DECIDING TO SELL
So you've made the decision to sell your home. Before taking any other steps, it would be a good idea to sit down and draw up a game plan to include a basic time frame.
Why do you want to sell your house? Do you intend to upgrade to a larger home, or are you may be moving to another school district, or maybe the neighborhood you’ve always wanted, or maybe you’re relocating because of your career. You might think your reasons are clear, but it would be wise to consider all the implications of each option for your family's lifestyle, opportunities and finances. Being clear about your motivations for selling will make it easier for us to determine the most appropriate option for your specified financial, lifestyle and real estate goals.
What’s the right time of year to sell? You should immediately establish your time frame for selling. Traditionally, the ideal time to sell a home is in the Spring & Summer months. If you need to sell quickly, the best thing you can do is to hire an experienced agent and pricing your home in conjunction with comparable properties in the area. If you don’t need to sell immediately, we would suggest you take the time to sit down with an expert real estate team develop a game plan that addresses everything from when the right time to sell your homes is to how to properly stage your home.
Is it a buyer or seller’s market? Depending on the market conditions, you’ll certainly need the knowledge and expertise of a local agent to achieve the best market price and terms.
What about my finances? One of the most important factors in making a decision to sell is not only knowing what you can truly sell your home for but also what fees will be included with the sale. When deciding to sell, you want to get a true estimate of potential proceeds from the sale of your home. We will make sure you’re informed every step of the way and we also work with an excellent team of lenders who will ensure you maximize your full financial potential.
