​People who are about to sell a home or property should know that there are quite a few steps involved in the selling process. Moreover, there are costs that you need to incur for renovating or repairing a property.
Here are a few important things to consider when you are selling your property.
Finding the Right Agent
Professional real estate companies and realtors possess a solid experience with an intimate knowledge of the markets in which they list their homes. Even a newly established real estate company has a couple of seasoned realtors who have a string of successful clients to prove their credentials.
It is important to get in touch with the best realtors since they can offer expert and valuable advice on what is trending in the real estate market.
Realtor’s commissions
In a typical sale, the seller has to pay the commission fees for the listing agent and the buyer’s agent. This fee is about 6% of the sale price, generally divided equally between the buyer’s agent and the listing agent. If you think you can save money by closing your selling deal without a realtor, you are still likely to pay the 3% commission charges of the buyer’s agent.
Home Preparation and Staging
Staging is one of the most important parts of preparing a property or home for sale. Not only, but it is also recommended; prepping your property dramatically improves your chances to get the most out of a deal. That's why 38% of seller’s agents recommend doing it, and more than 75% of buyer’s agents believe it makes it easier for the buyers to envision a house as their potential home.
Repair and Renovation
Once you have agreed to an offer, the buyer is likely to get your property checked for any damages. Most properties that have been lived in require minor fixes. The buyer either asks for an amount to compensate for the estimated cost or ask you to make the repairs yourself.
All repair jobs range from a few hundred dollars to over thousands of dollars for major repairs such as roof repairs or foundation cracks.
You may also want to add more to a property by adding a bathroom, bedroom or living room to a home. Research reveals that buyers can recover up to 80% of the money spent on home renovations. Adding a porch or swimming room also increases the net worth of a home.
Setting Realistic Goals
A few real estate companies promise overly optimistic outcomes. The best realtors paint a realistic picture of what a seller is likely to accomplish out of a selling deal. Never choose a real estate company that gives your false hopes and does not offer an accurate picture of the real estate market.
Final Thoughts
Qualified real estate professionals possess a deep understanding of how the rules and regulations work in your community. It is important that you hire the best real estate company to sell your property for making the most profits.
