Eight
Essential Tips To Help Sell Your House
[1] Price
your home appropriately. Overpricing your home is a losing
strategy. GLR can prepare a free Comparative Market
Analysis to help you understand your home's value.
[2]
Choose your broker carefully. Gone are the days when
sellers must list with a full-service, full-commission,
Main St. location broker in order to sell their home. GLR
can save sellers a significant amount of money in
commissions.
[3] Make
sure your broker is into web marketing. Over 85% of buyers
look for houses on the internet. The photos should be
appealing. GLR posts our listings on hundreds of websites.
[4]
Clean, Clean, Clean! Make your house bright, light, and
spiffy. Many buyers will rule out a house within five
minutes if it's too dirty or cluttered or smells funny.
Landscaping and minor repairs are important. GLR offers
construction management consulting for our customers.
[5]
Consider staging your home. Make your home shine by adding
or removing furniture, artwork, photos, plants, rugs, and
accessories. Proper staging could add $50,000 to your
home's value! GLR offers staging consulting sessions to
our customers.
[6] Arm
your agent. Prepare your house file so you have all the
important information at your fingertips. This includes:
roof, septic system, electrical system, heating zones,
furnace, stove, washing machine, dishwasher, dryer,
survey, Certificates of Occupancy, etc.
[7] Make
yourself scarce when buyers stop by. Buyers are turned-off
when sellers are at home during a showing.
[8] Have
your home ready to show. When you're on the market, your
home should be clean and available to show every day. Keep
sidewalks and driveways clear of snow and ice.
