How to sell your home faster and with less stress!

• Do not choose the agent who priced your home the highest.
• First do Market Research - remember that buyers determine the price.
• Make sure that your home compares favourably with others in your price range and area.
• When you choose an agent, make sure that he/she is active in the area, and has a good track record.
• Determine what features make your home stand out, and show it out to the agent.
• Give proper viewing access to the agents.
• Point out permanent fixtures which remain with the property.
• Look at first offers, they are usually the best.
• Price the home within 10% of Market Value.

What is Market Value?

Market Value is the price which compares with other, similar homes in the area.

REMEMBER ALL BUYERS ARE COMPARISON SHOPPERS!

Why is overpricing risky?

• Over priced houses help to sell the competing house first.
• Buyers willing to pay an over-market price may have difficulty getting financing - The bank will find problems with valuation.
• Your unsold home begins to get stale. The marketplace will assume that there is something wrong with the house, because it does not get sold.
• Make up for lost time. You might be forced to drop your price below market value.
• Estate Agents are also aware of overpriced homes, and know that it will not compare well with others in its price range.

The answer to selling your home within your mandate period is mainly price and location.
