SELLING YOUR HOME
Selling a house is relatively simple, but does take organization and patience - two skills you have had to apply in many situations! Organization is essential to get your house ready to sell and to have needed documents readily at hand. Patience is required through the final steps of the transaction, as inspections may reveal the need for some repairs, or your buyers may encounter some delays in securing financing.
"STAGE" YOUR HOME TO APPEAL TO BUYERS
There are three major guidelines to keep in mind, when preparing your home for prospective buyers to see:
- You have created a home that reflects your personality. Strip out as much of "you" as you can, so that buyers can imagine the house as their home. This includes photos of family members.
- We live in a very diverse country. Remove any items that may offend some buyers, or make them uncomfortable. You're going to be packing, anyway, so put those items in cartons, and stack the cartons in the basement or garage.
- Although all prospective buyers will be accompanied by a licensed REALTOR, it is not always possible for one person to show your house and keep their eyes on what everyone is doing. So, pack up your valuables - especially very small ones - and your collectibles.
