How Corona Estates Can Help You Sell Your
Home at the Best Possible Price
Making a mistake in selling a home can cost
you hundreds, thousands—even tens of thousands of dollars—in
lost profit.
Often home sellers make the same mistakes over
and over. However, avoiding these mistakes is relatively easy
and takes little effort on your part. Corona Estates will help
you avoid these common pitfalls to ensure a successful sale.
Avoid Distress Selling
At times, selling quickly is unavoidable. That’s
when knowing the right techniques to sell your home without
looking desperate and making yourself a target for low bidders
really pays off. Knowing all there is to know about the market
before listing and working hand-in-hand with one of our Home
Specialists who is familiar with homes in your area is crucial.
Until you know what your house is worth, do not settle for the
first offer through the door.
Be the Best Home in the Neighborhood
Your home is one of your most personal possessions.
Don’t be blind to its flaws and needs for cosmetic improvements.
Without updating your home to the current trends, you may be
prone to overvalue the price of your home, hurting it’s
chances to be sold. Corona Estates offers you a well-informed,
“third eye” that will help you price your home at
a fair market price.
Avoid Limited Home Viewing
Buyers want to view a home on their own time
schedule. Unfortunately their time schedule does not always
coincide with yours. Leave a lockbox or key with your agent
so your home can be shown even when you’re not around.
You never know if the one who got away could have been your
buyer.
Restrain Emotional Decisions
Don’t allow a few hundred dollars to ruin
a sale. That money will mean very little to you in the long
run. Take a look at the big picture and react rationally. Use
sound business judgment! Our Home Specialists will help you
in every part of the transaction.
Make Cosmetic Improvements
Prospects make up their minds within the first
twenty minutes. First impressions can make all the difference
in selling your home. Spending $12,000 on new carpet might add
another $30,000 to the price of your home. Our team will provide
you with an objective point of view. They can provide you with
a list of items that will maximize the profit of your home sale.
Disclose Property Flaws
Property disclosure laws require sellers to
list any flaws required by your state. If you are unaware of
flaws or attempt to cover them up, you risk losing the sale
or worse—finding yourself in court. We can offer you professional
assistance and can introduce you to qualified inspectors to
ensure the smooth sale of your home.
For Sale by Owner
Most homeowners who decide to sell their own
home do so because they believe they can save the commission
paid to the real estate agent. Everything has a price and selling
a home carries a high one. The enormous amount of time and effort
required to sell a home often surprises the “do-it-yourself”
owner. Furthermore, many costly mistakes can be avoided with
the right guidance.
Refusing to Trust Your Agent
Would you tell a physician that you’ve
decided to run your own tests and come to your own diagnosis?
Of course not. By choosing Corona Estates, you are selecting
a valuable team member whose primary goal is to protect your
best interests and make your sale as profitable as possible.
Understand Your Market
Most homes that do not sell in their first listing
period are priced too high. Conversely, most homes that sell
quickly are priced too low and cheat the homeowner out of profits.
You need to understand the market and evaluate the value of
your home based on fact, not gut instinct or conventional wisdom.
Our Home Specialists know the market, just as you know the market
for your business.
Stay Away From Choosing a Realtor Based on
Personal Relationships
Home sellers often pick a friend or family member
as their agent. Nothing can be more detrimental to your relationship
if your friend or family member fails to deliver results.
Choose an agent with a strong track record and
aggressive marketing plan. Our team of top producers knows the
market well and can generate many buyers. By aligning yourself
with one of our Home Specialists, you ensure that all the important
issues and seemingly insignificant, but very important, details
are handled professionally.
Keep in mind that selling your home is one of
the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Base it
on good, sound business sense and the rewards will add up.
