Top 7 Selling Secrets

1.  Price it right.                                                        

Find out what your home is worth, then shave 15-20 percent off the price. You’ll be stampeded by buyers with multiple bids and they’ll bid up the price over what it’s worth. It takes real courage and most sellers just don’t want to risk it, but it’s the single best strategy to sell a home.

2.  Light it up.

Maximize the light in your home. After location, LIGHT is the one thing that every buyer cites that they want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let more sunshine in.

3.  Choose a local broker.

A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong broker. Make sure you have a broker who is totally informed. They must constantly monitor the multiple listing service (MLS), know what properties are going on the market and know the comps in your neighborhood. We are a local broker who embraces technology – and have many tools to get your house sold.

4. Don't over-upgrade.

Quick fixes before selling always pay off.   Mammoth make overs, not so much. You probably won’t get your money back if you do a huge improvement project before you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh coat of paint on the walls, clean the curtains, replace door handles, cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track, fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.

5. Take the home out of your house.

One of the most important things to do when selling your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can imagine themselves living there. Consider hiring a home stager to maximize the full potential of your home. Staging simply means arranging your furniture to best showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of each space, we work with one of the best staging companies in OC.

6. The kitchen comes first.

You are not actually selling your house, you’re selling your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back.

7. The first impression is the only impression.

No matter how good the interior of your home looks, buyers have already judged your home before they walk through the door. It’s important to make people feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive shrubs and brightly colored flowers. You can typically get a 100-percent return on the money you put into your home’s curb appeal.
