The Lowry Team Offers Tips For Selling Your House Fast

November 13, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team Offers Tips For Selling Your House Fast

Tips For Selling Your Home FastSelling 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.”

The Lowry Team Keller Williams Realty :: Selling Your Home

September 22, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team Keller Williams Realty :: Selling Your Home

The Lowry TeamThe Lowry Team knows that selling your home is a big decision.  There are a few things to take into consideration once you have decided that you are ready to sell. This includes determining what to list your house for, getting it ready for the market and finding a real estate agent to sell your home.

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.”

It is important to find out what the market value of your home is.  Many sellers look at what other similar homes are on the market for and base their price on that.  However, what a buyer will actually pay for a home is the true market value.  It is important to look at what similar homes nearby yours have sold for.

Keller Williams research shows that a house priced at market value sold in just half the time. In addition, those homes usually sold for more money, the average house selling for almost $4,000.00 more.

Next, 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.  

Not only can staging your home properly bring more money to the closing table, generally it will sell faster too. Some rooms in your home are more important than others in the preparation process and some home improvements are a much better investment as you prepare to sell your home.  Don’t spend money unnecessarily, contact Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team today to arrange a free consultation.

Lastly, when you decide to sell, use a real estate agent.  The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that only 9% of homeowners try to sell their home without an agent and about half of those were selling to someone they knew.  

Some homeowners try to sell a home themselves to save money by not having to pay commission to a Realtor. However, buyers expect to get a better deal from a home for sale by owner because they know the homeowner is saving money. According to the NAR houses sold by a realtor sold for 16% more than those that are for sale by owner.

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. Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team Keller Williams Realty has over 16 years of full time real estate experience.  He has extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage.

In addition, when you hire Eric Lowry you are hiring a team of specialists.  The Lowry Team is “Different By Design“… taking a team approach to home buying and selling. The Lowry Team consists of members that are focused on areas of specialization including Listing Specialists, Buyer Specialists, Transaction/Listing Coordinator and a Marketing Director.

Selling your home is a major financial and emotional decision.  If you are considering selling your home, Contact Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team and set up a free consultation. We’re here to represent you throughout the entire selling process, from listing to closing.  The Lowry Team want to make sure that your real estate transaction is a positive and profitable experience.

Selling Your Cincinnati Home Series – Part Five

Negotiating An OfferNegotiating An Offer.

It is extremely important to have an experienced, professional real estate agent do the negotiating for you.  Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team will have already communicated with you regarding what your estimated net proceeds might be.  The house will be priced right for the  market (Click Here for Pricing  Your Home, Part 3 of the Series) and be show ready (Click Here for Staging Your Home, Part 4 of the Home Seller Series).

There are going to be times when you will receive a completely low ball offer.  Do not take it personally, it is just business.  Your real estate agent will make sure that the buyer is pre-approved for a loan and keep negotiating the offer for you.

It important to try to keep negotiations going.  The more time and  money spent, the more the buyers will feel invested in reaching an agreement with you and buying your house.

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.

The Lowry Team Keller Williams – How Buyers Search For Homes

June 12, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team Keller Williams – How Buyers Search For Homes

When buyers search for homes on line, they usually type in a few criteria such as how many bedrooms and bathrooms they would like to have.  The search results then group homes in price brackets.  The price brackets are usually in $10,000 or $25,0000 increments.  These price brackets drive what buyers see when doing an online search.  If you price your home out of the optimal price bracket, buyers could find your home among hundreds of other homes.  However, the other  homes that the buyers see may be larger, newer, and have more amenities and features.  If you price your home out of the optimal price bracket, your home could be eliminated by not being seen by the right buyer.

If you want to know the best price to sell your home for the most amount of money in the least amount of time, Call Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team.

One of the most important steps in selling your home is determining what price to list it for. Eric 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.

The Lowry Team Keller Williams West Chester – Tips To Make Your Porch Pop

Tips To Make Your Porch Pop

Front PorchIf you are preparing to sell your home, a great place to start is with your home’s curb appeal. This is the potential home buyer’s first impression of your home. Increase your home’s curb appeal by creating a front porch that is warm and inviting.  However large or small your front porch, there are plenty of simple ways to make the porch pop.

Begin with the walkway leading up to the front porch.  The walkway should be well lit and nicely landscaped.  Use plants and bushes to make a subtle transition from the walkway to the porch.

A fresh coat of bright colored paint on the front door can really make your porch stand out.  Cluster a number of flower pots by the front door in the same bright color as the door.  Hanging baskets overflowing with ferns can draw your eyes upward, making it appear that the front porch is larger than it really is.  Window boxes full of colorful flowers brighten up the front of the house as well.

The front porch can be a nice gathering place.  Instead of a welcome mat consider putting a large indoor/outdoor rug down.  This makes the porch seem like more of a room than an entrance way.  Add weatherproof seating and tables.  Chairs should face each other to make a nice conversation area.  A small table to lay a book or drink on looks nice and is functional.  Add colorful throw pillows and blankets to the seating area to make guests feel comfortable.

If the front porch is large enough and protected from the elements, add pieces of furniture, lamps and pictures.  Decorate the front porch as you would another room in your house.  Place a dresser with drawers on the porch to hold candles, blankets and more.

Having trouble coming up with ideas or perhaps you can’t picture the final product?  Take a walk or drive around the neighborhood to see what front porches look appealing to you.  Take pictures or notes that you can refer to later when you are planning out your front porch design.

If you are interested in adding to your home’s curb appeal because you are planning to sell, call The Lowry Team.
