Pricing Your Home

When you think about it, there are several other homes for sale competing with your home. I will help you price your home competitively to attract qualified buyers. The way I do this is by generating a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report, which will show you a range of prices being paid for homes in your area. You can complete my online form to get a feel for your home's market value.

Every Step Of The Way...

Remember, I will be working for you every step of the way to make sure that you get the highest possible price for your home in the shortest period of time.

TIPS TO HELP SELL YOUR HOME

Look at Your Home:
No one ever buys a house without looking inside, so make sure they want to get out of the car when they first arrive. Mow the grass, trim the landscaping. Tree limbs should be a minimum of four feet off the ground. Does your house need to be cleaned? Do all the lights work at night? Does the paint need any touchups? Any spider webs or bird nests where they shouldn't be? Straighten up and organize the closets.
Does Everything Work?
If lights don't come on, or exhaust fans don't work, you're losing money. If the pool or spa water isn't sparkling clean take care of it right now. Just fix it!
How Does Your Home Smell?
Ask your Realtor for a candid assessment of your home's smell. You can't always count on a good friend for a completely honest answer. Funny how we get used to the smell of dirty diapers, dog hair, cigarette smoke or cat urine. A potential buyer will be put off and a lower offer is assured.
Let the Agent Sell Your Home:
Don't try to give a tour of your home to buyers. You probably have no idea what they may be looking for. What was one of your favourite features may be the first thing the new buyer would change. Let an agent that has discussed their needs show your home.
Know the Value of Your Home:
Price Your Home Right. Yes, we all need and want the best price, as in the highest price, for our abode. But be realistic. It might do wonders for the ego and daydreams, but a high price tag does little if it doesn't come accompanied with a sale. If anything, it has kept your home effectively out of the market. Once you and your Realtor have agreed upon an asking price based upon the aforementioned market evaluation, bring in a reality check. Stand in front of your home and try to look at it through a buyers eyes.
Get a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) done
Anyone thinking about selling their home would want an idea of its current market value. A Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) is one way to estimate that. However, there is another important reason to have a CMA of your home. You may be paying unnecessary private mortgage insurance (PMI). When you purchased your home, a down payment of less than 20% of the home's previous CMA meant most lenders would require PMI. A current Competitive Market Analysis may indicate you now have enough equity in your home to discontinue those PMI payments. Your mortgage company will require an appraisal to eliminate that fee, but a CMA will give you a good idea what that appraisal will say. Elimination of your PMI would reduce your monthly payments without any refinancing or closing costs.
"Benefit and Feature" Sheet
Create a For Your Home Reach back in time and remember why you bought the home in the first place. What caught your eye, what appealed to you? Write these reasons down; more often than not, new buyers will also be attracted to these same features. List every good point, every benefit, your property and your neighborhood enjoys.
