Follow these three tips to sell your home successfully during spring.
How do you get your home ready for the spring market? Today I wanted to talk about the three key things when it comes to selling your home in spring and some of the options that you have as you get ready:
1. Start early.
One of the biggest mistakes most sellers make is they don't plan or prepare soon enough. They have to go through the decluttering process, and the sooner you can do that, the better. Also, if we think you'll walk away with more money by using our concierge or renovation program, we can start planning right now. If you wait until a month from when you want to move, it's already too late.
2. Have plenty of time to maximize the sale price. It takes 90 to 100 days to sell and make a move now. If you want to move in the summertime, you’ll need to start preparing in December. It will probably take a month and a half to sell the home, then another month and a half to close. A good rule of thumb is that it takes 120 days from preparing to moving.
3. Be clear on your goals.
The first question that we ask when someone is buying or selling a home is: why do you want to move? Your goal is our goal. Get crystal clear on why and when you want to move, because that helps us plan and work backward to create your listing plan.
These are the three key points you have to remember when selling during spring. As always, we have a great new program that can give you a cash offer without ever visiting the home. This gives you a baseline of the exact cash offer that you want. Just call or email me with any questions. We’re always happy to help!
