3 Secrets To Guarantee the Best Deal For Your Home

These three tips will help you get the best deal when selling your home. 

Are you looking to sell your home? It’s a great market, but there are still things you can do to make sure you get the best deal possible. Here are the top three secrets to get a great deal:

1. List your home at the right price. The secret behind list price is that it doesn’t equal what you’re going to get for your home. It has very little to do with what a buyer will pay at all. Instead, the list price is part of your marketing strategy. You want to find a sweet spot between a high price and a low one. If you list your home too high, fewer buyers will look at it, meaning there’s no opportunity for competition to drive up the price naturally. If you list it too low, buyers will have fewer expectations and make lower offers. You should list your home differently depending on what type of market you’re in, but if your agent lists your home correctly, you’ve completed the first step in getting the best deal possible.

If you follow these three tips, you will get a great deal, guaranteed.

2. Marketing is a two-part process. Part one is telling an effective story, and part two is getting that story out to your target audience. For real estate, this means telling a great story about your home and finding the right avenues to reach buyers. To tell a great story, you want buyers to become emotionally invested in how your home can fit their lifestyle needs. To reach buyers, we need to make sure brokers tell our story to their buyer clients. If you and your agent can successfully complete this two-part process and list your home correctly, you will set your home up for a great deal. 

3. Create the perfect experience when buyers visit your home. So you’ve marketed your home perfectly using the first two steps, and buyers want to see your home. Now is the time to seal the deal. Part of creating the perfect experience is out of your hands; for example, you can’t change how your entire neighborhood looks as buyers drive up the street. However, you can change how both the outside and inside of your home present themselves. If you craft your home to appeal to buyers’ lifestyle wants and needs, they will make better offers on your home.
