Sell Your Home For More
Sell your home for more. Ending up with more money at closing is what counts. This money, called net return, is your home’s selling price, less your debt and costs. Spending big bucks on improvements and marketing might get you a higher selling price but won’t necessarily increase your net return. Your strategy is to do only those certain things that will likely increase your selling price more than the cost of doing them. Realize that you probably will not be able to do them all. This booklet will show you what to do and what not to do.
Avoid Costly Mistakes
And Walk Away With More Money
Take some time to prepare; you can sell your house for more by heading off surprises. We mostly find maintenance items and simple fixes during a home inspection. Most issues can be resolved cheaply if given the time to do so. When you’re in a crunch to get them done before closing, it becomes expensive to get items fixed.
“PLAY FAIR – You’re entitled to all you can net out of your home. But some say that there is a fine line between salesmanship and deception. I disagree. Painting a room to improve cosmetic appearance is salesmanship. Painting a room to hide leaks on the ceiling is deception. The difference is clear. That is why I recommend that home sellers do four things. First, disclose everything you can about your home, including defects you know exist and even ones you merely suspect. Next, consider having a pre-listing inspection performed by a member of NACHI, the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors and give every prospect a copy of the report. Third, encourage and allow prospects to perform their own inspections. Having taken steps that alert your prospects to the negatives frees you to emphasize the positives. Lastly, I recommend using a real estate professional to keep everything straight. Many a buyer happily paid full price after a real estate professional found them the right home. Both seller and buyer are win- ners when salesmanship is combined with honesty.” – Nick Gromicko
