Posting your home for sale is a big investment and not something you would do half-heartedly. The fact of the matter is that too many folks don’t plac enough emphasis on the ‘pre-selling’process when they are getting ready to sell a home. Getting a good Realtor is important. here we are going to take a minute t lok at some of the things you should consider paying for ‘Before’ you put your home up for sale.

1. Getting a good Realtor to represent you and see you through the transaction

2. Doing a title search to make sure there are no liens on the property (this is a sure deal killer)

3. Get a property inspection and repair any damages that may give a buyer leverage towards closing

4. Higher a professional house stager to come in a stage your home to sell (nothing is worse than a sloppy home)

5. Get a professional video tour made for viral internet marketing (making up more than 57% of buyers)

6. Get a professionally made layout with accurate measurements drawn

7. Have a professional take plenty of digital photographs of the interior and exterior of the home

These are just a few of the things that will help your home selling process go smoother and be more profesisonal. There’s no sense in waiting until the day before the closing to hear that the buyer wants a consession for home repairs, or worse, that you have a lien from 11 years ago that was waiting for your home to sell to collect, this will either kill the deal or worse delay it and you could lose plenty of money because of it.

Talk to your Realtor about it and see if they would recommend it, just remember that it’s better to be smart and pre-forsee these things needing to be taken care of now then having them come to bite you in the end, later. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure… (interperated: the amount you’ll spend now to elimiate these pitfalls, will be much less than the amount you could stand to lose should they prove correct).

Video Tours: Video Tours are becoming more and more popular with more than 57% of new home shopper looking for properties online before they even call the Realtor. This number is only getting larger and being prepard for the move will only help you to fair better in a changing tide of the Real Estate marketplace.
