Master the Home Selling Journey

by Carolyn Kay 02/24/2019

A home seller may encounter many challenges after he or she decides to list a residence. Fortunately, there are lots of things you can do to increase the likelihood of enjoying a seamless house selling experience.

Now, let's take a look at three tips to help you master the home selling journey.

1. Conduct an In-Depth Home Evaluation

Your home has served you well for an extended period of time. However, your residence may be in dire need of upgrades. And if you fail to identify problem areas before you list your residence, you may struggle to stir up interest in your house.

Oftentimes, it helps to conduct a home inspection before you list your residence. Although a house inspection generally is requested by a buyer after a seller accepts his or her offer to purchase a home, an inspection can help you understand your residence's strengths and weaknesses. Then, you can take the necessary steps to transform myriad home weaknesses into strengths – something that could help you reap the benefits of a successful home selling experience.

2. Upgrade Your Home's Interior and Exterior

If your house is full of clutter and in need of a deep cleaning, there may be no time like the present for a home interior makeover. You can allocate time and resources to enhance your home's interior on your own. Or, you can always hire an interior decorator, home cleaners or other home improvement professionals to upgrade your house's interior.

Don't forget to bolster your residence's curb appeal too. By mowing the lawn, trimming the hedges and performing other home exterior upgrades, you can make it simple for buyers to fall in love with your residence as soon as they see it.

3. Hire a Real Estate Agent

A real estate agent is a must-have for those who want to streamline the home selling journey. He or she will help you identify and overcome any potential property selling roadblocks. Plus, a real estate agent can help you plan ahead for the home selling journey so you can achieve your desired results as quickly as possible.

For example, if you want to maximize your earnings from the sale of your city home, a real estate agent will offer recommendations and suggestions to help you do just that. On the other hand, if your goal is to sell your current residence as soon as you can, a real estate agent will do whatever it takes to ensure you can sell your house without delay.

Let's not forget about the comprehensive guidance that a real estate agent can provide, either. If you ever have concerns or questions about pricing your home, how to promote your residence to potential buyers or other home selling topics, a real estate agent will respond to them right away.

As a Real Estate professional, I specialize in helping my clients buy, rent or sell properties in Westchester County. I am passionate, dedicated and committed to my clients and my first priority is to provide them with first class service and guidance throughout the entire process. It has been said that I go above and beyond for my clients to get the deal closed! I have experience working with clients who have financed their purchases with either a conventional, VA or FHA loan and have a good understanding of how they work; no sale is too big or too small for me to take on. My family and I relocated to England for 2 ½ years, this was a wonderful experience but at the same time, it was overwhelming. I have first hand knowledge of the challenges as well as the positives in discovering a new community. I was born and raised in Scarsdale and once married, my husband and I decided to raise our two daughters here. Both of our daughters successfully graduated from the Scarsdale schools and are both married, living and working in Manhattan. After living in the same house for 30 years my husband and I took the leap, sold our home and bought and renovated a condo townhouse in another town. Once again we are discovering a new community and fully understand the highs and lows of selling a home we loved and buying and making a new home. I feel that my personal real estate experiences have made me more in tune with my client’s needs and therefore better able to help them navigate through the complex process. Please call me so that I can put my knowledge and experience to work for you.
