Of all the things homeowners control when selling a home in London Ontario, the condition of the property is one of the most important.
A crucial part of marketing any product is the presentation of the product. The same is true for real estate. In order to compete effectively with other sellers, homeowners must present their homes to the marketplace in an attractive, desirable condition. When you bought your home, you probably comparison-shopped. Well, buyers still do that today. The average home buyer looks at 10 to 20 properties prior to buying a home in London Ontario.
THINK LIKE A BUYER!
You are not just selling a house. You are selling shelter, a lifestyle and dreams. Buyers arriving at your front door want to find the right home so does not make them search somewhere else. If you do your homework, every room in your home will create a reason for the buyer to stay.
I have sold homes and condos in London Ontario that were not in the best neighbourhoods or were neglected over the years. With a little bit of elbow grease and a few dollars, those houses or condos sold close to asking price and within 30 days!
You have heard of CURB APPEAL, I'm sure. Do you know that many home sellers today and their listing agent apparently have not heard? You've got less than 10 seconds to make a great first impression and when it can mean thousands of dollars in your pocket, why not do something about it? By working with a great Realtor* with the strength and courage to tell you the truth, by making a few cosmetic changes, the sale of your home will be a slam dunk!
PS: Oh by the way, I also have shown houses in great neighbourhoods in the $400-$600,000 range that had poor curb appeal, were in dire need of cosmetics etc. The home seller was stymied why their home had not sold or even received a decent offer! Do you not think that after 60-90 days, price and condition have something to do with it?
I have two free e-books on creating curb appeal and dressing your home before going on the market. Here they are!
