Real Estate Selling - The Trials And Tribulations Of Selling A Home
If the thought of selling your own house has been on your mind lately
, you have to know that you are looking forward to a period of constant work to be done and endless decision-making. A real estate sale requires not only a meticulous frame of mind, but also a slow decisive process.
The 'why' of your home sale
Analyze your reasons for selling. The reason behind this is to help you detach yourself from your home. It is not rarely that property owners change their mind about selling after going through all the trouble that a real estate sale involves.
There are countless reasons behind the decision to sell your own house, many of them caused by life-altering events such as marriage or divorce, new additions to the family or the death of one's life partner, or a change affecting work.
The 'when' of your home sale
In case you are faced with an urgent work change that involves your moving out as soon as possible, you have little to no choice about the sale timing. A 'Seller's market', where there are more buyers than properties for sale, is ideal as you can be sure of getting at least market value if not more for your home. Then again you may have to buy a house during a 'seller's market' period, in which case you are more likely to pay far above the property's worth.
Hiring a real estate agent or going with the old 'For Sale by Owner'
The skills and expertise of a real estate agent are much more preferable than going on your own when you are trying to sell your home. They do a lot of the tedious behind-the-scenes paper work, they know the ins and outs of the legal requirements, and they have an extensive network of prospective buyers and other agents that they have built up over the years.
Is your home ready to be sold?
Keep in mind that ruins don't sell well, or at all, so start assessing the state of your home and get to making the necessary repairs whether big or small. Furthermore, no buyer will be tempted to enter a house that is in utter disarray and messy, so a thorough cleaning is in order. Use your painting skills on the house and your gardening talents on your garden and your home will look as good as new. If you think your home would do better under the keen eye of a home staging expert, do not hesitate and hire one to ensure your house is presented in its best potential.
Just let it all go and relax
A certain sense that you are living someone else's life or in someone else's home is likely to plague you for the period your house is for sale. What with agents for ever present in your home or on the phone, and preparing for eleventh-hour viewings, you will start to feel a little bit dizzy. Take a deep breath, and relax.
Pack your bags!
While selling your home may be stressing you out, you will hopefully have the excitement of a new home to look forward to. You can get on with the preparations for your move and start the packing while doing the cleaning of the house. You might want to prepare yourself for a flood of fond memories followed by regrets about moving out of your home, and the easiest way to overcome this is to remember the excitement you will feel in a new home and the memories you are sure to create there.
Real estate selling can be a minefield of paperwork, listings, legal matters and marketing deadlines, and that is why so many sellers enlist a Realtor to help them sell their house. Homeowners who have tried to sell their properties without the help of an agent can testify to the value of having one to help you. No matter what you decide, the best of luck to you!
