason for selling can impact the negotiating process so it’s important to discuss your needs and wants in private with the Realtor who lists your home.


Step 2: GET A REALTOR
There are more than 2 million people nationwide who have licenses to sell real estate, of which about over 1 million members belong to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Only NAR members are entitled to use the term “Realtor.” NAR members must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. By joining NAR, individuals have access to a wide range of classes, seminars and certification opportunities.Once your home is listed with a Realtor, he or she will immediately begin to market your home.

 Step 3: PRICING
In considering home values, several factors are important including: local sale prices, supply and demand, community job base, population fluctuation, how fast you want to sell, etc. Also keep in mind that the price goes beyond just the sell price as you have to consider allowances for scenarios like roof repairs, funding two mortgage points, re-painting the entire house and if you leave items behind like the washer and dryer. Because all transactions are unique there is flexibility in the marketplace. The amount of flexibility depends on local conditions. Experienced Realtors have handled many transactions, they’re familiar with the terms and conditions that went into individual sales, not just published sale prices which may not reflect various premiums, discounts and adjustments.

Step 4: MARKETING
 This is where the beauty of having an extraordinary real estate agent becomes vital. Realtors can explain what repairs and upgrades are required for individual homes which are most likely to produce the best results. Agents will execute strategies and programs to get the home sold. Typically this includes placement on the local MLS and Realtor.com as well as related marketing, advertising and networking.

Step 5: CLOSE THE SALE
Realtors assist owners in the bargaining process, offering advice and counsel as offers are received and by working closely with legal counsel, tax specialists and inspectors as required.Once a contract for the purchase of a home has been accepted, a series of inspections and checks are typically required to satisfy buyers and lenders. Real estate agents can help owners complete the transaction process by assisting with the many requirements found in a typical sale agreement.
Real estate bargaining typically involves compromises by both sides. It’s not war; it’s not winner-take-all; and it’s not the time to take personally any comments made by purchasers.
      Instead, negotiating should be seen as a natural business process; buyers should be treated with respect; and owners should never lose sight of either their best interests or their baseline transaction requirements. These are the standards unique to each owner, which must be met before the home can be sold. The seller and their Realtor will need to carefully review offers, consider marketplace options and then determine whether an offer is acceptable.

For Sale By Owner

By

I can understand why many sellers want to sell their home on their own. At the same time, the majority of the time they spend money on ads and other sources that will not necessarily generate the correct traffic.


Here is an article from Realtor.com  that shares information about For Sale By Owner.

 
For most people, a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction simply isn’t in the cards. Here are five reasons why.
 
1. FSBOs can’t list their home in the MLS unless they pay a fee.
 
2. Agents won’t show FSBO homes.
 
3. FSBOs usually overprice their home. 
 
4. Buyers will feel intimidated. 
 
5. FSBOs are likely to stumble into legal trouble. Real estate transactions are fraught with potential liability for innocent sellers, particularly in California that has extensive disclosure requirements. A FSBO who overlooks even one required form or legally mandated disclosure could face a protracted and expensive buyer lawsuit after the transaction closes.
 
Seek the advise of a Real Estate Professional and eliminate the unnecessary liability, stress and potentially make more money.
