TIPS TO SELLERS

10-07-09
ANH MIDDLEMAN
Selling a home isn't easy in most markets today. To get a typical buyer to bite and submit an offer, a house has to stand apart from the competition. Most buyers are skeptical of buying homes that need improvements. Sellers don't need to remodel the kitchen or spend a lot of money for renovation, but they want to make sure that their home showcases very well. Ready move in condition is very important to first time home buyers. Down payment would deplete some of the funds a home buyer would have for repairs. They are concerned about out of pocket expenses upon taking ownership. Curb appeal is very important, it invites buyers to go inside your home. A fresh coat of paint, decluttering and removal of unpleasant odors can go a long way to making a good impression. Offer to help pay for closing costs. Offer a home warranty that covers major systems when problems arise. Don't snub low offers, it always good to negotiate a counteroffer. You never know, you may end up with a very close agreement from your original selling price.
