Three Factors That Get Your Home Sold
Whether you choose to use a real estate agent/broker or decide to list your property for sale on your own, here are three things you can control to help get your home sold verse having it sit on the market with little attention from buyers.
1. Great condition sells!
Buyers are attracted or distracted immediately by the condition of the home. From the curb appeal to every room in the house, to the backyard, it all matters. Below are some ways to help improve the condition of your home or property.
A. The first impression begins at the curb.
- Keep grass freshly cut
- Remove all yard clutter
- Apply fresh paint to fences
- Paint the front door,
- Clean windows inside and out
- Wash or paint home’s exterior
B. Interior should be bright and inviting
- Clean or add a fresh coat of paint to walls and ceilings
- Clean all bedrooms, bathrooms, windows, light fixtures, baseboard and fans
- Declutter and organize closets and cabinets
2. Marketing Your Property
Having a marketing plan in place is a way for maximum exposure of your home in the shortest period of time to attract potential buyers quickly.
- Price your home or property competitively
- Take plenty of quality photographs
- Place “for sale” signage
- Optimize your home’s internet presence by posting your property on Home 4 Good Belize platform.
- Schedule an open house for potential buyers to view your home.
3. Price to Sell
A well-priced home creates interest, attracts buyer, generates showings and produces offers in a shorter amount of time. While an underpriced home may sell quickly it may detract buyers who wonder “what’s wrong with it?” Likewise, an overpriced will be evident by a lack of interest, fewer showing, no offers, a longer time on the market and possibly price cuts. To help determining the right price for your property, speak with a home appraiser to provide an evaluation of your property value.
