BENEFITS

When showing your property, you only get one chance to make a good impression. Here are some suggestions to increase the desirability of your property to potential buyers, and help you sell at the best price, in the least amount of time. Curb Appeal Is Essential - A buyer’s first impression is formed by viewing the outside of your property.

Trim plants and trees, weed your front back and side yards, use leaf blowers to remove leaves, pods, plant debris. Inspect the exterior of your property, including shutters and windows. Steel or aluminum siding should be clean. If the house needs painting, buyers will notice, and may consider it a major objection to purchasing your property.

Pay close attention to the front door –� it should sparkle. Polish the doorknob, clean the glass and replace worn screens.

Neatness Counts –� A sparkling clean home greatly enhances its appeal to buyers. Scrub each room from top to bottom covering every nook and cranny. The entryway, kitchen and bathrooms are key areas, and should be given special attention. Shampoo the carpeting if it hasn’t been done recently. If your carpet is old or matted it will be a detriment to selling the property. Consider replacing it or removing it if there is hardwood underneath.

Eliminate Clutter –� Closets, cupboards and other storage areas should be neat and uncluttered. Box everything you do not use regularly and donate it, sell it, throw it away or store it. Look at each room in the house with “less is best” as your objective. Remove unneeded furniture to make each room appear more spacious. Kitchen counter-tops should be clear of everything except what you use daily.

If it’s Broken, Fix it –� Repairs such as loose door knob, broken dishwasher, dripping faucet and squeaky or sticking doors all detract from a property’s value. An afternoon spent making needed repairs now can eliminate buyers’ objections later. Hire a professional, if needed.

Small Additions Make a Big Impression –� With minimal expense, you can improve the appearance of any room. Consider replacing worn area rugs and throw pillows. New towels can freshen a tired kitchen or bath. Flowers add warmth and charm to any location. Identify the things you can do to make areas more pleasing to a buyer.

It’s a Team Effort –� Enlist the help of all household members to get the house ready –� and keep it ready –� for prospective buyers. A few minutes spent tidying up each morning can make the difference for a showing in the afternoon!

These statistics are based on information obtained from the ARMLS on 4/3/2013 using Brokermetrics software. Information is believed to be reliable, but not guaranteed. Months of Inventory (MOI) reflect the time period required to sell all the properties on the market given the number of closed transactions in the preceding month, provided no new product becomes available. This is an excellent benchmark to show the velocity of transac-tions in relation to the market inventories. This measurement is a broad one and will vary (in some cases dramatically) by price range, location and type of property.

the first 30 days Send a message to your buyers about

your motivation Net the seller less

It is important to remember that the value of your home is ultimately not set by you, but rather by the amount of money a buyer is willing to pay for it at any given time.

BENEFITS

Pricing Your Property to MoveYour property will generate the most attention and showings in the first weeks it’s on the market. For best results, you should list it at a realistic price right from the beginning. If your price is too high relative to the competition, the right buyers will not even look at an otherwise attractive property - particularly during the critical state of initial market exposure.

Trend of Inquiries per Week on Market

Pricing it right from the start will give your property maximum exposure.
