Evaluating Reasons to Sell
I recently read that, according to the latest Census Bureau information, the State of Florida has an inventory of 1.6 million homes, fully 20% of the total homes, are vacant in the State.
Now, I recognize that Massachusetts has no where near that total number of vacancies, however, those who are contemplating selling their home must understand that there is a lot of competition by Sellers for that "right and qualified" Buyer in the market for a new home. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Seller to place themselves in a position to optimize their property for sale.
I have been saving an article that I read last fall to share with my clients. It stated in fairly simple terms.
I believe that this is a good opportunity to share this information with everyone who visits the Flavin and Flavin web site.
All eleven reasons are not necessarily applicable in all situations, however, each reason should be considered for your purposes and property. Simply stated the eleven reasons are:
1. Pick the "best" Broker 7. Curb Appeal
2. Get an Appraisal( Or Opinion of 8. Everything is Negotiable
Value) 9. Get an Inspection
3. Get the Right "Comp" 10. Hire a "Stager"
4. Tax Assessment 11. Fix it First
5. Conserve Utilities
6. Sell Green
Now, as I stated previously, some, or, all of these "Eleven Reasons" may be applicable to you and your Property. To see the complete article by Douglas McIntyre published on October 18, 2010 refer to Yahoo Finance as provided by 24/7 Wall St and the link below:
If you would like to discuss these reasons and others, such as an educated "Asking Price" and the right "Sales Agent" for you, then please do not hesitate to contact me and we can meet in your home or my office and discuss the best combination of "Reasons" to sell YOUR home.
I appreciate your attention and your business...Nick DiLoreto
