It's time to move on. Your family has outgrown your first home, you think your home is at maximum value and it is time to capture the gain, or you must move to another community for that next job opportunity.
Selling your home is a complex, time consuming process. The building and grounds must be made as attractive as possible and may even need some update or remodeling to maximize it's price potential. Any property will sell in a reasonable amount of time if it is priced appropriately. Will you be able to determine a realistic market value and set an attractive listing price that will produce offers that you will find acceptable? Your property must be advertised effectively in the local market to attract the most qualified and motivated buyers. Prospective buyers and their agents must be able to view your home at times that are convenient for them - not at your leisure.
Many first-time home sellers believe that they know the local market because they have been reading the Real Estate section of the newspaper or have been searching on line. However, market conditions can change rapidly, even in the most stable markets. A qualified professional Realtor can determine the realistic market value of your home using up-to-date technology and their vast network of contacts with other Realtors.
Discount real estate companies offer lower seller's commission fees. If you consider using a discount or flat-fee broker, make sure that you understand what they will be doing and what will be left for you to handle. A full-service real estate company will not require you to show your property yourself or have you hold you own open houses. And, with your home listed in the local Multiple Listing Service, you can be assured that Realtors from all over the area will be aware that your property is available. Also, a full-service broker will take care of all advertising of your property and keep you up to date on how the property is showing in the current market.
The technology of selling is changing fast. The most important thing to keep in mind when selling is market exposure. Can you or your agent maximize your home's exposure in the marketplace? Will they utilize a Marketing Plan to make sure your home is seen and visited by motivated buyers?
