Proven Tips for Selling Your Home
When you have reached the stage where it's time
to show your home, think from a buyer's perspective; your home seems
fine to you but potential buyers will examine every square inch
of your house before they begin to think about making a purchase.
Let your sales professional handle the Open House
arrangements, but do what you can to make sure the home looks its
best.
• Cleanliness, neutral decor, necessary repairs
and the first impressions of potential buyers are four main points
of concern when showing a home.
• Kitchens, baths and entries are among the
most important parts of the home to concentrate on. Prospective
buyers pay close attention to details in such areas.
• Plan to be gone during the Open House so
that prospective buyers will discuss your home openly with your
real estate sales professional. If you can't leave, let your sales
professional do the talking. He or she can discuss price, terms,
possession and other factors, as well as handle objections or questions.
Many sellers have beautiful homes -- and have
received favorable comments from guests, friends and real estate
professionals. But when its time to sell, what matters most is what
the buyer likes. We suggest that you take a "buyer's tour"
of your home before you ever put it on the market. Ask your GMAC
Real Estate Professional for more information.
