What smart sellers do.

 Five Things your agent should tell you when you list your home.

1. Not Preparing Your Home for Sale-potential buyers may wonder whether the house has larger, costlier issues that haven’t been addressed. Your house needs to go on stage; it needs to be cleaned up, made up and touched up!

2. Expecting To Get Your Asking Price- the Buyer dictates the price. Not the seller. Fairly priced homes bring in buyers- over priced homes sit on the market.

3. Trying to Hide Significant Problems-fix the problems ahead of time.

4. Know your local market,  your potential buyers and what are they likely to offer. Knowing how your market is behaving will help decide on how you price the home.

5. Can this buyer afford my house? You have to asses if the buyer is qualified to buy your home- your agent can help.
