What should I do during the selling process?
During the time your home is on the market, it is advisable that you do the following so that we can ensure everything is done as quickly and smoothly as possible for your home sale:
• Supply anything required by us, the inspector, the Title Company, or other participants as quickly as possible.
• Answer all of our questions honestly and carefully and provide your buyers with a full and accurate disclosures.
• Continue to keep the property fully insured.
• If you receive any notices that affect the property from any authority, please inform us. You are required to disclose them to the Buyers even if you are under contract.
• Continue to pay your mortgage in full and do not stop until after the sale has closed
What should I disclose to Home-shoppers
Little or nothing, at least until an offer has been presented. Home-shoppers and their agents will try to gleen information from you as to why you are selling or when you need to be in your next home. It is usually done in a friendly, off-handed way and you will likely think nothing of it.
However, this information will be used against you during negotiations. It is a negotiating truth that whoever has the most information usually comes out on top. We want to stick to “just the facts”. This is one of the main reasons we recommend you be absent when your home is being shown.
What should I disclose to the home buyer?
Once a home-shopper becomes a home-buyer, it is your obligation to disclose everything you know about the property that you would want to know if you were buying it. You are legally obligated to tell the buyer about anything you know that would effect their health or safety or that isn’t obvious during a reasonable inspection.
Who makes repairs after an inspection?
Just because the buyer orders one or more home inspections doesn’t obligate the seller to make repairs or modifications as a result of those inspections.
Typically, however, inspection reports are used to negotiate repairs of major problems, or environmental, or safety hazards that may be noted.
It is wise to be negotiable if major items are identified in the inspection reports.
How Can I Help Sell My Property?
Let everyone you know that your home is for sale. We will be creating videos and an individual website just for your home. Pass these along to all your Facebook and Instagram friends.
Talk to your neighbors as they frequently know of people who would love to move into your neighborhood. Let your co-workers know and ask if they know anyone looking to move.
Be as cooperative as possible when Realtors want to show your home. Make it accessible as many hours of the day as you can.
Follow our staging advice to make your home appealing to a wide spectrum of home-shoppers. A clean, uncluttered property is attractive and desirable.
