As we’ve already seen, the COVID-19 virus has created uncertainty around the globe. The health and welfare of our community is our priority. So, at this time it is recommended to have social distancing. Now, if you are already in the process of buying or selling or even if you are just thinking about it, I would like to offer you some suggestions that you can implement at this time that will get you closer to your goal of buying or selling.
Would you like to know what is available to you while you are home?
How much can you sell for: The first question when you are thinking of selling your home is How much can it sell for? A home Evaluation will give you an idea of a range that houses are selling for in your area.
Instant Home Evaluation: You only need to enter your home address and It only takes 15 seconds to get a result. It is less precise than a manual home evaluation but it is quick and easy. Follow the link to get your instant home eval: http://bit.ly/Property_Eval
Manual Home Eval: I would be happy to provide you with a home valuation so that you know what your home is worth in today’s market. If you provide me with some basic information on your home, I’ll be able to give you a price range. That range will be determined using the information you provide to establish a list of comparable properties in your area as reported by the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Or
This range will be the starting point for a more precise valuation that I’ll be conducting when we decide to put your house on the market by briefly visiting your home.
Get your house ready: You want your home to be appealing as possible to buyers so they can appreciate space and features that your home has to offer. Here are a few ways to create the best first impression
De-Clutter: remove the clutter from your home. You don’t want potential buyers to become so puzzled by the things you’ve collected. You want them to look at the space, appreciate its best features and become convinced of its potential for their family.
Small Repairs: Money spent on repairs can make a difference in the final sale price for an important reason. Buyers tend to overestimate the cost of performing repairs and will often reduce their offer by a higher amount to compensate for the expense.
A better strategy is to perform the repairs before putting your house on the market.
Simple repairs that make a huge difference in marketability and offer price are:
- Replace cracked windows and torn screens.
- Fix or replace any broken stairs or handrails.
- Fix leaking plumbing fixtures of faucets.
- Replace exterior locksets and garage door openers if damaged.
- Replace broken or leaking gutters and downspouts.
- Clean, repair, or replace the roof.
- Repair or replace any worn boards on decks or porches.
- Have your heater and air conditioning units serviced and filters replaced.
Landscape: You only get one chance to make a good first impression! When selling your home, creating curb appeal is an easy way to improve the desirability of your home, and it helps to make your property stand out from the competition.
Clear your Garage: Don’t forget your garage: your garage shouldn’t be a landing pad for junk. Get organized and create a beautiful space.
