27 HOME SELLING TIPS TO SELL YOUR HOME FAST AND FOR TOP DOLLAR
The number one question I get from home sellers is...What do I need to do to get my house ready to sell?
Hello there. Erik Braceland here with Braceland Homes, where we guarantee the sale of your home...or we’ll buy it ourselves. Today I want to share some real estate insider secrets for preparing your home to sell fast and for the most money!
During my last several years helping San Diego home sellers command top dollar for their homes, I've compiled a list of 27 valuable tips you should know to get your home sold fast and for top dollar. I'm going to share how to get this complete report of all 27 Home Selling Tips shortly, but first let’s go ahead and take a look at some of these because if these aren't followed, it could cost you thousands!
1. Avoid The Temptation To Sell Your Own Home!
I've fallen into this trap myself when trying to sell investment property, back when I was an officer in the US Navy, and before I went into real estate full time. Saving all that money for commission that you would have to pay a real estate agent is a strong temptation. Can you do it? Maybe. It's especially tempting during a seller's market like we're in right now. Many have tried, but most eventually hire an agent in the end to get the job done after struggling to sell their home themselves.
I tried it. And after several months of no offers, I hired an agent that ended up being one of my first mentors in the industry. He sold my rental property for $50k more than I had even dared list it for sale! So, like me, many home sellers trying to do this on their own fail to price their home correctly to get the most money for it.
I recently helped one home seller who had tried to sell her home for several years with NO Sale. She hired me to sell her home, and was shocked when I sold it for over $32,000 ABOVE what she was previously asking! Our complete 27 Home Selling Tips report goes into further detail about why doing this on your own is very risky and could end up costing you more than an agent's commission ever would.
2. Do Your Homework Before Setting Your Asking Price.
Guess what? Zillow has not seen your home, even though they give an automated value or "Zestimate" of your home to the world! Same goes for Trulia, Redfin, Realtor.com, etc. If you don't know how to properly and accurately determine a home's value you should probably consult a real estate professional that does. If you live in an area where all your neighbors houses look exactly like yours, then you can probably get a pretty decent idea of what your home could sell for by looking to these internet sites.
But what about your additions and upgrades? Do you keep your home in pristine condition? How about your neighbors that recently sold? Did they? Do you think the valuation models that the internet sites use account for variations like those?
I recently helped another home seller, sell their home for $21,000 Over the Zillow “Zestimate” because we actually saw the home inside and out. We also did our homework, and I understand the actual Local market not just the theoretical Internet market! Our 27 Home Selling Tips also cover how to price a home realistically vs optimistically which results in home sellers getting the MOST money when they sell.
