Home Fixes Before Summer Ends

Summer is over. As much as we’d like to have endless fun in the sun, nature has its way of putting us all back to work. So before the air starts to get colder, it’s time for us to take our maintenance projects into fruition. Having a great Real Estate agent is a huge plus when planning to overhaul our home before putting it in the market. Real Estate agents, the good ones, understand which particular home fixes take priority, in the process helping us save time, energy and money.

Here are the things home sellers should prioritize:

Outdoor painting – Most homeowners don’t have the time or the resources to invest on full house painting. The best way to deal with this is to go around the house and start touching up areas which require polishing. Always remember that peeling pain is undesirable for potential buyers, scrape and sand the area, prime and paint again for an even texture.

Outdoor Caulking and Sealing – With fall and winter inevitably coming, leaks or cracks could mean disaster and increased heating bills. Check the windows inside and out, replace or reattach things which are seemingly pulling out.

Concrete and asphalt patching – As a rule, asphalt should be sealed every other year so if you have missed a cycle, it’s time to repair your driveway with asphalt patching material. Check your concrete walkways for holes or cracks as they can easily be repaired with epoxy patching material.

Patio and deck maintenance – If you have brick patios, replace the missing bricks. Level off areas pushed up by tree roots and re-grout where weeds or any other elements have degraded the hold between bricks. On wood decks, rotten boards need replacement. They can be painted or stained as necessary.

Landscaping – A well maintained lawn adds quality to your home. Keep it clean and attractive. Weeds should be pulled out, rotten fruits and nuts cleared to avoid infestation and make sure trees and shrubs do no scrape the side of the house. Ask your Realtor for affordable local landscaping companies which can offer professional help.

10 tips for a smooth home sale

Putting your house out in the market can be exasperating. The entire process needs your time and energy for a good result – but almost always, when done the right way, the end result would more than satisfy you.

It is very important to surround yourself with experts who know the ins and outs of the business. They will guide you on how to effortlessly go through the entire process of getting yourself a buyer and achieving a smooth transaction.

Choose the right Real Estate professional

               If you are planning to sell your home 

              choose a Realtor who  is knowledgeable 

              about the current market situation and has

              the credentials to prove it. Your Realtor is  

              going to be your advocate and  

              represents your best interest. He must 

              be trustworthy and upfront in all your

              transactions.

Understand the process

Meet with your broker, lay your cards on the table. Keep on asking, a great Realtor won’t mind questions. Voice out your realistic expectations and have him walk you through the entire process from start to finish.

Choose a good attorney

Choosing an experienced, local real estate attorney is crucial. Ask your broker for recommendations. A good lawyer  can help you save time and energy.

Prepare your home to go on the market

The golden rule is “Less is more.” Walk systematically through your home with your broker to decide what needs to be done to make it ready.

Market your home

Your broker needs to be using print and Web advertising, social media, YouTube videos, individual domain sites, blogs, key words, etc., to reach today's buyer who is sophisticated, knowledgeable, and online.

Pricing is everything

If the price is right, a bidding war can happen. A realistically priced house obviously sells more quickly. Always remember that buyers are value-conscious, they always do research before they embark on this equally life-changing journey.

Host open houses

Making the effort to host regular open houses is important. Your broker should be available and excited about the opportunity.

Negotiate an offer

With our current market situation, offers usually start low. Don’t fret, it’s perfectly normal. Keep your emotions at bay, you never know where the offer will go so do not be afraid of countering. Working through the details in a calm manner always achieves the best results.

Deal with the inspection

Understanding the importance of the inspection is the first step to maintaining the emotion-free tone necessary during negotiations.

Move on

Your house is finally sold. It’s time to organize and move things out of the house. Your broker will disclose to you the local laws regarding smoke/carbon dioxide inspections, utility transfer etc. Now you can celebrate your successful sale and move forward to even greater things.
