More tips for your clients

  • Sellers who have followed the usual advice about boosting curb appeal and staging the house properly, but still aren’t getting any bites, may want to look at other ways to catch a buyer’s eye.
  • Getting a home appraisal can help a seller to determine that the home is priced correctly.  A professional appraisal will cost $300 to $400 but can be well worth it.
  • Pre-inspect the housing prior to listing.  Buyers want to see that the home was cared for.  An undisputable way to showcase that is to hire a home inspector to go through the house with a fine-toothed comb and rectify any major issues the inspector finds.
  • Offer a warranty, because everyone likes a security blanket.  Home warranties give buyers an assurance that if something goes wrong with any of the major appliances, plumbing, or electrical systems in the housing, they won’t have to pay a lot of money to get them fixed.
