Let's discuss a few ways you can be sure to maximize the sale of your home this fall.

Price Your Lynchburg Home Right

The price you put on the home is one of the first things that will attract a buyer. Pricing your home correctly has become more essential than ever before. Price brings a message to potential buyers. If you price too high you will discourage buyers from making an offer. Buyers begin to wonder what could be wrong with the property if it is priced too low. 

Price increases and buyer demand is slowing down a bit and inventory is increasing, which means listening to the market and I can help you determine that number which attracts the most buyers. 

Keep Your Home Clean

I like to go over with the home seller specifically how to prepare for a buyer tour. Buyer agents often call at the last minute to scheudle an appointment for a showing and creating a system to keep the place tidy will make the home selling process easier. I tell sellers all the time, no one wants to buyer a house dirtier than the one they live in. 

Before a tour be sure that you wash the dishes, make the beds and clear any clutter. You want to elilmiminate any distractions for buyes.

Help Buyers Feel at Home

You want buyers to imagine living in the house. By removing your personal items like family pictures and any sentimental items you can create a blank space for potential buyers to imagine llving in. Often removing furniture will also help the space feel bigger. 

A recent article from the National Associateion of Realtors (NAR) states:

"Staging is the art of preparing a home to appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers in your market. The right arrangements can move you into a higher price-point and help buyers fall in love the moment they walk through the door.”

Getting the most for your home requires a plan. Let's connect so you can get expertise advise on how to get ready to list, how to help your home stand out among the rest and make the most of your investment.
