Selling Your Home

Sponsored by Garland Oldham, Realtor

Are you planning on selling your home? The first step is finding a reputable Real Estate Firm to list your home. Interested buyers will make an appointment to see your home in person WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENT. It’s standard to leave your home while potential buyers are there; doing so makes them feel more comfortable talking about the home and encourages them to take their time. Be sure to let your agent know what appliances and fixtures will not be included in the sale so they can let buyers know before they submit an offer. 

Additional tips for home showings:

Identify and remove potential hazards ahead of time. During showings, keep your walkways clear, take your dogs to the park and, if you have a pool, make sure the gate is closed.  If a potential buyer gets hurt while viewing your home, they may try to sue. 

Open the curtains and blinds to let light in 

Turn on all the lights in your home. 

Turn the thermostat to a  comfortable temperature. 

Keep your home in show-ready condition. Keep the clutter under control and home maintained, inside and out. 

Do not let anyone in the home without a Real Estate Agent or Your Agent, until you have been notified of an appointment.
