Enjoy a Fast, Successful Home Selling Experience

by Lori Madden 01/05/2020

The home selling journey sometimes can be complicated. Lucky for you, we're here to remove the guesswork commonly associated with selling a house.

Now, let's take a look at three tips to help you enjoy a fast, successful home selling experience.

1. Identify Your Home's Strengths and Weaknesses

You may have taken great care of your house over the years, and now, your hard work is about to pay off. In fact, if you assess your home's strengths and weaknesses, you may be better equipped than ever before to transform your residence's weaknesses into strengths.

Sometimes, it helps to conduct a home inspection before you list your residence. An inspection enables a property expert to evaluate your residence both inside and out. Then, you can receive an inspection report that details any underlying problems with your house and correct these issues prior to adding your home to the real estate market.

2. Set an Aggressive Initial Home Asking Price

Establishing an aggressive initial home asking price is paramount. Because if you set a competitive initial home asking price, you likely won't have to wait long before you start to receive offers to purchase your house.

To determine how to price your house, you should review the prices of recently sold houses in your area and other real estate market data. Plus, it may be beneficial to perform a home appraisal to receive a property valuation that accounts for your house's condition and the current state of the real estate sector.

3. Hire an Expert Real Estate Agent

Navigating the house selling journey often is tricky, particularly for sellers who choose to work alone. Fortunately, real estate agents are available in cities and towns nationwide, and these housing market professionals can offer expert guidance throughout the property selling journey.

A real estate agent understands the home selling journey varies from seller to seller. As such, this housing market professional will craft a custom home selling strategy to help a seller achieve his or her desired results. A real estate agent also will do everything possible to promote a residence to potential buyers and ensure a seller can optimize the value of his or her house.

Furthermore, a real estate agent is happy to provide a recommendation about how a seller should proceed with an offer to purchase a house. He or she can help a seller determine whether to accept, reject or counter a property buying proposal. And if a seller has any questions about an offer to purchase, a real estate agent is ready to respond to them.

When it comes to selling a house, it is crucial to get as much help as possible. If you collaborate with an expert real estate agent, you can gain deep insights into all aspects of the home selling journey. Perhaps most important, you can receive comprehensive assistance throughout the property selling journey and increase your chances of enjoying a fast, successful home selling experience.

As a Florida native growing up in Sarasota, I have seen my hometown grow from a sleepy coastal town to a highly sought-after destination along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. After working in Chicago for 5 years, I returned to Sarasota and saw it through a new lens and really began to appreciate what makes Sarasota so desirable, including temperatures that allow for year round outdoor activities including tennis (a personal favorite), golf, boating, kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding, or just relaxing and/or shelling on our pristine sandy shores, including Dr. Beach’s #1 beach in the United States for 2017, Siesta Key! Sarasota’s cultural amenities are many and diverse, appealing to a wide range of arts lovers. Downtown Sarasota has become a destination in itself, drawing many new developments for those who want to be within walking distance of Main Street's offerings and the picturesque bayfront and marina. Foodies will find an eclectic mix of locally owned and operated restaurants offering something for everyone, and there are now Farmers Markets every day of the week in various locations throughout Sarasota, but the Saturday morning Farmers Market in downtown Sarasota draws the biggest crowds. Since 1988, my passion has been selling real estate, representing both buyers and sellers. I have been recognized by my clients and customers for an uncompromising work ethic and dedication to helping them achieve their real estate goals. Relying on my experience as a real estate paralegal and being highly organized, I am able to help make the transition between contract and closing a smooth one for my clients. With an eye for interior and landscape design, I've been known to pitch in and help Sellers minimize and/or reorganize their belongings in order to stage their home to maximize its sale potential. I specialize in out of state buyers looking for their piece of paradise along the Gulf Coast and make it a priority to keep them up to date on our quickly changing local real estate market. I welcome the opportunity to share with you all Sarasota and her surrounding islands have to offer!
