If you are serious about selling your home, you must treat your home like a product to be sold. The more attractive you make it, the quicker it will sell…
Here is a list of the top reasons that houses don’t sell in today’s market:
• Priced too high – This isn’t the only factor, but very important. Evaluating what other homes around you have sold for will give you a good idea where yours will sell. Take advantage of our 1% listing fee to reduce your asking price and your home will sell much faster.
• Commission offered to the buyer’s agent is too low - Unfortunately buyer’s agents aren’t as likely to show and sell your home if you are offering a very low commission.
• No curb appeal – Cut or remove those overgrown bushes and remove all the yard clutter and it will go a long way. Seasonal flowers and pine straw will also help make your home stand out. If people can tell you take care of the outside of your home, they will be more likely to want to come inside.
• Inside the home is full of clutter - Buyers want to visualize themselves in your home, not see your clutter. If it is difficult to navigate through your home, you may need to remove some furniture. Buyers want open spaces. Removing personal items like family photos helps to de-personalize your home. Open the blinds to bring in natural light during showings.
• Home is dirty – Buyers are instantly turned off if a home is not clean. It tells buyers that you haven’t taken care of the home. A clean smell upon entering the home is very appealing.
• Difficult to schedule a showing – The more limitations you put on the times and advance notices you require to show your home, the more buyers you are keeping out of your home.
• Listing photos are bad – If it doesn’t look good online, buyers are not likely to want to see your home in person.
• Information listed online is incorrect – We double and triple check to make sure everything is correct before we list a home.
