What dictates the final sales price of your home?

Homes Sold for More sign rider on a listing sign for sale by Paul Aspelin

Every home seller wants the final sales price to be MORE, right? Agents are always talking about the importance of properly pricing a home for sale from the get-go. That’s because proper pricing from the start has been proven time and time again to be a critical first step in securing an offer for your home. But once you list the home for sale on the market, what steps have been taken to assure that you will be putting as much money in your pocket as possible when the home sale closes? Are you leaving things up to chance? Do you want MORE for your home?

Let’s explore 5 things that our devoted Homes Sold for MORE™ listing specialists do to put more money in your pocket.

1. Professional Staging

If the agents you are interviewing to sell your home DO NOT spend the money to hire a professional stager to come into your home and work their magic, you are leaving money on the table. Resale Home Staging is not something familiar to traditional Grand Valley agents, but we’ve got over 20 years of experience in this type of staging. We have contracted with a top staging company to provide these services to assure you get top dollar!

2. Professional Pictures

Everyone knows a picture can speak a thousand words, but did you know that professional pictures of your home can reap you thousands of dollars! You’ve only got seconds to capture the attention of buyers searching online, and an agents cell phone photo shoot doesn’t cut it in today’s world of professionally marketed homes!

3. Professional Pre-Inspection

Having your home pre-inspected by a licensed inspector will save you time, stress, and MONEY! If the agent you are considering using to sell your home doesn’t provide a pre-inspection as a regular part of preparing your home for sale, contact us today to find out how valuable this will be to your success!

4. Hiring a Professional Experienced Agent

Don’t get this confused with the new buzz word in REALTOR® marketing right now which is the word “expert”. Every licensed real estate agent is suddenly an expert in everything real estate. For decades, words like honesty, integrity, and trustworthy have been tossed around to the point they have become meaningless. Now we can add the word “expert” to that list. Follow the sound advice of “show me, don’t tell me” when interviewing the right agent to sell your home for the most money possible!

5. Take Advantage of the First Impression Period

Every year hundreds of homes sell for less than they should have because the agents hired to list the home don’t understand the critical first impression listing period. Traditional agents simply list your home then react to every hurdle as if it was unexpected. At Homes Sold for MORE™ we anticipate and prepare you to have the upper hand in negotiations and prepare you to tackle hurdles up front. All to position you for a quick sale, saving you time, money and stress.

These are just a few key things to consider when you start to speak to agents about selling your home. Every seller wants the final sales price to be as high as possible.
