You often hear about the first time home buyer, but what about the first time home seller?
It can be equally, if not more stressful and confusing to be a first time seller.
One major difference between a home buyer and a home seller is once you decide to sell, virtually everyone involved in the transaction from this point forward is going to use the seller’s equity to make the magic of a sale happen. As a buyer, whether you are looking for a home to live in or your next investment property it is definitely much more fun and exciting to be on the buying side. As for the seller, most people cannot just get up one morning and take pictures of their home and be ready for potential buyers to see it, more than likely it is going to take a little bit or a lot of preparation. Just remember how excited you were when you were shopping for that home you are now considering selling, but now selling it may seem somewhat daunting. Rest assured, it can be simplified, affordable and also be very rewarding to get the most for your home.
In today’s market sellers have more options than ever to choose how to sell, and with so many choices how do you know who or what is right for you?
With more options it means more competition, which actually puts you more in control of the selling process. The real estate industry is evolving and that is great news for sellers.
So what’s first for a seller?
