Selling Your Home By Yourself – For Sale By Owner?
Are you thinking of selling your home by yourself, what is commonly called selling for sale by owner? You are sure you can do it and you just need a few tips to get started. Well here you go!
Here are 10 Steps To Success You Must Follow To Sell Your Home For Sale By Owner:
1.) Create a strong first impression. Take a look at your home from across the street. Is it appealing? Is the lawn well cared for, edged and mulched. Is the front door freshly painted and is the door’s hardware clean and new looking?
2.) Properly stage your home. Remove all items of personal decor, declutter your home, remove excess furniture and have your home professionally cleaned including the carpets.
3.) Create a marketing plan. Some advertising options for you to consider are Google Adwords campaigns, social media (Facebook) ads, post a link to your home on your Facebook profile and on your twitter account. Buy a number of directional signs to point buyers to your home. Don’t forget to get some that say Open House on them for your Sunday Open Houses. Also be sure to create a nice full color brochure of your home to give to prospective homebuyers.
4.) Have your home professionally photographed. Not much more to say here. You should not do this yourself and you certainly should not use the camera on your phone.
5.) Get an appraisal. Don’t pick the list price of your home based on what you hope to get for it. Hire a licensed appraiser to help you determine the correct price. Be sure to tell the appraiser you want this appraisal done to determine the market value for a sale.
