Sedona Home Seller Tips

If you're ready to sell your home start here and utilize this site for its information and tips to make selling your home an easier task.

Selling a home can take a lot of work, and is an extensive process.

Some sellers hire home stagers to make their house easier for buyers to imagine themselves living in it. While the interior of the home is very important, some sellers forget that the first impression of the house will be an exterior view, so it’s just as important to make sure the outside looks good too.

These are the first things seen when a buyer is taking a tour of your home. Having them unkempt makes a bad first impression for the buyer and can hurt the sale of your otherwise beautiful piece of Sedona real estate. Make sure the lawn is mown, the hedges are trimmed, the doors aren’t broken or sagging, and that, as with the aforementioned, make sure it is clean and clutter free! Even going as far as updating or adding landscaping could make your home sell faster.

The first thing you should do is look around your home and notice weak spots, places that might need work or catch the eye of a potential buyer and fix them. Repairs such as oiling doors, scrubbing grout, getting rid of funky odors, and just a general cleaning of your house will make the inside feel fresh.

Since the first thing the buyers will see is the outside, it’s important to make sure it is pleasing to the eye. Gardening, mowing, weeding, removing cobwebs, and even if necessary giving the exterior a paint job will all help to make your house look inviting and attractive to the eye.

Making the spaces look more comfortable and relaxing are two more aspects to buying a house that are worth looking into. For both the interior and the exterior, purchase flowers to bring color to the room.

Potential buyers want to see the house that you are selling in a light that makes it look like their dream home, not yours. Things such as family photos, knick-knacks, and clutter, displace the buyer’s feelings of the home and can deter them from buying it. Stripping the house of everything but the home decor is a good place to start; you may have to put some of your stuff in storage, but it will be worth it when your house sale is prompt.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they are getting a house ready to sell is leaving areas of the house dirty. Leaving your house dirty can severely detract from the attractive features of your home and scare away a potential buyer. Spots often missed when cleaning are: windows, cobwebs in the corners of the house, flooring, walls, ceiling fans, and surprisingly the oven. Taking the few hours to clean your house ‘till it shines and sparkles could make or break your home sale, so pay careful attention to this!

The most important part of selling a home is making sure you have a good realtor who will have your best interests at heart, will work hard, and knows the market well so as to maximize your property’s exposure to potential buyers.
