Simple Steps to Get The HIghest Price for Your Home

Selling Mistakes that Will Cost You Big Time!

Not Pricing the Home Correctly

Buyers will compare your home against other homes in the same price range. Using modern technology buyers can now see every Jacksonville Florida house and Ponte Vedra Beach house on the market in the same price range, where the homes are located on a map and view pictures and virtual tours of all these properties. If you home does not match up in size, location and interior finishes then no one is going to look at your home. Thus your home will sit on the market and you will either:

End up reducing your price and being known as "that house that sat on the market" and ending up with a lower selling price then if priced right at the beginning
Have your home expire. You just wasted 6 months of your time and are going to be very frustrated

Not Getting the Right Pricing Information from the Right Source

If you want to know what your Jacksonville home will sell for ask a Jacksonville Realtor. If you want to know how much a bank will finance your home for a purchase then get an Appraisal. Do not trust the pricing of your most expensive possession to automated software program that doesn't take into account the intrinsic value of the different features of your home and the market. Do not use a refinance appraisal or drive by appraisal for the purposes of a real appraisal. Those often gloss over the true value of the home.

Stage Your Home

The brand new homes the builder just finished are beautiful and clean. Chances are your neighbors who put their homes on the market are beautiful and clean inside. Guess what. Your home should be beautiful and clean. Do those repairs. Clean up those messes. Pack away the clutter. A buyer will always overestimate the true cost of any fix up or repair. So pay today or pay double tommorrow when the buyer comes in with that low offer.
