DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SELL YOUR HOME???

The first thing you must decide before putting your hone up for sale is whether you need to sell or whether you’re merely thinking of selling. If you’re just curious as to how much you can get for your house or if  you’re trying to make a “killing” by selling high, you should probably forget it! The fact is that competition is too tough from other  homeowners who need to sell their home and are ready to accept  FAIR MARKET VALUE.

If you persist in selling your home for more than the market will bear, you’re running the risk of “over exposure-” . That happens when a house is on the market too long and prospective buyers begin to think there is something wrong with that house if it hasn’t sold by now.

So, if you can answer “yes” to the question of “Do you really want to sell your hone,” then listen to these suggestions from experienced and successful realtors across the nation.

The three most important factors that influence the, sale of a hole are. . LOCATION, PRICE AND ATMOSPHERE.

Buyers are influenced by location as much as any other factor. That’s why over 30% of house sales come from a sign post on the property. Most buyers drive through the area they want to live in.

In establishing the right price, remember these proven figures:

• If you price at 10% below FAIR MARKET VALUE, you have a 100% chance of selling.
•  If you price FAIR MARKET VALUE, you have a 90% chance of selling.
• If you price at 50% above FAIR MARKET VALUE, you have a. 10% chance of selling.
• If you price at 10% above FAIR MARKET VALUE, you only have a 50%chance of selling.

And remember that a lot of people buy on emotion and  atmosphere is what  sells Clean, attractive merchandise is what the public is looking for.

Finally, if you really want to know what sells a home, lust put yourself in the role of buyer… Why did you buy your home?
