In part 1 we discussed some basic necessities you’ll need when selling your home or condo. In part 2 we’re going to take a closer look at some very common reasons and problems that sellers face when selling a property.

Your homes accessibility is a major consideration. If your house is easy to find and get to, it will typically move quicker than homes that are difficult to get to. Remember that your potential buyers and their realtors are busy. They will skip seeing your home if it is a hassle to view. Make sure to always use a lockbox so other agents may access your house while you are away. This way the buyer and their agent’s life easier. If security is an issue, use an electronic lock box (they record who accessed your home).

It’s true what they say; it can simply come down to location. If you’re in a sought after location, your realtors marketing plan should showcase it. If you are not, you may want to take steps to make your home’s location more appealing to potential buyers. Consider the noise level around your home and make sure to build a hedge or wall to reduce noise pollution. Showcase nice views and your proximity to other great amenities around your home.

Details count, for a lot! When you go to sell your home, have your personal Realtor come in and evaluate your property. 9 times out of 10 they will have a list of things you should do in order to sell your home quickly and for the price you want. Basic things that must be done no matter what are: give the walls a fresh coat of paint. If you do not have the time and can afford to have someone do it for you, then make sure to wash them very well. This makes one of the biggest cosmetic differences to your home. Things like carpet, tiles, even the grout between the tiles should sparkle without exception. A simple rule to follow is: if it can be cleaned it should be, and if can be cleaner or sparkle a little more than it should.

Part 3 of this article series will discuss buyer and seller difficulties and how to overcome them.
