For Sale By Owner: Considering Selling Your Home as a For Sale By Owner?
Thinking of selling your Kew Gardens home by yourself? With all of the houses for sell in the area you will want to make your home stand out above the rest. With most houses being sold by real estate agents there are several things you will need to do to keep up with the competition.
Start with a good market analysis of houses in the area to know how to price your home. The first couple of weeks of marketing will be critical. If your home is overpriced, no one will look. If it’s under priced it may sell quickly but you will be short changing yourself.
Stage your home and prepare it for showing. Take a good objective look at your home and try to see it through the eyes of a buyer. What appeals to you? What is a detriment or eye sore? Fix the things that aren’t appealing and accentuate the things that are. Are there things that are broken? Fix them. Pick up the toys, put away the clutter, clear out the dust bunnies and trim the hedges. The cleaner and neater your home is the more appealing it will be.
Don’t overlook marketing. Marketing is the most important element when selling your home. Good photos are a must. A virtual tour is a good tool. Newspapers, internet and flyers are all good ways to market. Holding and open house is one a great way to bring buyers and agents in to view your home.
