Selling your home can be a very emotional time and it’s difficult to consider the true value of your property in monetary terms alone or reach a wide enough market to enable you to sell your property within a specified timeframe. This is where your RE/MAX Eralia agent is invaluable. Professional property agents can guide you on presentation, marketing and pricing your property at a realistic market level.
Studies show when a professional agent is used it generally achieved a better price within the desired timeframe, whereas sellers who represent themselves often don’t achieve the desired asking price and can get ambushed by unforeseen problems.  The RE/MAX network allows you to choose a local agent with expert knowledge of your area, on-hand every step of the way.

Studies show that vendors who use a professional real estate agent to represent them usually achieve a better price than those who decide to sell their property independently. Real estate agents not only get a better price within the allotted time frame, they are also aware of any potential problems and can steer you away from trouble. Also, they can inject some munch needed objectivity when selling your own home. Locate a RE/MAX Eralia agent by visiting www.remax-eralia-costadelsol.com


Before Your Home is Listed
Make sure your home is in the best possible condition before buyers are invited to view.

• Touch up interior and exterior paint as needed.
• Install new carpeting and flooring if it appears worn or dated.
• Make sure the front is clean and spruced up – curb appeal will create a favourable first impression.
• Make sure the garden is mowed, trimmed and cleared of fallen leaves.
• Keep the interior clean, de-cluttered and odour and pet free.
• Minimize personal items such as family photos, to allow buyers to envisage living in your home.
• Clean out the garage and consider putting excess furniture and clutter in storage.
• Consider engaging a professional stager to give your home the right emotional appeal.

During the Listing Period

• When potential buyers visit your home preferably be absent or at least make yourself inconspicuous.
• A vase of fresh flowers in the hallway will create an inviting ambiance.
• Don’t reject offers below the asking price out of hand and dropping the price if you asking price isn’t met (this shouldn’t be necessary if the property is correctly priced) Pay attention to your agent.
• In buyer's markets it takes longer to sell a home than during boom times, so don’t be discouraged, your home will sell eventually. It's a matter of your RE/MAX agent finding the right buyer for you!
