Marketing Your Home
Everyone wants to sell their home for the highest possible value and in the shortest amount of time. However, very few people take the time at the beginning of the process to help make that happen. Yes, many people make repairs or upgrades, tidy their houses and even do some staging and then throw up a sign in their front yard and wait for buyers to show up. Sometimes that strategy works and sometimes it doesn’t. What does work on a consistent basis is a well thought out marketing plan. A marketing plan helps you to ensure that as many people as possible know that you’re selling your home which gives you the best chance of the right buyer discovering their new home in yours.
A simple coat of paint can work wonders.
The first person you need to add to your team is a qualified realtor. A realtor can advise you on what your home is worth, give you simple staging advice such as what to include/exclude at the price you want to list at and what repairs should be done prior to going to market. It is in your best interest to be completely honest with your realtor; after all, it is their responsiblity to have your best interests in mind – they are working 100% for YOU. They will need to know certain things, such as any financial constraints, your preferred timeline and any pertinent reasons for moving* to better serve you. The more your realtor knows about you and your requirements the better the better they are able to serve you and help you get the price you want in the timeframe you want it in.
You realtor should already have a comprehensive marketing plan that they will be able to customize to fit your specific needs and should explain it in detail to you at one of your first meetings. If as many people as possible are to know about your home for sale, then enlisting a realtor brings a wealth of experience in marketing homes and other contacts. Maybe one of their other clients is looking for buy a house like yours!
