Preparing to Sell Your Charlotte Home? Then, Think Like A Real Estate Agent!

Think Like a Charlotte Real Estate Agent

Before putting your Charlotte home on the market, you will want to make certain that your home is in tip-top condition to ensure a quick sale. The key to listing your home is a competitive price and ascertaining you have what buyers are looking for. The trick to that is to think like a Charlotte real estate agent.

To prepare your home to sell, here are five easy and inexpensive home improvements this Charlotte REALTOR® recommends:

Layout – Take an objective look at your home and stage your home accordingly. Remove clutter and rearrange furniture so that potential buyers can envision each room’s purpose. Also, store any large or obtrusive furniture that disrupts walking flow or makes rooms look smaller.
Charm – Play up the unique features of your home. Refinish hardwood floors if they’re scuffed, remove excess objects from built-in bookshelves and clean unique light fixtures. It’s these irreplaceable elements that make your home stand out from other homes and hook buyers.
Hardware – Update all of your hardware. Changing out door handles, drawer pulls and light fixtures is an easy way to modernize your home while spending very little money.
Scent – Eliminate all bad odors like pet smells, stale cooking odors and cigarette smoke. Just lighting candles or spraying air freshener won’t work. Clean, deodorize and get rid of rugs or other cloth objects that still smell bad.
Curb Appeal – Spend some time sprucing up the yard. Keep in mind that the exterior is the first impression buyers will have, and although the interior may be in mint condition, a lot-of-work lawn could instill a negative notion before your prospective buyers even step foot inside your home.

Buyers’ needs vary in every market. However, buyers will always consider these five features before they buy. So, stay one step ahead of the game and ensure your house is up to par with buyers’ expectations.

If you’re getting ready to sell your home and are looking for a Charlotte real estate agent who can help you sell your home fast and for top-dollar, I’d be honored to be interviewed for the job. Give me a call today or email me to schedule an appointment.

5 Great Reasons to List Your Charlotte Home During the Holidays

5 Great Reasons to List Your Charlotte Home During the Holidays

Every year, about this time, at least one of my sellers will ask, “Should we wait until after the holidays to list our home?” Some even ask, “Should we take our home off of the market for the holidays and put it back on the market on January 1?”

My answer is always – you can list now with less competition than in the spring and know that the buyers who come through your home during the month of December are SERIOUS buyers!

Here are five great reasons to list during the holidays:

Relocation buyers are out there shopping and they are very serious buyers. Many companies restructure during the month of November and insist that their new employees be in their destination cities/offices by the end of the year.
You can restrict the showings on your home to the times you want it shown. You remain in control of your showing times.
Homes actually show better when decorated for the holidays – just don’t over-do it!
As I mentioned above, there is minimal competition for you as a seller right now because all home sellers think exactly as you asked – “Perhaps we should wait.” Inventory of homes for sale traditionally slows during the late fall, early winter months.Let’s take a look at listing inventory as compared to the same time last year; as you can see those October, November, December & January months have the least amount of competition on the market.

5. The supply of listings increases substantially after the holidays. As well, new construction will continue to surge which can very well lessen the demand for your house in 2019.

Bottom Line

While waiting seems like a good thing to do, it really doesn’t make sense to do so.

Three Questions to Ask Before Selling Your Home By Owner

11/05/2018 by Debe Leave a Comment

Three Questions to Ask Before Selling Your Home By Owner

Real estate technology has made giant strides over the past few years, allowing home buyers to search for properties online. As well, this technology is giving home sellers the perception that they have the ability to research their home’s value and even accept offers to purchase their home conveniently online.

Are you a homeowner who is thinking about selling your home on your own? Ask yourself these three questions before you follow the inclination to go it alone.

What is my home worth?

Your home is an investment and you should protect it – just like in a traditional selling scenario, you could be leaving money on the table if you accept the first Offer. Consider an opinion from an experienced real estate agent who is familiar with your neighborhood and the local real estate market. Also take note of home improvements needed to be made as well as those that have been done. These projects are not considered in online evaluation tools – but, an experienced real estate agent will know what each improvement will bring as far as your return on investment (ROI).

Who will represent me and my interests?

When you choose to use an experienced, full-time agent, your interests and your investment, can be better protected. Real estate agents can offer guidance on more than just pricing but, on contracts, paperwork, negotiations and much more. When selling on your own, you are representing yourself and therefore taking on all the work AND the liability that goes with it.

How quickly will I sell my home?

Your home may very well take a few more days to hit the market, which can include additional days for staging, needed renovations and repairs. As a real estate professional, I’m here to guide you through the ‘preparation’ stage so that you will have a much more successful sale. Your speed of sale once listed, is based on a variety of factors including location, available buyers and how motivated you are. A seller’s agent can help you understand the process, point out unnoticed faults of the property before going on the market and negotiate fair contract terms, all while helping you accomplish your goal of selling your home quickly.

Thinking of selling your home on your own? Let’s talk first! Call or text me at (704) 491-3310 – or email me at DebeM@remax.net.
