Sold homes in seattle

IF YOUR HOME ISN’T SELLING...
Video your home inside and out. Watch the tape as if you were a buyer. Do you see: clutter, dirt, dead plants, weeds? A home that looks too lived in or not lived in, does not show well.Look at the listing price, visit other homes that are on the market in your neighborhood or your town that are like yours and get a feel for what people are asking. When the market is hot and your home has not sold in a month or two, consider lowering your asking price for a speedy sale.DO NOT stay in the home when it is being looked at by prospective buyers. Your presence makes it hard for the prospective buyers to talk openly with their spouse or agent.Offer a Home Warranty for the buyer. The cost is not much for an added incentive that may sway the decision.When looking for a Listing Agent, look for one with a proven track record in your area. Local Agents know their market and most times have a list of leads.Don’t be fooled by thinking that taking your home off the market during the cold weather or holiday season is a good idea. This is a time when there are fewer listings on the market and if buyers are looking they will look harder at your listing. It may be inconvenient for you, just let your agent know you will need a 24 hour notice for showings of your home.
