It probably goes without saying that the first step in the home selling process is making the decision to sell. For some this decision will be difficult and emotional. For others the decision will come quite readily. There are a plethora of reasons that spark the idea of selling in a homeowner’s mind. What We’ve found in our practice, however, is that by the time a homeowner contacts us to sell their home, they have already made the decision to sell; provided they can achieve their goals through the selling process. One thing is absolutely certain, if you are considering moving you are not alone! According to the U.S. Census Bureau since the 1990s more than 40 million Americans a year decide to move. What’s more, approximately one third of these folks move across the county or state line. According to a recent study by moving giant Bekin, 70 percent of all residential moves are within the same county. In our area, thousands of sellers successfully SOLD their home last year alone; that number has been fairly consistent for several years. We firmly believe that in order for you to avoid disappointment during the selling process we must set the right expectations.

Selling Your Home Once you decide to sell your property, you need to realize it evolves from your residence into a product. Before listing it, here are some tips on sprucing up your product. Most sellers make the mistake of assuming the way they live in a home is a good atmosphere in which to conduct a sale. It is not. Homebuyers are not looking for a property in which you, the seller, seem comfortable. They are looking for a property in which THEY will feel comfortable and can envision themselves settling down in. This may sound like a minor distinction, but it is actually very large. If you can wrap your mind around this fact, you will have a much better selling experience. First and foremost, you must understand that people have different tastes. The particular chandelier or aspect of your home, which is unique, may seem appealing to you, but not to buyers. Emotionally, you must be prepared for buyers to make rude comments regarding aspects you might cherish. Remember, it is a product to be sold and nothing else. If they don’t have taste, that is their problem. On the other hand, they could be the buyers of the property you are trying to sell, which is your problem. Remember that when you are about to make a snide remark. 1. Clean up closets – sellers look. 2. Clean up garages – sellers consider it a sign of how you took care of the home. 3. Clean the refrigerator – make it spotless. We are talking surgical room spotless. Your home is likely your single largest asset, and deciding to sell it is a big decision – perhaps the biggest financial one of your life.
