Most homeowners probably see their homes as a place not only to do life, but also one of the best and safest ways to build wealth through the magic of appreciation. But how should they get their homes ready for sale to make the most money possible when selling?
Evaluating your home to see the market trends, demands, and the preference of buyers can be highly beneficial for getting top dollar for your home. You only get one chance for a first impression! So, evaluating your home to ensure it is setup to impress and highlight the great features is imperative to both selling and yielding the best price you can sell for.
This is where Windermere’s unique program called Windermere Ready comes in. Windermere Ready provides sellers with the up-front home improvement costs and helps you to identify areas that may need updating or improvement to sell your home faster and for a higher price.
How Can You Get Your Home Ready to Sell?
Research first! Using the right agent and company can make a significant difference in how quickly you sell your home. A lot goes into listing a home. In the Seattle Puget Sound area, Windermere sells over 36% of all the homes listed. Why? Because we have a level of service and strategy that are unparalleled to others. Picking a Windermere agent to sell your home means you are in the best hands possible.
People usually buy what they see. In fact, people often form a first impression within 7 seconds. Together with your agent, evaluate your home to make sure it’s market ready and ready to shine for buyers. Is it clean? How’s the lighting? Does it need decluttering? Is there any handyman work that needs to be completed? All of these are things your agent should be able to guide you on and advise where your money is best spent before listing.
