Best Ways To Sell Realty

No one wants to move in to view a home that is dirty and no one will make an offer to

purchase it either.

If you have converted one of your rooms into something that works for you, but was

obviously not what the room was intended for, you should convert it back to its original use.

This means for a dining room that is used as a play room, make it a dining room. For a living

room that has a pool table in it, make it a living room. It will never sell being promoted like

that.

Cleaning up the kitchen is always a more time consuming task than you think, so give your

self a few days. The drawers and cabinets need to be wiped down and organized on the

inside. Remove all magnets and pictures from the refrigerator and also remove junk from the

top of it. This is a great time to throw stuff you don't need out. Keep your cleaning products

under the cabinet and the stove, microwave and refrigerator wiped down. Don't be cooking

any pungent food while your home is on the market. If they can smell it, we can't sell it.

If you plan on flying solo when selling your home, you are not alone. A common

misconception is that most people think they can't afford to sell their house using an agent.

The truth is the exact opposite. Unless you know someone who wants to buy your house,

you must market it. This is where it gets difficult and expensive. Everywhere you want to

market your house charges upfront fees. You will pay for newspaper listings, internet listing,

lawn signs, etc. All of this comes out of your pocket immediately.

A listing agent is there to help you on multiple levels. Their job covers pricing, marketing,

advising, and offering guidance before the process, through to closing. The general rule is

that when you list your house, you can market it to sell or market it to see that other houses

around it sell, if you consistently refuse advise from your agent, your home won't sell.

Any agent can, and probably will, market your property thoroughly. Many won't take decent

photos or spend the extra money on a professional photographer. The other part that

distinguishes one agent from another happens when you have a buyer who has made an

offer. You need an agent who will look out for your best interests in every way once you start

getting offers to purchase.

If you think your listing agent is supposed to be the one showing your home, think again. The

odds of the listing agent bringing the buyer to your home are lower than ever. Buyers shop

the Internet and then shop for a buyer agent. They understand that the listing agent

represents the seller and most are sophisticated enough to understand that they want their

own agent. Under normal circumstances your listing agent will only show your home if they

have a buyer in the market for a home like yours, or if an unrepresented buyer calls about the

property through your yard sign or other advertising.
