Last Minute House Selling Tip

Home selling tips are plenty – some suggesting things you might never thought of, some are general ones you’re likely to find everywhere. But just because they’re common doesn’t mean we should not give them. Here are my home selling tips of our own:

· When putting out your advertisement, never use the words "asking" or "negotiable" with your selling price. Use price with exact and precise number like $234,812 instead of $250,000 This will only make it seem like you’re not sure of the value of your home. Why bother setting the price in the first place if further negotiation is likely to change it anyways?

· When preparing your house, try to look at it from the buyer’s point of view. Would you want to buy a house like your own? If you house in great shape, the focus on kitchen, master bathroom and master bedroom! Now if you are in foreclosure, time is running out instead of focusing on the house start thinking who is a cash buyer and what do they want?

· Unless you’re sure you’re up to the challenge, hire a good agent and attorney to do the home selling for you. It may cost more, but it can save you a lot of pain. What is the purpose of the agent? They know the drill of the process when it comes to making sure get the check list. Here is my question for you, Will you get on a flight without a flight check? Probably not ... Selling homes are like once in a life purchase so get the best agent and best attorney that is on your side.

· Make sure you have a full Multiple Listing Service coverage – this is a powerful tip to remember. Multiple Listing Service is the strongest selling tool for your home. Some people would not even advise you to check for any offers before you see you home on MLS!
Use MLS to see how fast the similar home turn around time!

· Home showings through an open house is a good idea, especially if you live in a small town.

· Getting your clutter out of the way will not only improve the home showings, but also makes it easier for you to pack your things

· Finish off whatever new constructions you’re applying with your house. No buyers would want to finish what the seller left off!

· When negotiating with the buyer, throw your bad mood away. It’s hard to discuss price when you’re still upset about the buyer’s plans to cut down the tree you love. Maintain an interactive discussion and build up trust. Even if the offer doesn’t work out, keep up a good impression.

· Don’t let buyers’ offers sway you – consult with your attorney and your cpa and financial adviser about the price offered. Usually there’s a period of three days for you to accept or reject an offer. Also be prepared for home inspections, as usually this happens during this stage of the home selling process.

Like I said in the beginning of the article: home selling tips are endless, when you start looking for them. Choose only the tips that would best suit your needs and capacity. And if you still haven’t found one, chances are you’ll find it soon.
