Are You Selling Your Home? Avoid Making These 4 Mistakes.
One of the most important transactions that we’ll make in our lifetime is purchasing and selling property. It’s not a common type of transaction, so most of us don’t have the experience or know of anyone who has this experience when it comes to making serious decisions that include large monetary transactions.
Mistakes that come with selling a home can get expensive, and they are bound to happen. Here are 4 common mistakes that people make when they sell their homes.
1. Inspecting Your Home
Most sellers believe that their home will easily pass an inspection from the buyer. Unless you have a new home to sell, it’s strongly recommended that you get a pre-inspection. This will rule out anything that may catch you off guard, like high levels of radon - a very common problem in Pennsylvania. A pre-inspection helps you keep the buyer interested. If they find out that there will be too many expensive repairs that can take a long time to fix, you might lose them. This will make you lose more time and money.
At MarKey Property LLC, no pre-inspection or final inspection is necessary. We will purchase your home as-is.
2. Selling at the Wrong Price
It can be a complex matter when selecting the appropriate price to list your home. Some challenging factors to consider are interest rates and the marketing climate in real estate. If you miscalculate and sell the house for too much money, it could overstay their time on the market. This can lead to extra bills and possible foreclosure. If the price is set too low, you won’t make as much as other homes that are similar to yours. It’s different for each homeowner and house, so to help you make an informed decision for your situation, work with a professional buyer at MarKey Property LLC. We will inform you on how much you will profit from by discussing your selling options.
3. Be Prepared
Inexperienced home sellers tend to make the mistake of being underprepared or over prepared in all the wrong places. You may try to save time and money by not making cosmetic changes like using a fresh coat of paint on the walls or putting new carpet in. These are details that help sell a house. Then there’s the other spectrum where sellers spend too much of their budget by paying for expensive remodeling projects. They usually do not get a good return on their investment.
With MarKey Property LLC, there is no need for prep work or clean-up. We will have an offer on your home and provide the labor.
4. Don’t Lead with Your Emotions
Homeowners can feel like their home is very valuable. In some cases, there is a lifetime of memories in it. For buyers, that value does not transfer over to them. In turn, the seller may feel upset by any offers that are “too low” by their standards. It’s important to detach sentimental values that are felt from the home’s genuine value through the market. At MarKey Property, we will give you an honest market-based offer. We’ll help you compare other selling options and give you the time and space to determine the right path for you.
