Price your home to sell

 The benefit of using a pretty home realtor is that you will be able to get the perfect price range for homes in your area. Our agents will run an in-depth analysis of homes that have sold and how long it’s taken them to sell. Your pretty home realtor will then let you know at what price range your home will do best. Getting the highest value for your home is our priority and we want to quickly get that value into your pocket.

When we price a home we consider a few factors. For instance, if the home is priced too low, you will miss out on the value that you have worked hard to build in the home. If the home is overpriced it will run the risk of sitting on the market for a very long time. Pretty Home Realtors are experts at finding the perfect range so that your home will sell quickly for a great value.

Preparing the home to sell 

• If you know it’s broken repair it. Now is the time to fix the little things in the house like that leaky toilet or that light bulb that has been burned out. Homebuyers tend to notice a lot of things in a home and the best bet is to let them notice the beauty of the home by having it in pristine condition.
•  Keep the home neat and clean. Do a nice deep cleaning on your house, the kind where you scrub the baseboards and vacuum all around the house. Make sure the landscape is looking nice, bushes are trimmed, and the lawn is mowed and raked. Also, it helps to pull the weeds. Buyers love curb appeal. “If your home looks loved, buyers will love it too”.- Shawn Calhoun 
• Declutter your home. We want the home to look perfect, so take the clutter from around the house and store it, or donate it to charity. Now it’s also a great time to take care of some old clothes that you’ve been trying to donate also you can clean out the garage and tidy up the laundry room and basement 
• Let the buyer see themselves in the home. It’s time to box up the family photos and the toys. The buyers will want to see themselves in the home, and they can’t do that if it feels like it’s not theirs. having your home as an open slate allows them to see their family enjoying beautiful memories just like yours did.
•  Stage your home. so you’ve done all the other steps, and staging the home is very important. this allows the buyer to see the highlights of the home. At Pretty Home Realty, we have professional stagers ready when you are, or you can take a look at our staging guide. Staging is very important, especially in the pictures. 

Market the home

 Your Pretty Home Realtor will generate excitement about your house. Good thing you staged because we will be taking professional photos. Also, we may be able to create a video for buyers to look at as a virtual tour. We also will add in a for sale sign so that people who drive by can see that the home is for sale, and can view the home as prospective buyers. Pretty Home Realty has a multi-step program that allows for the marketing of your home to as many prospective buyers as possible. When combined with the accurate price this will ensure that your home is sold in very little time. 

Showcasing

Inviting people to come and see the house is a very effective way to generate Buzz about the property. Pretty Home realtors send out flyers, put up signs around the neighborhood, and prepare prospective buyers for an open house. This is a celebration of your home that can end with multiple interested buyers. Multiple buyers could me multiple offers. 

Also:Inspection time
