To assist home sellers, a new industry report has just been released called “27 Valuable Tips That You Should Know to Get Your Home Sold Fast and for Top Dollar.” It tackles the important issues you need to know to make your home competitive in today’s tough, aggressive marketplace.
Tip # 1 Understand Why You Are Selling
Your motivation to sell is the determining factor as to how you will approach the process. It affects everything from what you set your asking price at to how much time, money and effort you’re willing to invest in order to prepare your home for sale.
For example, if your goal is for a quick sale, this would determine one approach. If you want to maximize your profit, the sales process might take longer thus determining a different approach.
Tip #2 Keep the Reason(s) You Are Selling To Yourself
The reason(s) you are selling your home will affect the way you negotiate its sale. By keeping this to yourself you don’t provide ammunition to your prospective buyers.
For example, should they learn that you must move quickly, you could be placed at a disadvantage in the negotiation process.
When asked, simply say that your housing needs have changed. Remember, the reason(s) you are selling is only for you to know.

Tip #3 Before Setting a Price- Do Your Homework
When you set your price, you make buyers aware of the absolute maximum they have to pay for your home. As a seller, you want to get a selling price as close to the list price as possible.
If you start out by pricing too high, you run the risk of not being taken seriously by buyers and their agents. Pricing too low can result in selling for much less than you were hoping for.
Tip # 4 Do Some “Home Shopping” Yourself
The best way to learn about your competition and discover what turns buyers off is to check out other open houses.
Note floor plans, condition, appearance, size of the lot, location and other features. Particularly note, not only the asking prices but what they are actually selling for.
Remember, if you’re serious about getting your home sold fast, don’t price it higher than your neighbor’s.
Tip # 5 When Getting an Appraisal is a Benefit
Sometimes a good appraisal can be a benefit in marketing your home. Getting an appraisal is a good way to let prospective buyers know that your home can be financed.
However, an appraisal does cost money, has a limited life, and there’s no guarantee you’ll like the figure you hear.
Tax Assessments- What They Really Mean
Some people think that tax assessments are a way of evaluating a home. The difficulty here is that assessments are based on a number of criteria that may not be related to property values, so they may not necessarily reflect your home’s true value.
Tip #7 Deciding Upon a Realtor
According to the National Association of Realtors, nearly two-thirds of the people surveyed who sell their own homes say they wouldn’t do it again themselves.
Primary reasons included setting a price, marketing handicaps, liability concerns and time constraints.
When deciding upon a Realtor, consider two or three. Be as wary of quotes that are too low as well as those that are too high.
All Realtors are not the same! A professional Realtor knows the market and has information on past sales, current listings, a marketing plan, and will provide their background and references.
Evaluate each candidate carefully on the basis of their experience, qualifications, enthusiasm, and personality. Be sure you choose someone that you can trust and feel confident that they will do a good job on your behalf.
