There are a lot of elements to concentrate on when selling a home, working with a qualified real estate agent will ease you of stress and confusion. Before you start searching for realtors, make a list of your expectations and questions. It will narrow your search and keep you on track when you start meeting/talking with potential agents. 

After you pick a realtor, work with them to price your home. A home evaluation is recommended so you can gauge a price range. The Ed Dale Team will offer market insight and be transparent about the worth of your home. Pricing is one of the most important steps for sales and it changes whether there is a seller’s or buyer’s market.

Homebuyers always request a house inspection: your roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc., will be looked at closely. That means you should inspect your property thoroughly beforehand. You nor the potential buyers want any surprises. Once everything is properly functioning, it’s time to consider small upgrades that can increase the value of your home or its appearance for showings. 

After your condo/house is listed, an open house will be planned or bookings for viewings will be accepted. When your house or condo is being shown, keep two things in mind: trust your agent and present your home immaculately every single time. Make arrangements for your pets, young children or even yourself. The fewer distractions, the better. 

This can’t be stressed enough, trust your agent. Realtors are experts at reviewing offers and negotiating terms. The process can be time-consuming and emotionally draining if you don’t receive offers you’re thrilled about or it’s time-sensitive. This is why it’s important to pick a realtor you trust and are comfortable with.

You’re almost done! The house or condo will be inspected and depending on how this goes, one of two things will happen. The inspector will find areas of improvement meaning repairs or a price adjustment will be negotiated. Flexibility and compromise are needed so the deal doesn’t fall through. Collect and pay all fees, sign on the dotted line and your property will be sold.
