Preparing Your Property to Show to Potential Buyers

An appealing home, yard, parking lot, etc. will be an attractive “First Step” for potential buyers visiting your property.  View your property with a critical eye.  What can you do to make it more appealing?  The changes you make do not have to be expensive.  Consider the following:

• Pay attention to the landscape.  Plant some flowers.  Replace all light bulbs that may be out

On the Inside

• Clean your home or commercial building, including the carpet. Everything should sparkle.
• Repair leaky faucets.  Clean the kitchen and bathroom areas especially well.
• Eliminate odors and any items that others might consider to be offensive
• Eliminate clutter.  Organize sloppy areas.  Apply a fresh coat of paint, in a neutral color

Offering Incentives

• Incentives such as home warranties are a good way to attract buyers. The decision to offer them, however, is entirely up to you. Put in writing what you are willing to offer to prevent any misunderstandings.

Showing Your House

• You will maintain total control over showing your house.  We let you know about all serious inquiries regarding your home.
• You will want to show your house to qualified buyers who are seriously considering purchasing a home. A pre-approved buyer has actually been approved for a loan from a credible lending institution. A pre-qualified buyer has an idea how much house he/she can afford.

Negotiating Your Sale

• Have the buyer read and sign the Property Disclosure Form. DO NOT, under any circumstances, hide defects in your property.
• Whether or not to accept an offer is your decision to make. Consider all offers, including those below your asking price. There's a chance the buyer may change his/her mind. You can always make a counter offer. All offers will be in writing. You can consider other offers at this point. However, once you accept an offer and enter into a written sales contract, you are bound by the terms of that contract. Those terms could limit your ability to continue to market your house after you have signed a contract.

Closing the Sale

With the final walk through completed, the seller you will meet to finalize the sale. You may be asked to provide proof that repairs and termite inspections, for example, have been taken care of.  We answer any questions you may have about the paperwork or to clarify information you do not fully understand.  Once all of the paperwork is signed and the transfer of real property takes place, you will receive a check for your equity.
