"Drive-Up
Appeal": Get your Property Ready to Show
When preparing your property to show, work
your way from the outside in. It is
essential that your home possess a certain
"drive-up appeal". Remember, a potential
buyer's first impression of your house is
formed while s/he is still sitting in the
realtor's car. So, first you need to view
your house from this perspective. Go stand
on the opposite curb and observe your
property. Compare it to surrounding
properties.

Inspections: Top Ten Problems
Each homebuyer has different ideas of what
will constitute the ideal home for them,
these notions often based on particular
aesthetic preferences. But one thing that
unites all potential homebuyers is the
desire to find a home that is fundamentally
sound - in areas beyond the immediate sweep
of the eye - and that will provide a safe,
comfortable, and efficient foundation for
their life behind a new door.

How to Get Top
Dollar for your Home, Fast!
Your home is likely your largest asset, so
selling it may be the biggest financial move
you've ever made, one that requires
significant thought and strategy. However,
once you've entered the market, the process
may move very quickly: your property has the
best chance to sell within its first seven
weeks on the market. Studies indicate that
the longer a property stays on the market,
the less it will ultimately sell for. So,
you need to ensure you're ahead of the game.
Get your property into top selling shape
before it hits the market in order to
increase its chances of selling within the
desired window of time and drawing top
dollar.

How to Set an
Offer Price
There is no set equation to determine how
you'll reach an offer price. Rather, the
process involves a range of research and
comparison that will vary with each
situation. You'll need to look at sales of
comparable properties, and factor in
additional data such as the condition of the
property, the current market, and seller
circumstances. With this information in
hand, you will be able to determine a fair
price range and, from there, establish the
price you're willing to offer.

Know the Market
before You Buy
The asking prices of most homes on the
market indicate the current state of the
market, and usually mirror the prices for
which other similar homes in the area have
recently sold. In deciding upon a selling
price, a home-seller must establish a
balance between the desire to draw the
highest offer and finding a price that will
be reasonable enough to attract an
appropriate pool of prospects, and
competitive offers. While most selling
agents counsel their clients to consider
this equation when pricing their home, keep
in mind that some homes are not properly
priced.

Second Time's a
Charm!: Sell the House that Didn't Sell
Don't get discouraged if your property
hasn't sold during its first appearance on
the market. Your home may actually have been
one of the most appealing listings of its
kind - and the reasons it didn't sell may
have nothing to do with the property itself
or the market. Rather, a number of separate
factors may have influenced the outcome.
Take a step back, break your original
selling method into parts, and allow
yourself time to evaluate each one. Make a
commitment. Establish a new approach. Stick
to it. A reassessment of your system, and a
shift in perspective, may be just what you
need to realize your ultimate goals in the
sale of your home.
