There are quite a few things that you can do to prepare your home for the market. At the minimum start by patching holes in the walls, fixing leaky faucets and replacing anything visibly broken. It’s also a nice touch to clean carpets, removing any wear or stains, and to repaint any bold colors a warm, neutral tone helping the overall value of your home. How much is my home worth?

How long will it take to sell my home? Great question! Although there is no definitive answer here, we can assure you we want to sell your home as quickly as possible. We invest heavily in marketing your home to expose it to the most amount of people possible. This increased exposure brings in more potential buyers and in turn more offers in a short amount of time. How much is the agent's commission? While usually commission is negotiable and depends on a few different factors, the normal rate is right around 6%.

Is there an ideal time to sell my house during the year? Yes and no! Properties will continue to sell year round but there are periods of higher demand. Depending on when you decide to sell could directly affect the amount of time on market and the final sale price of your home. Weather conditions, according to area, play a role in popular times for buying/selling. Generally speaking, spring is a season in which the market picks up. Towards the latter of summer, the market demand can get substantially slower as buyers and realtors take their summer vacations. Same goes for the fall. A second demand occurs up until about November, prior to the approaching holidays. The upside to keeping your home on the market during the holidays could be directly related to supply and demand, as there are constantly buyers in need of homes. Seller competition is substantially lower. What are my obligations to disclose to buyers? In general, you have the obligation to disclose anything that may be a potential problem or affect the value of the home. In most states, it’s illegal to directly conceal or lie about any major issues going on in the house such as termites, roof damage, or lead paint. Things like HOA fees and rules, neighborhood meetings, and zoning requirements should also be noted. Does staging my home make a difference? Homes that are staged sell roughly 88% faster than those that are not staged. On top of that, the homes that are staged sell for 20% more. Staging can make a huge difference because it offers the buyer a opportunity to envision themselves living in your home. If it comes down to painting your walls as part of the staging, be sure to use neutral colors! Should I be present when buyer's view my home? The short answer is no. When the owner is present in the home during a showing, it can make the buyer feel uncomfortable. You want potential buyers to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Buyers feel awkward when they ask questions or make negative comments if the homeowner is present. No search results found #### WE'RE READY FOR YOU # Let's Connect
