Here are a few things Bruce Swinney and Associates recommends sellers to be aware of to get the most value out of your home.

  • The “true value” of your home is what a buyer is willing to pay for the property at the time of sale. This often times has nothing to do with what you paid for the home. Over or under pricing your home can detract buyers from considering or even seeing it. Today many buyers are using online real estate tools to view properties. If your home is out of their price range they may not even see the home even if you were planning on reducing during negotiations.
  • Getting the best price for your home can often take time and work. Homeowners who have lived in their home for an extended period can become immune to the little things that may be unappealing to buyers. Bruce can provide an objective view of your home and point out the things that can be altered on your own or at a low cost that could make your home value ROI improve.
  • A neutral home is more appealing to larger audiences. When you put your home on the market the goal is to create an environment that potential buyers can see themselves living in. Do your best to pack away things that are specific to your family and may not appeal to buyers. Keep the space free from clutter so the buyers can envision their things I the home.
  • Keep up a great outside appearance. To a lot of people who are considering your home it is one of many on a list. Some buyers will even do a drive by of the properties to eliminate some. It is important that your home looks great from the road so yours is not eliminated.
  • Negotiations are a “give and take”. Remember there are two parties needed to complete the sale of your home. Just like you and your agent are looking to get the best deal for you, the same goes for the buyers. Our agents can help you with this process to ensure everyone is happy and you are not giving up to much.
