10 Things You Must Know Before Selling A Home!
Be aware of any tax implications! Rules change from year to year; check with your CPA or ask your REALTOR® for assistance in finding a professional.
- Property condition disclosure is the area where most legal trouble occurs. If your home has any material defects, even if repaired, they must be disclosed!
- Staging your home is the most important preparation you can make to help your home sell faster and for a higher price! De-clutter and make improvements that are badly needed! Carpet and paint may be necessary!
- Open houses rarely result in the sale of your home. Most agents use open houses to meet new buyers!
- Overpricing will almost always backfire and result in a lower sales price than an accurate initial price.
- Understand any contingencies - yours and your buyer's!
- Provide up to date information regarding special assessments! Avoid any surprise assessment charges at closing!
- Understand showing procedures and why it is so important you are not home when your home is being shown!
- Appraisals for refinances, if done previously, do not reflect an accurate market value!
- Marketing with creative programs, such as "My Comunity" increases the number of buyers that can buy your home!
