 Getting
started
Getting ready to sell your home doesn't
mean right away, you should have your
home in read to sell condition all
the time. If something is in need
of repair, Get it fixed. If your yard
is in poor shape. Landscape it. Home
ownership should be fun. Take care
of it and it takes care of you. Your
neighbors will appreciate it to.
The
Day comes
The time has come to sell your home
whatever the reason be and your ready.
Everything is how you might expect
to find it say you where looking to
buy it for yourself, or getting their
anyway
Time
and Money
This is IMPORTANT you need to be careful
with this. Chances are good that if
you are selling your current home
you may be owning or looking to buy
another home at the same time. This
means a double mortgage. This could
be very risky considering that your
old home may stay on the market for
a while ...There are answers(eg.Bridge
Loan) Or agreements can be made conditioning
the sale. Seek Qualified assistance
for these matters.(its worth
it)
Appearance
Looks aren't everything (there is
salvage value). You really need to
get everything clean and presentable
when selling your home. It could change
the value by thousands of dollars
either way. If the house is poor the
only buyer interested will be the
guy who buy's it cheap and sells sells
it clean for a lot more. Don't Just
give money like that away. Always
encourage inspections this protects
you. Cracks and water damage do affect
property value. But someone has to
foot the bill. Be honest seek qualified
assistance. for inspections.
Yourself
or With an Agent?
It would seem that of course
you can sell your home without the
help of an agent. It is possible but
is it worth it. That depends on a
lot of things. Your schedule, are
you ready to show your house a dinner
time with no appointment? Do you feel
comfortable with the paperwork involved,
and know where to get it? Do you Know
when and where to find financial,
legal, appraisal, and inspection information.
Are you ready to discuss terms of
sale negotiate conditions for a closing?
There are many advantages to have
an agent list your home. and despite
the financial gain many customer often
figure what your saving and offer
around 5% less than what your asking
to just as if you where using an agent.
Representation is very good for a
individual with little experience
in the real estate business.
Selling
Price
The most common approach to figuring
out a sales price for residential
property value is called the Sales
Comparison Approach. SCA is done by
finding comparable homes near yours
and adjusting their value to fit features
and improvements to yours. With out
an agent, an appraisal would give
you the best indication of what your
home is worth. Seek Assistance with
this.If an appraiser valuates your
home later and finds a big difference
between that and the sales price you
set it may cause you problems down
the road.
