| Step 2 - Preparing Your Home |
Property LocationUnless you have the ability to physically move your home (and have a place to put it) this is the one factor that can not and will not change. So you are only going to entice the traffic from home shoppers who are looking in the neighborhoods similar to yours that match their housing needs. Homes located in districts with highly ranked schools, close to work centers, have easy access to roads, etc., are typically in higher demand than other homes. Know what your major location selling points are when you decide to list your home for sale and market them properly. Property ConditionHomes that look like new always outsell similar homes in lesser condition. Why? Because home buyers are willing to pay top dollar for homes that are in move-in condition when they buy them. So before listing your home for sale put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. Take the time and pay the expenses needed to bring your home up to market condition and you’ll have contributed greatly to your home’s salability factor. Other than setting the right price, this is where you can exert the most influence on your salability factor. Oyster’s proprietary Home Selling Guide is written to help home owners focus on the tasks that get the biggest-bang-for-the-buck during preparations. Our agent consultants will also prepare your very own Home Assessment Report for your property, which explains exactly what you need to do to prior to your listing. And if you don’t have the time or the inclination to do the work yourself then our national strategic partners can take care of the work for you at very competitive prices. |
