November 14, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

Hire A Real Estate Agent To Sell Your House.

Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There’s advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of seasoned professionals. Here are a few of the reasons why you should hire a real estate agent:

Pricing it Right – When selling a house, it is important to price it right. Eric Lowry, Listing Specialist and CEO of The Lowry Team, will share your home’s current market value with you. Comps will be run on other similar homes in the same market area. These items, together with the trends in the real estate market, will help Eric determine the right listing price for your home.

Negotiations: There is more to the negotiation process then agreeing upon a price. You may negotiate the type of financing and the closing date. Also, closing costs, repairs made to the home and personal property are items that can make or break a deal. In the end, sometimes a small concession is all that is needed to agree upon a final purchase contract. However, emotions can get in the way. A third party professional with experience in negotiations will look out for your best interests.

Paperwork – From the listing to the closing table, a real estate professional will handle all of the complicated paperwork. We’ll help you understand everything from the contract contingencies to the details of the closing process, all while taking care of all the paperwork for you.

The Lowry Team Offers Tips For Selling Your House Fast

Selling your home? Here are a few tips to assist you in selling your house fast!

Tip #1 –

You need to get your house ready for market both inside and out. The first step in staging your home is to trim the bushes around your property. It is important to keep the lawn neatly mowed. The curb appeal of your home will be the potential home buyer’s first impression of your home. Make it a good one! First impressions matter! Spruce up the yard and flower beds.

Tip #2 –

De-clutter and de-personalize your home. Clean off the bookshelves and clean out the closets. Remove extra items from counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms. It may even be beneficial to store some of your furniture to make rooms seem larger. By doing this, it will appear as if there is a lot more room and storage in the home.

Personal items such as family photos should also be tucked safely away. The potential home buyer should be able to envision themselves living in your home.

Tip #3 –

A buyer would love to buy a home that is in move-in condition. A house that needs updating or work means time and money for the home buyer. The house and all of its mechanics should be in good working condition. If a house is on the market, it should sparkle! Home owners need to give the house a once over. Pay especially close attention to cleaning the kitchens and bathrooms.

A potential home buyer does not want to add the expense of having to purchase new ceiling fans, light fixtures or kitchen appliances. Old furnaces and air conditioners are also a turn off.

Tip #4 –

Many sellers offer something of value to the potential home buyer. There is more to the negotiation process then agreeing upon a price. You may negotiate the type of financing and the closing date.

Also, a home warranty, closing costs, repairs made to the home and personal property are items that can make or break a deal. In the end, sometimes a small concession is all that is needed to agree upon a final purchase contract.

Tip #5 –

One of the most important steps in selling your home is determining what price to list it for. Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team, will perform a comparable market analysis for you. This will educate and assist you as you decide what price you will put your house on the market for. Eric Lowry says, “Houses that are priced accurately and in good condition are not lasting long on the market.”

Tip #6 –
