The 3 most important things a seller needs to do to sell fast and for top dollar.

What are the three most important things a seller should do to sell fast and for top dollar?

One: Price at or below the last comparable sale within a three to six month prior period. Take a look at the comparable sales in your area, find the sale that is closest to your property in scope, and list your property at or lower than what that property sold for. If you choose Homeowners Concept and pay just 1.5% commission, you can afford to price lower than the competition. Remember buyers could care less what you pay in commissions all they care for is the bottom line.

Two: Work with an agent who has a track record for selling many homes and has been in business a long time. All of the Homeowners Concept agents are carefully picked from many candidates and sell 3-4 times as many homes than the average agent and have 17+ years in business vs less than 5 yrs for the high commission agencies.

Three: Present your house in the best condition possible so potential buyers walk through the door and feel they could live there. Take the advice of a professional (again the Homeowners Concept is a great source of advice) in terms of what needs to be changed, removed, or added. In some cases, you might need a professional staging company to get the house ready for showings. After the property is ready, be sure to make it available for open houses and showings.
