Getting the Best Price for Your Home

The goal of any real estate agent is to get you the highest price for your home. This means not just getting you as many offers as possible, but choosing the most qualified among them. The key to doing so is effective marketing. In fact, aggressively marketing my clients’ homes using every resource at hand is what made me a top agent in Kissimmee. Following are some things you can do to get the most out of your sale.

1. Set a good price

The first step in effective marketing is to set a good price—that’s the first thing buyers look at. Set a high price and it’ll take forever to get a response; set it lower and you’re basically cheating yourself. That’s where a Kissimmee real estate agent can help you. We closely follow real estate trends and set prices on a day-to-day basis, so you can be sure your price is up to date. Just give me a time frame and I’ll give you the best possible price for your home.

2. Make home improvements

Buyers are willing to pay more for homes that are in good condition. You don’t have to refurbish your entire home; rather, your agent should tell you which areas matter the most to buyers and thus need improvement. As your agent, I’ll do a walk-through of your home and suggest easy, low-cost improvements that can pull up your home’s sale value.

3. Negotiate

A good agent should understand sale contracts and negotiations, especially when dealing with first-time sellers. I can negotiate aggressively with prospective buyers to protect my clients’ best interests. As one of the top real estate professionals in Kissimmee, I can ensure not only the best price for your home, but also expert advice and guidance every step of the way.

4. Inspections

Whenever possible, have a professional inspect your home before you list it for sale. Serious buyers will often bring in their own inspector, who may find surprise defects that may allow the buyer to push your price downward – sometimes by far more than what the actual repairs cost. That is why it is a good idea to have your home inspected first.  Professional inspection goes for only around $200 to $300 – a small price to pay to certify the asking price for your home. 

It’s also a good idea to have a pest and termite control inspection report to show the buyer, so that hey don’t have to call in their own inspectors. Doing this gives the buyer the impression that your home has been well-taken cared of.
