Tip #19

3 Reasons why having a Pre-Home Inspection is a good idea. ..

Having a pre-home inspection is something that I advise to all my sellers,
There are 3 reasons why I do this . .
My advice is for you to incorporate this strategy and follow this advice:

Reason #1 Be Prepare NOT Surprised, Advance Knowledge of Defects puts you in control of your sale.

A simple home inspection will reveal about significant defects that might need your attention You take control from the beginning and gives you opportunity to make repairs prior to listing and marketing the property at your own time and conditions.

Reason #2 Disclosing Defects . What Defects??

By having a detailed inspection report in hand it allows you to simply provide full disclosure to the new buyer, and potentially reduces the likelihood of possible legal problems after the sale of your home.
When undiscovered defects are discovered during a pre home inspection. .they must be disclosed!

Reason #3 Are you selling it AS IS? A pre-Home Inspection should help you make this decision

Yes, you know that there may be many things against you. ..just making a decision to sell it "as is" could cost you several thousands of dollars
Outlining all defects prior to selling your home allows you with important information to the economics in doing these repairs yourself that could "NET" you more money when you sell.

Tips Selling Your House: How To Deal With Contractors

26 Tips You Should Know To Get Your Home Sold Fast For The Highest Amount and Less Hassle!

Original Article

Because your home is more likely your largest asset, deciding to sell your home is not a decision that you should take lightly.

Everyone wants to sell their home for top dollar, fast and for the least amount of money.

26 Tips you should know to get your home SOLD for TOP DOLLAR @ the fastest time!

Tip #18 Dealing with Contractors to Prepare your house to sale

A power tip that I would like to pass along now is:

Dealing with contractors to help you prepare your house to sell. .

Brace yourself. .

You are in for a ride

Contractors are just like any industry .they have good ones. and real bad ones. .

The bad ones are like pit bulls and you may end up being a succulent steak!

Having listed hundreds of properties and owned over 50 rental units the last 20 years, I learned how to negotiate with repairman and assure myself that they are NOT over-charging me.

This is my tip for you today. .

HOW TO AVOID BEING RIPPED OFF!

This works in all cases. .

Is only a phrase I advice you to say. .

But you must say it at the right time, and it could save you hundreds, or thousands of dollars!

Your timing has to be perfect and delivered just like a punch line from a professional comedian. . .to early on and you will get gouged. .too late in delivering it and you already got gouged!

Is simple and to the point:

"Is that your final and best price?"

You must say this at the instant you receive their estimate

And don't say another word. .count to five slowly or

Let them speak once. .and then say.

Thank you for your time and I promise to let you know of my decision after I receive the 'OTHER" bids. .please let me know if you want to make some adjustments to your estimate. .

Don't ever make it appear, that you are only calling one repairman.

Get multiple bids whenever it's practical. . .Make sure they know they are competing with someone else.

Don't act like a friend or a distant relative. .be polite and leave it at that.

Check them out. .

Don't just hire them by appearances or price

Check them out or risk consequences beyond a shoddy job!

Technology has made this process easier for all of us. Check business licences and insurance so you know who is reliable and trustworthy by their high standards. . . and see their Internet presence . .in some cases you may be able to see testimonials

Ask for their references and call all of them!

Together with my tip. .it will give you the confidence to hire someone that does what they say and does it well!

Watch this video where I discuss what items you should repair and what items you should ignore before preparing to sell your house

Tips on Selling Your House: What to FIX before selling your house?

26 Tips You Should Know To Get Your Home Sold Fast For The Highest Amount and Less Hassle!

26 Tips you should know to get your home SOLD for TOP DOLLAR @ the fastest time!

Tip #16 Home improvements projects to help you sell. . what to fix and what NOT TO FIX?

Fix It First No Doubt!

If you feel that you need to make improvements to your home before selling it. . you must do the work before it goes on the market. .

not during!

Don't stage your house with paint buckets. .

Potential buyers are not interested in hearing about the repairs you will do if they buy your house. .

Your good intentions to look after defects you have ignored while you were the house owner reveals a lot about you as as seller

You've waited until the last moment and expect the best results?

When in reality, you have started the sale of your house in a negative way.

What other things have you ignored?

A buyer maybe asking. .

A perfect house for sale . .

is a freshly painted home. .

updated

balanced throughout

with no evidence of quick fixes.

and you out of the way!

Consider a pre-home inspection

Depending on the price bracket of your house. .
most likely the buyer will ask for a home inspection

Do you want to be surprised?
or
Do you want to be prepared?

Could you afford to pay for a $300 home inspection that will give you the path to a successful sale .
or
ignore it
take a chance
save yourself $300
and possible losing to sell your house quicker and for more money?

Like I said. .if I have a $30,000 condo. .I may take a chance
If I have a $500,000 home to sale. ..
I would not. .

Just remember, today’s home buyers lead busy lives and are very well informed. . they may not be interested in taking on major repairs or improvements upon moving in a new purchase. . society have shape all of us to the "set it and forget it"mantra. .

They are buying a home. .not a project

Watch this video where I discuss how many fixes you should do and what fixes to avoid. .

Tips and Trick Selling Your Own Home Should I Put a Lock box in my House when Selling By Owner?

26 Tips You Should Know To Get Your Home Sold Fast For The Highest Amount and Less Hassle!

http://www.reallynicehomes.com/blog/tips-selling-your-house-make-buyers-bite-trick/

Because your home is more likely your largest asset, deciding to sell your home is not a decision that you should take lightly.

Everyone wants to sell their home for top dollar, fast and for the least amount of money.

26 Tips you should know to get your home SOLD for TOP DOLLAR @ the fastest time!

Tip #8 Should I Put a Lock box in my House when Selling my house FSBO?

Would you leave your front door open all night?
and
all day for that matter. .

Of course not!

There is a reason why Realtors use electronic lockboxes
Where only Realtors with current licenses and updated memberships accounts have the key card to open them.

You don't want a combination number from Home Depot for this. .you are courting with a possible bad situation.

You should not have a lockbox on your FSBO property just for security reasons alone. .

But the caveat to this is that:
You have to present when your property is being showed.

Most buyers 99.07895% of them. .
are turned off by the fact that there is someone "trying" to sell them the house and instead of allowing them to make up their own mind

Its almost like going to the voting booth and someone is looking over your shoulder trying to sell you their candidate and vote for him/her

You would not like that. .
neither does a buyer for your house followed room by room with an avalanche of reasons of why this house is the perfect house for them..

Buyers have to be able to imagine the house as their own, you may want to ask for them to give you feedback later and offer to answer any questions they had while viewing your house.. .

Is all about connecting with them once again. .
even if it is days later. .
You want them to be the house on top of their mind. .
even if your house is not their preferred house

Who knows, their attempts to buy that house may be quickly extinguished by a delusional seller. . and this is when they may be calling you next!

I believe that my team of Real Estate Professionals are uniquely qualified to give you the results you are looking for as a seller.No matter if you are selling today or maybe years down the road, please contact me for all your real estate needs.
