When it comes to selling your home successfully, there is more to it than simply listing your home for sale. Some sellers are hesitant to ask their real estate agent how they can help sell the home. Many of them believe that it is the agent?s job to sell the house, and why hire someone if you have to do the work yourself? If you want to remain hands-off, that is perfectly fine. However, remember that as the owner, you might be a wonderful asset when it comes to getting the best return.
Help with the marketing copy
Today it is definitely a buyer?s market. Customers have so many options available. Just a decade ago, merely listing your home for sale meant that you would receive phone calls non-stop, but times are different. Even though you might want the marketing copy for your home to be written by the experts, it can help when you tweak it a bit. Why did you end up buying your home? What sold you on the property you are selling?
Help with the pictures
When it comes to the photographs for the flyers and MLS, remember that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. If prospective buyers do not like the picture, they are not going to click on your listing. Help accentuate the positive points about your home. Remember, a good picture is not going to help you sell a bad home, but a bad picture can prevent you from selling a good home.
Help with the home staging
One more step where you can help your agent out. Let your agent know that you can remove any items that may make a room feel crowded or block passage. Try to remove private materials and personal photographs. Examine the room with a critical eye. Do not look at the house as the inhabitant, but as someone who is seeing the house for the first time.
Working together
Working together with your agent means that you combine the best of both worlds. It connects the intimate relationship you have with your home with the professional expertise that your agent possesses. Together you can convey to any prospective buyer that THIS is the home to get.
