It is inevitable that after purchasing your first home, you
will one day want to sell it. Now that the new has worn off, you may be ready
to move on to a different house. Whether you are wanting to relocate to a new
town or find a bigger home for your family, selling at the Lake of the Ozarks
can be hassle-free. Take into consideration some of the tips provided by your
expert real estate agent in Lake Ozark, MO.
1. Price It Right
The price of a home can determine how quickly it will sell, depending
on the current local market. Many homeowners want to get the most money for
their home, that way they can easily upgrade in their new space. Overpricing
can actually hurt your chances of selling, especially if a number of price
reductions will be needed to sell the property.
2. Include Extras
Extra incentives included in the sale of a home can entice
potential buyers to act quickly, especially if it is an item in which they are
in need. There are a number of ways to sweeten the deal as a home seller.
Consider including the washer and dryer or other household appliances in the
sale of your house. Sometimes the seller can even offer to pay closing costs
associated with the sale, to help encourage buyers to act on the property.
3. Remove Clutter
Often first time home sellers have never prepared a home to
sell before. Try to remove unnecessary items around the home. Keeping your home
clean when it is for sale, is imperative. You want potential buyers looking at
your home to see what a great place it is to live, not notice the dust on the
coffee table or the cobweb in the corner. Along with removing clutter, personal items should be taken down. Think of this as a time to prepare for your move.
Pack up family pictures and memorabilia that adorn your walls and shelves in order
to help buyers envision themselves living in your house.
4. Focus on Curb Appeal
Many potential home buyers will drive by a house before
deciding to schedule a showing of it. Ensure your house is appealing from the
outside. Keeping your lawn and landscape trimmed can help your home stand out. Also
adding an eye-catching item to your front porch, like a colorful flower pot or
a fall décor display, can draw attention to the home.
5. Make the Right Repairs
If there is an easy and inexpensive fix that can be made to
improve your home, go for it. Some first time home sellers want to make major repairs
or even remodel entire rooms before selling. Although this can be beneficial, it
does not always work out in the favor of the seller. The return on investment
is not guaranteed when doing a big remodel or update right before selling.
6. Detach Yourself
You may be more attached to your home than you realize. It
can be easier to get through the negotiation process if you detach yourself
from the house you are selling. Keep in mind, there is a reason you are selling
and it is time for the next step in your life.
7. Select Experienced Real Estate Agent
When selling your house, the real estate agent you select is
a key piece to the success of the sale. Find an agent who will use their
marketing strategies to promote your home, for a faster sell. Get to know you seller’s
agent to ensure they have your best interest in mind, when listing your house.
