Many sellers have a difficult time preparing their homes once they’ve decided to list them for sale. How will you know what to do to get it ready?
This is why it’s so important to hire the best Orlando Realtor from the beginning.
There are many factors to take into consideration before listing your home. Your Real Estate agent will be the one to guide you thru the pre-listing process and will advise you on how to maintain the home throughout the listing period.
The first step is, Hire a professional Real Estate Agent. Call your local Realtors office and meet with a few agents before you commit to a listing contract for a year to later found out this is not the right person for you.
When you are interviewing agents, ask about their background in the Real Estate business. How long have they been in business, and how long have they been listings homes? How many listings do they currently have? How many agents are in their Real Estate firm? How accessible is he/she? You want to make sure that if your Realtor is not available, someone else in the company will be.
After you’ve found the perfect Orlando Listing Agent, it’s now time to start looking at your home and set the listing price.
What is the condition of your home? When was the last time you had any maintenance done to the AC, heater, water pump, pool pump, septic tank, windows, doors, etc? You want to make sure there are no leaks in the sink, faucets, and or showerheads.
What upgrades does the home have, if any? Are there any repairs that can be easily done to help improve the overall condition of your home? Does it need interior or exterior paint, does it need flooring? What can you do the improve the curb appeal?
Remember, the better the home looks the faster it will sell!
