EXPIRED!!! - HOW TO SELL A HOUSE THAT DIDN'T SELL

PAGE 1

Note: There is no mention of how much you paid for your home or its improvements. 1 ike any other investment, the market value is determined by what a willing buyer will pay and a willing seller will accept.

3 - CONDITION OF YOUR HOME Show Case Quality!

Is your house someone else's idea of a dream home? When buyers enter are they inspired`? Do they think, "I love this house!" Remember, the decision to buy a home is based on emotion, not logic. A house in move-in condition invites a sale. You need to consider:

- fixing all the little squeaks and cracks - keeping it clean for all showings
- making it uncluttered - brightening it up
- what your home shows like from the street concentrating on outside curb appeal.

Plus - Consider taking care of major items, such having your home painted. Offering an allowance to your prospective buyers, so they can have painting completed is not the same as having done it for them. Now, as they're trying to imagine what that new paint job will look like, they may also be discounting the price even further because of the less-than- perfect look of those walls.

Remember....

A house that presents well, sells for the best price because it outshines the competition.

Ask your agent if they can arrange a ~ no-obligation inspection of your home to help you assess the above.

4 - MARKETING ....

Marketing Your Home to Sell! Some Questions You Should Be Asking!

One of the first steps in your marketing plan involves finding an agent who will best represent you. When interviewing agents, test and compare their knowledge and ask each to demonstrate how they will market your home to buyers. Compare, too, how much money each spends on advertising the homes s/he lists, in what media (newspaper, magazine, etc.) and the effectiveness of one medium over the other. Remember, it's not just how much they spend, but how they spend it.

Say goodbye to any real estate agents using old, traditional methods to sell your home because they don't work in today's market!

To be competitive in today's marketplace, agents who use new and innovative, nontraditional marketing approaches are the ones who are getting more homes sold fast and for top dollar.

HOT TIP!!!
Get the Best Results!

To get the best results when selling your home, you need to team up with your agent to develop a powerful marketing plan that exposes your property to the widest possible pool of prospective buyers.

And Remember...

Not all agents are the same. The relationship between you and your agent can make the difference between selling your home fast, or not selling it all.

BUYERS ARE OUT THERE ...AND THEY WILL COME!

Before You Put Your Home Back on the Market remember:

1. Effective communication is vital between you and your agent.
2. Price your home according to market conditions, competition and the condition of your house.
3. Be sure your house is in showcase, buyer ready-condition.
4. Have an innovative marketing plan firmly set in place.
