How to Show Your Property to Buyers12/3/2017 Once you have your property selling plan in place and have determined your asking price, it’s time to prepare your house for visits by potential buyers. Obviously, it is important to clean and spruce up your home, both inside and out. But you also must consider whether to make any major repairs or upgrades.
Should you apply a new coat of paint in the master bedroom? How about putting down new carpeting or fixing the faucets in the laundry room? These are not trivial issues. Some of these items may be necessary and some not, but all will cost you something. Some buyers will accept a certain amount of fix-up if the asking price is adjusted to reflect the home’s condition, while others will walk away if there are any issues, even cosmetic ones. A good real estate agent will help you decide what fixes are necessary and also can suggest the best ways to present your home in ways that emphasize its key selling points, be they a new kitchen or bath, a beautiful fireplace or a lush lawn and garden. All sellers ultimately have to negotiate with potential buyers. In most instances, there will be offers and counter-offers until both sides agree on a deal. As a seller, you should be prepared to accept less than your asking price if the offer is still in the acceptable range for comparable properties and reflects a realistic assessment of current market conditions. However, you should never feel undue pressure to accept a truly low offer, unless you are under considerable duress due to time or economic constraints. You also may have to adjust your price downward if a home inspection reveals significant defects in your home’s condition. This article is posted by Real Estate SEO Services .
