Selling Your Home
Cultivate Interest and Generate Offers
Once you’ve taken care of the preparations, it’s time to get to work gaining the attention of your home’s next owner. Here is where the guidance of a seasoned professional really pays major dividends. The sale of a home is serious business, and most folk’s agree now isn’t the best time to learn by trial and error! It’s true that “Time is money,” but perhaps more importantly time is fleeting. Most sellers have demanding timelines that don’t leave room for mistakes, so eliminate them by working with The Selling St. Charles County Team.
Negotiation
Finalizing the terms of a Residential Sale Contract is a delicate procedure that requires all the usual skills of diplomacy; your agent needs to be tactful, tough (but not overly so), informed and knowledgeable if you are to achieve the best outcome. And the process of closing on a home doesn’t stop at the counter offers alone since you likely will be faced with inspection notices, and the repair work that will follow. This stage raises a new set of challenges and negotiation points.
It is also important to consider that market conditions have a tremendous impact on the particulars of any real estate transaction. A Buyer’s Market is quite a different climate than a Seller’s Market, and a Balanced Market has its own demands as well. It is crucial that your real estate agent has experienced these fluctuations in the marketplace, and that they have done so in the St. Charles County area specifically.
Preparing For The Sale
Maximize Your Results
Now that you’ve decided to sell, it’s time to get your home looking its best. That little problem spot you’ve grown accustomed to ignoring will stick out like a sore thumb to the watchful eyes of prospective buyers, so now is the time to address it. As is true in most things in life, a little bit of planning goes a long way, and in the world of real estate that preparation is often rewarded with a higher sale price, a shorter listing time, or (better yet) both.
