Tips For Sellers

TIP #1: HIRE A QUALIFIED REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL TO SELL YOUR HOME.

One of the first questions you may ask yourself when you choose to sell your home is if you should enlist the help of a real estate agent or sell it yourself. Selling your own home is known as For Sale by Owner or FSBO.

Typically, the reason homeowners choose to FSBO is to avoid paying commission to an agent when their property sells.

But consider this: Research by HomeGain revealed that home sellers are better able to sell their home using a real estate agent than by selling on their own – by 120 percent! What’s more, the typical FSBO home sold for approximately $65,000 less than a comparable agent-assisted home sale.

Home sellers can expect to pay anywhere between 3%-15% commission, depending on the type of property, current market conditions, and the sellers motivation. This commission is divided amongst the listing agent, the listing agent’s broker, the buyer’s agent, and the buyer’s agent’s broker. Many times referral fees and franchise fees are a factor, as well.

Securing a real estate professional and offering a fair commission are beneficial for multiple reasons. A fair commission motivates buyer’s agents to show your home over others, for instance. And although it may seem like a good idea to reduce the commission, it is also important to consider that real estate brokers and agents are responsible for MLS fees, insurance and membership dues. There is also the cost of overhead: computers, office equipment, transportation, signs, advertisement and so on. It’s a business with many expenses and without a weekly paycheck.

TIP #2: MAKE A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION

Ask Patricia for suggestions on how to improve the look and ambiance of your home, inside and out, so that you don’t miss out on a potential buyer. Be committed to making improvements and making your home shine. Patricia will work with you to compile a list of ideas that will get your home sold faster, at the best possible price.

Aaron Boone sold and found me a new home very quickly! My home sold in only 3 days on the market for more than the asking amount. After helping with a budget that best fit for me Aaron found me a wonderful small home that fit my criteria and that was not easy. I was notified anytime a home came on market promptly and scheduled to see it quickly at the schedule that suited me. Aaron negotiated to help get me the best price. He was very nice, knowledgeable and explained every walk thru the process. I would recommend him highly, especially to someone new to the process

We enjoyed working with our realtor from start to finish. We had a lot of specific things in mind in regards to our home search, and they were so accommodating. They did not stop tirelessly searching with us until we found “our” home! They were professional and courteous every step of the way, and they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, call the at home team.
