Steps To Selling Your Home Meet with Your Cheyne Real Estate Agent
During your initial meeting, your Agent will bring research of comparable homes that have sold in your neighborhood. The Agent will also discuss the average time homes are selling in your area. Different pricing strategies will be discussed. Your objectives to selling the property will be outlined and the Agent will create a marketing plan specific to your goals.
Hire a Home Inspector
While your Agent will advise you on a host of real estate matters, he or she is not a professional home inspector. Cheyne Real Estate recommends having a general home inspection take place. That will alert us to any conditions of the property that may impact its salability and will allow us to identify any repairs or improvements that might be advisable to do to get the property ready to be sold. Your Agent can recommend a respectable appraiser.
Hire a Professional Appraiser
It is important to make sure that potential buyers can get appropriate financing on the property. We recommend you hire a professional appraiser to confirm the market value of your property. You will be much more comfortable knowing that any offer you accept is a fair and reasonable offer, and that the buyer will be able to get financing to support the offer. Your Cheyne Real Estate Agent can recommend a professional appraiser.
Get your Property Show Ready
Your Agent will go through your property and provide tips to making your property more marketable. Some simple but easy ways are to remove access clutter and personal photos, put a fresh coat of paint on the walls and add fresh flowers outside. Your Cheyne Real Estate agent will give you a check list to help keep you on target. If you are selling a vacant home, it may be a good idea to stage the property. Your Agent can help you stage the home or if needed, will recommend a professional home staging company
After these steps are completed, your property is ready to be listed on the market! Your agent will take pictures of the property, create marketing pieces, and list your property on various advertising sources, including the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). Your agent may also schedule open house events and agent tours of the property
