5 Ways To Help You Sell Your Property
By Joanie Miller | July 3, 2009
While there are numerous ways to help your property appeal to buyers in today’s market, here are five simple tips to help sell your property.
- Cut your asking price – We’ve seen it many times, once the Seller drops the asking price to the “sweet spot,” multiple offers ensue.
- Update your landscaping – There’s a reason why there are so many “Landscape Your Home!” shows on television. Reason: buyers love landscaped properties — and just about anyone for that matter. Trimmed hedges, beautiful flower beds and a well manicured lawn are all pluses in the Buyer’s eyes.
- Talk to friends – Do you use Facebook? Great! So do we. But, it’s not about us — it’s about you. Posting your home for sale on your Facebook page opens your property up to multiple people. Remember, your friends might know someone looking to buy. Another option is by going to the Panama City MLS, click on “Search by MLS Number” and get the link to your MLS sheet. Email this to all your friends.
- Price your house strategically – Though you should always listen to the advice of your REALTOR®, you may may want to rethink that $309,000 asking price. Why? Because people typically search by the $100,000′s. So, if you’re property is $309,000, it will come up in the $300,000-$400,000 range. But, if you price it at $300,000 it will come up in both the $200,000-$300,000 and $300,000-$400,000 ranges.
- Be ready and offer inscentives – Be ready to move when the closing date is around the corner. Also, you may want to offer inscentives to Buyers such as closing cost assistance, a free home inspection, a free year of association fees, and many others.
