With the correct approach and a little work, you can sell your home in record time.  And what may be bad for sellers can be good for buyers, and these days, savvy buyers are out in spades.  There is a lot of things to consider, including condition of property for upcoming inspections.  And then, the finding the right buyers for your home, since every house is different.

Here’s a check list to review when considering selling a residential property:

Experience sells  –Hiring a skilled, trusted, Real Estate professional gets homes sold in the shortest amount of time for the most amount of money. Your choice of a Real Estate Agent matters. This is where I come in to the sell process, and highlighted below with key examples.
Know your local Real Estate Market -additional intelligence provided by the Realtor
A clean, uncluttered home sells
Homes priced right sell  -again, additional intelligence provided by the Realtor
Selling a home is inconvenient – this is more of an acknowledgement
Repairs left undone will cost you more money than the repair itself
Overpricing your home helps to sell your neighbors home
Buyers love to negotiate the home sales price after the home inspection – Key reason to rely on the Realtor
Buyers love to grill Sellers present at home showings -Which is why your Realtor will strongly encouraged that Sellers not be present on site at showings.
Smelly homes sell for less money
Cash is not always King – whether a “cash” or a financed purchase, it is cash at closing.  The difference is the hurdles and potential if cash generates a “re-trade” on pricing.
Well maintained homes sell for more money
Lollygagging and ignoring communication jeopardizes home sales – key reason why your Realtor also stays on top of the transaction.  Communication is of major importance, and lack of responses is not a negotiating tool.
Buyers must envision themselves living in your home
Photographs and Videos can sell homes
Trying to hide a defect will haunt you – and any defect will come up in the Inspection Report.
Cooperation continues to be the name of the game – one of the the trade marks of the professional Realtor
What you love isn’t what a prospective Buyer loves
Closing date is move out date  – seems obvious, however, there is the lag time in the transaction purchase process.  Your Realtor is going to be providing regular updates, and encouragement for the correct move out strategy and options.
Requiring that a Buyer meets financing eligibility increases your likelihood of selling your home -The Realtor will be keeping tabs on the financing process, and that the Contract dates are met.
