Maximize your home’s Selling Potential
Maximizing the curb appeal, a well kept lawn, fresh paint, uncluttered space. You know the basic tips to do what is necessary to make your house stand out from the competition. But there are a few other tips to maximize your home’s selling potential.
Make your home easy to show
Ideally, your MLS listing should read “call first, lockbox”. Requesting appointments or asking for tours only during certain hours may be restrictive. Agents are likely to show another listing that is more convenient to the buyer.
Offer a Competitive Buyer’s Agent Commission
Consider increasing the buyer’s agent commission to more than what other buyer’s agents receive in your area. Offering a higher commission to the buyer’s agent would attract more enquiries.
Market your house Online
In today’s world, one of the first places buyers will look for available homes is on the internet. We can’t over-estimate the power of the local MLS. Other places to advertise are real estate websites which have a proven track record. Once you have decided where you will advertise your home, be sure to promote it well. Buyers want to see pictures, virtual tours and data.
Offer buyer Incentives.
Offer incentives to attract buyers. These may include closing costs, move-in date flexibility, mortgage buy-down and down-payment help.
Make a Limited Time offer
Everybody wants a deal, and buyers are more motivated if an offer is going to soon vanish. Advertise a limited-time offer that buyers can snatch up if they act quickly.
