Hey guys! It’s Lauren Miller-Nelson with the Nelson Home Group Kearney Strong at Keller Williams Kansas City North. One thing I love about my job is helping homeowners sell their properties quickly and for the best terms. Today, we’re going to discuss some essential advice for selling your home. Planning and preparing are key to a successful sale, so let’s dive right in!
First impressions matter, and that’s why enhancing your home’s appearance is crucial. We’ve discussed home improvement tips in a prior video, including enhancing curb appeal and completing any necessary repairs or renovations. Check that video out for more information on my suggestions! It’s also important to declutter and depersonalize your home to allow potential buyers to really be able to envision themselves living in the home. These steps can significantly increase your home’s appeal and help you achieve a faster sale.
One thing we offer to our clients to help with this is a free consultation with our professional home stager prior to photos and showings. At no cost to you, our professional home stager will walk through the home with you room by room and give advice and suggestions on what should be done to showcase your home in the best way. She works with the current aesthetic of your home, your furniture, your budget, and your timeline to maximize the space and ensure you are in the best position to appeal to the widest variety of buyers possible.
Now, let’s talk about pricing your home. It’s essential to maximize your return while also being realistic about market trends, your home’s condition, and current demand. A Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA as you will often hear, can help you understand your home’s value compared to similar properties in your area. Working with a local realtor who has access to such market data and expertise in pricing in your area is crucial.
Once your home is ready to hit the market, it’s time to focus on marketing. Professional photos are a must – they can showcase your home in the best possible light and attract more potential buyers. Utilizing social media platforms, hosting open houses, and working with a realtor who has a comprehensive marketing plan are all essential steps to ensure maximum exposure for your property. The more buyers that see your home the more interest you will receive and the more likely you are to receive the best terms and potentially multiple offers.
And there you have it – some essential seller advice to help you achieve a successful sale. Remember, working with a realtor who understands your local market and has the expertise to navigate the selling process is key.
