Cedar Rapids For Sale By Owners Must Read!
Commission is the reason that For Sale By Owners don't hire Realtors. Here is a great example of what can happen when you take your focus off the commission and on your net profit.
This house shown was listed on IAHomesforsale.com for $89,000 for several weeks. We listed the home at $96,500 and got a FULL PRICED OFFER IN ONE DAY!!!
Our sellers in turn bought a home with an interest rate of 4.6%. They didn't want to risk losing that rate waiting for their house to sell. Are you losing money waiting for your house to sell, trying to "save the commission.?" If the rates go up on a $150,000 house just one percent that equates to $1500 a year lost for every year you stay in the house. Stay there 5 years that's $7500 lost!

Overall, buyers are looking for a home that looks clean, neat and well maintained. By taking care of issues on the exterior, you will be giving your buyers a positive first impression.
Let's take a look first impression items:
1. Next time you drive up to your house look at it like a buyer. Notice what your first impression is? Is the landscaping look good? How does the garage door, driveway and curbs look? Do the bushes and trees block the view of the home? Is the roof in good condition?
2. Paint your front door and mailbox.
3. Wash the exterior of your house. You can get a pressure washer or hire it done. Pressure washing can remove dirt, grime, peeling paint and mildew.
4. Mow your lawn and plant some new fresh flowers.
5. Clean the gutters.
6. Clean oil stains from your garage floor and driveway.
7. Read our blog about home odors at www.GaryWolter.com (push "my blog)
