Roswell Ga Residential Real Estate Specialist Who Uses Creative and Proven Strategies To Sell Homes For More Money and In Less Time
Over the past few months and years, a real estate buying frenzy drove up home prices to eye-popping amounts. However, as mortgage rates have risen, buyer demand has cooled. Consequently, home sellers who enter the market today may need to reset their expectations. This is often a very hard realization for a homeowner who just watched their neighbor's house sell for record breaking price with multiple offers all within the span of 24-48 hours!
If you want to net the most money possible for your property, you’ll need an effective game plan and a skilled team of professionals to implement it. Fortunately, we’ve developed a listing strategy that combines our proven approach to preparation, pricing, and promotion—all designed to help you get top dollar for your home.
?But you will play an important role in the selling process, as well. Here are some crucial steps you can take to set yourself up for success:?
Most buyers want a move-in-ready home, which means that any outstanding repairs or dated features can be a major turn-off. Before your home hits the market, we’ll conduct a thorough walk-through to identify any problems that could prevent it from selling. In some cases, we may recommend a professional pre-listing inspection.
?We’ll also help you identify upgrades that offer the highest return on your investment. For example, new paint can give your home a fresh look at a reasonable cost. Minor landscaping improvements can also pay off in a major way. A healthy lawn offers an estimated ROI of 256%.[1]
When buyers view a home, they’re trying to envision themselves living in it. That’s hard to do if it’s filled with your photos and memorabilia. Plus, cluttered homes look smaller and dated. Now is the time to donate excess items and remove personal collections. If you feel overwhelmed by the process, we can refer you to a local service for help.
The process of decorating your home to appeal to buyers is called staging, and it can be a game changer. Studies show that staged homes sell faster and for more money than their unstaged counterparts.[2] Some sellers hire a professional stager, while others prefer the DIY route. We can advise you on the best path for your property.
Most of us don’t live picture-perfect lives, and our homes reflect that (sometimes messy) reality. But when your home is on the market, it’s important to ensure that it is always ready for viewers. Just a few minutes a day wiping down counters, sweeping the floors, and vacuuming can make a big difference. Remember: A missed showing is a missed opportunity to sell your home.

The temptation to list your home on the high side can be strong, but it’s best to be realistic from the start. The longer a property is listed, the more buyers worry that something is wrong with it.[3] Of course, you also don’t want to set your price too low and lose out on potential profit. That’s why it’s essential to work with real estate agents (like us!) who know our local market and what buyers are willing to pay today.
It’s only natural to feel offended if an offer comes in below your asking price. However, sellers who act rationally are going to get the best results. Keep your expectations reasonable and remain open-minded. And you can rest assured knowing that we’ll be by your side every step of the way to help you navigate the process and negotiate a great deal.
