BE AN ACTIVE HOME SELLER
Since you first decided to sell your home, you’ve had to work hard – making home repairs, finding a REALTOR® you like, choosing the right asking price and dealing with all the paperwork, to get your home ready for market. Now that your home is listed at last, you might feel an overwhelming urge to sit back and let your REALTOR® handle the selling part. But statistics show that home sellers who are active participants will sell their homes faster – and for the best price.
Competitive sellers stay informed about their real estate market. They check out homes in the area that have sold recently and see how they compare. They listen to their REALTOR’s and buyer’s feedback and make the necessary upgrades to improve their home’s appeal. They keep their home showing ready and work closely with their REALTOR® throughout the bargaining process.
Being an active home seller from beginning to end can make all the difference to the success of your home’s sale.
