Welcome to 2017! Spring Fever has already begun, with sellers prepping to sell and buyers excited for new inventory to enter the market. All sellers desire top dollar and a quick and smooth sale, so I thought I would start the year out with a few tips for sellers! 1) Make it “Pretty”: You have seen the model homes and how they look like someone could live there but no one does? And recall how it is as though angels start singing when you walk into this perfectly appointed space that you could literally move right into? Yes! That is what buyers want to feel like as they enter and tour your “not exactly new construction” listing. The biggest money makers are simple: declutter, paint and make it look “pretty!” 2) Get Going and Beat Your Neighbor: Well, don’t actually beat your neighbor, but beat them to the market! Statistics have shown that when one house in the neighborhood pops up for sale, usually 1-3 others pop up soon after. Not sure why, but if you want to beat the competition that is planning their move as you read, call us now, so we can get the plan in motion and beat the rest of the sellers who are going toplan their way right past the spring boom! 3) Price it Right or Get There QUICKLY!: I cannot say that an over priced home has never been in our inventory, and yet our advice is always to price it right in the first place. If you believe it is priced right and the market is telling you otherwise (no offers, few showings), you have to move on it quickly before more competition hits the market and you lose your spot as next house to be SOLD and off the market. Sounds simple, right? Don’t get overwhelmed with the prospect of your next move-Call The Angela Sadat Group today and we will take the reigns and handle all of the details for you. Our goals is for you to experience a “No Worries” listing experience, so you can relax and know that we are watching the market every day, guiding your process and making sure that your house is sold for the most money possible and in the shortest amount of time. Talk to you soon!

For this month’s Seller Summary we are going to talk about home renovations and which ones will give you the biggest return on your investment when it comes to selling your home.
In previous videos we have talked about what small updates can be done to your home before you sell. This video covers some or the larger ticket items like new siding, or refinishing your hardwood floors. If you aren’t sure what kinds of renovations could be completed to your home before you sell, give us a call. We would be happy to sit down with you in a seller consultation to go over your options.
When Should I List to get Top Dollar?
There are a lot of variables that go into determining when is the best time to sell your home. Spring time may be the busiest time of year for selling a home, but what is your goal for selling yours? Is it a more unique home or does it have the same feel as other homes that are listed? Are you looking for a larger home or downsizing? With all of the variables, sometimes it’s best to sit down and weigh the options with a seller consultation. We can help you plan the process to make the right moves and the right time!
Today, Angela and Amber talk a little about what a title company does for you as a seller.

For this months Seller Summary, we have with us Kristy Kasper of With Buyers Eyes. Kristy gives us a few home staging strategies to get you started if you are thinking of selling your home this summer.
Many of our clients are curious about the impact a seller’s market will have on their decision to make a move sooner than later. How does it affect those who are on the fence regarding making a move now versus a few years down the road? What are the benefits to moving in a seller’s market, if I am a seller? All great questions!! First, let’s define a “seller’s market.” Basically speaking, a seller’s market is when there are more buyers than sellers, which creates a higher demand for properties in these markets and drives prices up. Technically speaking, a seller’s market occurs when we have less than 3-4 months of inventory in any given area. What does this mean for YOU? Another great question! There are many benefits for sellers in this market, and not just money (though it is a very good motivator, it is not the only motivator). As much as we like to prepare our sellers to “showcase” the home and make it as close to perfect as possible in all cases, a seller’s market is oftentimes more forgiving. Depending upon the market area and price point you are in, sometimes we find the buyers buy “less than perfect” homes, for top dollar in a seller’s market, as they do not have as many homes to choose from. Also, many homes have certain “challenges” that make them more difficult to sell during times of high inventory and much competition. “Challenges” such as living on a busy road, a small or oddly shaped lot, “interesting” floor plan elements and imperfect updating can often be overcome easily when there are not many homes for buyers to choose from. Am I suggesting we throw out all of our staging tips and design ideas that help our listing shine above the competition? By no means! We want your listing to appear as perfectly appointed as it can possibly appear, and yet if we are looking at spending a lot of time and money updating a room or two versus taking advantage of the current market conditions, we might say “let’s go,” instead of “take your time.” Is this the right market for YOU to take advantage of? Do these market conditions and opportunities pertain to YOUR neighborhood and YOUR home? I would be happy to meet with you and evaluate your specific goals and circumstances to determine the best strategy to make your real estate goals a reality in the easiest and most opportune way possible. Call the Angela Sadat Group today to schedule your free evaluation and let’s get the conversation started! |
