The Experience and Resources to Sell Your Home at the Best Price
Perhaps you're about to relocate to a new job or thinking of retiring. Maybe the kids have moved out and now you need less space - or you just had a baby and you need more. Whatever your circumstances, you want the sale of your home to go as smoothly possible - and within your ideal time frame and of course, getting the best price possible.
Here's a quick look at the steps you'll take when selling a home with NP Dodge:
- Contact me to list your home. I will be able to expertly assess its current value so your return will be optimized. Start now by filling out our short form online!
- Fix and clean up those items or areas that need improvement to maximize your home's exterior curb appeal and interior charm.
- Get your home warranty and inspection done up front. When your home sells, it's likely that the sale will be subject to an inspection. By providing an initial inspection and warranty the buyer can feel confident and worry-free about buying your home-and you selling it.
- You and I will work together to consider - and then negotiate with potential buyers - purchase offers on your home. Once an offer is accepted, you will both work with the buyer's agent to schedule a closing date and time.
- Notify your phone company, utilities (don't forget water and sewer), moving company, post office, newspaper and magazines, friends and family.
- Pack and move!
Curb Appeal Is Essential
A mowed, trimmed lawn and weeded garden create a good first impression. Inspect the exterior of your property: Shutters, windows, front door and steps. If the house needs painting, buyers will notice and may consider it a major objection to purchase.
Neatness Counts
Scrub each room thoroughly. Give special attention to the entryway, kitchen and bathrooms. Shampoo the carpet if necessary. If carpet is worn or old, consider replacing or removing it if hardwood floors are underneath. And don't forget cobwebs in corners, basements and attics!
Eliminate Clutter
Buyers will open closets and cupboards, so make sure they're as tidy as possible. Get rid of items you don't use. Remove unnecessary furniture to help make each room appear more spacious.
If It's Broken, Fix It
Easily fixable items such as loose doorknobs, a broken dishwasher, a dripping faucet, and squeaky doors all detract from your property's value. An afternoon spent making needed repairs now can eliminate a buyer's objections later.
Small Changes Can Make A Big Impression
New towels can freshen a tired kitchen or bath. Fresh flowers add warmth to any room. And even a fresh coat of paint doesn't cost much.
Don't Forget About Aromatherapy
Make sure your home passes the scent test. Right before an open house, bake some cookies or bread, simmer a pot of apple cider & cinnamon on the stove, or light a few scented candles. Strong odors could send potential lookers running out the front door.
