When you have a home to sell in Langley, a condo or even a luxury penthouse in White Rock or anywhere else, you can hire a realtor to ensure you get the best price for your asset, and even deal with all the pesky little details to ensure a headache-free sale.
The Guy Biggar Team has been doing this a while, so we’ve prepared a list to help you get your home in order before putting it on the market. We have a seller’s guide prepared, but we’ll talk in step-by-step terms that you need to tackle and make a sale.
- Your home should give an impressive first appearance
- Clean up everything inside your home – no stains, dust, or cobwebs
- If needed, upgrade appliances, cabinet hardware, and light fixtures – minor upgrades can mean a lot
- Remove your personal stamp and allow buyers to see the potential – the buyer will put their stamp
- Declutter and clean everything until it sparkles – clean out closets, garage, basement, and attic
- Create curb appeal – trim bushes, plant flowers, repair outside areas
- Don’t forget the backyard/garden – trim, weed, plant, beautify
- Put a competitive price on your home (we’ll help with this part, but here’s a few ways we come up with a price)
- Compare prices on comparable homes nearby
- Get a professional appraisal of your home – you get a professional, objective opinion
- Create a price band – put a between range price
- Place your home on the market in spring – this is the prime buying time; fall is the other
- Decide on your lowest acceptable price (possible discount) and set a timetable for the sale considering other factors (when do you move into your new home etc.)
- Make an irresistible offer!
- Get a home inspection and include the report in the open house
- Throw in something extra with the home – maybe it’s an extra appliance like a built in bbq or pizza oven
- Hire a professional photographer to take photos and create an online portfolio for your home
- Hire a professional real estate agent and follow their advice
