7 insights on how to sell your home in Sacramento

Before putting your house for sale

The pre-sale effort is the mark of success for the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) project.    Pricing a home is extremely important if you want the property to sell.  How is a Home Valued?

The key determiner of a home value is comparable house sales. The more exact match of the comparable properties to the subject property will yield the best home value assessment.  For example If the house is in Elk Grove compare with Elk Grove properties.

7 insights on how to sell your home

1. Properly price the home matching to what the current market will bear.  Over pricing your home could mean it will sit on the market too long. Underpricing the property and you will make less on the sale than the home is worth.
2. Take great pictures- this is the most important thing you can do to sell your house. The greatest of care will be taken when shooting your house both the interior and the exterior. The pictures will be used in many marketing applications.
3. Write a great property description. This will be used on all the real estate websites. It is the second most important thing you can do to sell your house.
4. Make a marketing plan for your home to give it maximum exposure.  The plan could include designing, printing and distributing property flyers, just listed postcards and print ads for local newspapers and home magazines.
5. Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Another strong aspect of marketing is entering your home in the Multiple Listing Service. The MLS will push your sales listing to other websites like Zillow. This can be done for a flat fee from a realtor. And if done correctly, they will not take a listing commission.
6. Do an open house to show the home to interested buyers, who may not want to work around your schedule to see the home. Get the house ready to sell. If the house shows well, people will want to buy it. But if it does not show well only investors will want to make offers.  
7. Do the Follow-up with buyers’ agents who have shown the home to gauge the interest of their buyers and get their feedback.

Make a plan for these 2 issues

1. What commission are you going to pay a realtor who wants to bring a buyer? 2% to 3% would be a normal range. If you don’t want to pay them they will not show your home to their buyer.

2. You should have a plan to give a real estate agent a commission to represent you as a seller. That would be a listing broker for your property. You should have a backup plan just in case you get tired of trying to sell the home yourself.  Explore how to get the best value for your home here
