Listing Services and How I Will Help You Sell Your Home


You put your home up for sale and it simply does not sell. Undoubtedly, this can create a lot of stress, inconvenience and anxiety for you and your family. Perhaps you already bought another home or you need this home sold because of a job change. Regardless of the reason, it’s certainly a burden! These reports will help you find out why your home did not sell and what could be done to prevent your listing expire again.



Selling Your Home

Remember what first attracted you to your house when you bought it? What excited you about its most appealing features? Now that you're selling your home, you'll need to look at it as if you were buying it all over again.

Surviving the Sale

Getting a good price for your home is important, but minimizing stress and simplifying the selling process can be just as essential.

The Right Selling Price

When you’re selling your home, the price you set is a critical factor in the return you’ll receive. Learn several factors to base the assessment of your home.





“Profit occurs when preparation and experience meet opportunity."
 

When it’s time to sell, you must be confident that every element of negotiating the best terms and the highest price has been set before your home is even listed. Start with the resources I’ve provided. There is no charge for this information. These will help get you started in terms of assessing your real estate situation and planning for a stress-free and successful sale.

The real estate market in Grand Rapids is volatile, especially lately, and it takes an experienced professional to move your house quickly, professionally, and profitably. When you’ve decided to sell, I will be your advocate, your guide, and your fierce negotiator. I will work hard to make yours a great sale. I look forward to it.

Sincerely, Joe

 


Your Plan

 

1. Find the right representative
The experience and knowledge of a dedicated real estate professional can be priceless. A good Realtor® forms a powerful team with his or her clients that makes it possible for them to have a smooth, successful, stress-free sale.

2. Determine your needs/wants for the sale and for your new home
Selling your primary residence can be tricky because you have to simultaneously be thinking about where you would like to buy. First weigh your priorities – selling price is certainly important, but having a quick and efficient sale can often be worth accepting a slightly lower offer. Talk to your agent and make sure you’re comfortable with where your priorities are.

At the same time, you should be compiling a needs/wants list for the home you will buy. You will probably have to act fairly quickly when your house sells, so any amount of preparation you can do will serve you well.

3. Prepare your house for showing
Underprepared homes can be sales disasters. Your home will never get as much attention from potential buyers as when it is first listed, so clearing clutter, cleaning, making repairs, and putting your home’s best foot forward is essential. Don’t “open for business” until your home is ready to be seen as favorably as possible.

4. Find out what your local market looks like
Being realistic about your market is the key to a smooth sale. There is no substitute for a professional real estate representative when it comes to local market knowledge.

5. List away!
Lots of photos and online exposure are the key to getting a good response for your listing. Working with an agent who uses Point2 Agent software is a great step in the right direction. Now just “open” the house and sit back and wait for the flood of eager buyers!
