How to Avoid Massive Pain When Selling Understand, from the very start, that you aren’t winning the lottery. Selling your home can be extremely expensive, and just because someone told you that a house down the street sold for $20,000 more than you paid for yours doesn’t necessarily mean that your home will. The homes may be substantially different and/or the folks that sold may be “saving face” by bragging how much got from their home. Even if you are able to sell your home for substantially more than you paid for it, the closing costs you pay at closing may be higher than you had anticipated. In fact, in this area with the dollar move in, the seller usually pays all of the buyer’s closing costs, as well. That can add up—and everything together will probably run 12 to 13% of the price of the home. Just know those numbers going into the sale of your home, and you’ll be okay.
Spend time on the search for a GREAT real estate agent. This is some of the best time you can invest on a major outcome in your life. We suggest an interview with some of the better agents in the area. In fact, by clicking here we can give you a list of 9 things you MUST ask a Realtor in your interview. The agent will put your interest above those of all others, and get you the absolute most they can for your property, market the home to buyers and other Realtors, and after getting a buyer for your house they will take everything seamlessly from contract to closing. Again, make sure to do your homework with this. If you want to add The Franks Group to your list of interviews contact us now to schedule an appointment. Order an appraisal up front! This is very important, because it eliminates a lot of worry and concern on your part. An appraisal runs about $325, but it’s good for the following reasons: first, it gives you a reasonable idea of what to expect for the home; next, it tells you if there are any lender required repairs that must be made to the home prior to closing; finally, it makes it possible to close on your home much more quickly when you do get a buyer on your home. Keep these in mind when you are selling your home, and you’ll do just fine on the sale of your property. We hope this information is helpful to you, and should you have questions that need no strings attached answers--we're a phone call or a click away!That is all... |
