What To Know When Selling A House

Selling a property is not as easy as you may think. If you have never gone through the home selling process before, then you should be prepared for an extremely stressful experience. To make the process as smooth as possible, you need to make sure that you take proper preparation and make smart decisions along the way. Here are some of the most important things that you should know about before selling:

 

Hiring a Competent Realtor Is Crucial

More often than not, people fail to see the importance of hiring a real estate agent when selling a house. Even worse, they sometimes make the mistake of thinking that all agents are the same. They are not. It is vitally important that you choose the right realtor to help you sell the house. High-performing agents come with certain qualities and skills that set them apart from mediocre ones. To find a great real estate agent to work with, make sure that you know how to ask the right questions and the right answers, you should be looking for.

 

Prepare Relevant Information, Paperwork, and Documents

A competent realtor understands what information needs to be included in the description of the house they are selling. Instead of simply placing a “for sale” sign in front of your property, they will write captivating information about your house to attract potential buyers, along with marketing it online as well as offline. To help them do that, you need to provide them with relevant paperwork documents that include information such as the most important mechanics of the home and updates that have been done to the house. Listed down below are a few examples of the information, paperwork, and documents that you should prepare before selling your house:

 

– Roof age and relevant warranty paperwork

– Furnace age and instruction manuals

– Central air conditioning age and instruction manuals

– Hot water heater age and instruction manuals

– Any other appliance ages and respective instruction manuals

– Dates of any and all home improvement projects, such as sunroom additions, kitchen or bathroom renovations, window installation, and so on

– Any certificate of compliance (if applicable), such as deck permits, fence permits, and so on

– Outstanding mortgage balance (if any) and pay-off balance

– Instrument survey

 

Determining the Best Time to Sell

Not all real estate markets are the same. There are good times to sell and times that are not. In general, the spring months are typically the best times time to sell. If a realtor urges you to sell your house in December and claims that it is the right time to sell, then you should run as fast as you can from this realtor. While selling a house in the winter is not impossible, you will find that March, April, and May will give you much higher offers. That being said, it is also important to consider your own circumstance when deciding when to sell a house. For some people, the best time to sell may be outside the spring months. Make sure that whenever you are selling your home, it is the most convenient time for you. It is a good idea to list down all the pros and cons of each selling time period to determine the best option for you. Of course, a good real estate agent should be able to help you make the right decision.
