Selling Your House? 5 Speed Bumps You Need to Avoid

In a moment, five surprising speed bumps that could slow down the sale of your home. I’m Phoenix real estate agent John Cunningham with exp Realty and here are the five surprising speed bumps that could slow down the sale of your home.

Speed Bumps to Avoid is Being Unprepared

I know that sounds simple, but it happens so often and it always costs the seller more money than they think it will if your house needs paint painted, if your house is dirty, clean it. If it’s cluttered, declutter it there basic things. It doesn’t cost a lot to do these things. Get those things done by avoiding the speed bumps in selling your house and you’ll be getting much more money for your home.

Presentation Online Photographs

Are they professional? If the agent walks in with their vintage 2003 Motorola flip phone and takes pictures with it, be aware. Don’t hire them. Hire an agent before selling your house who has a relationship with the professional photographer. It makes a big difference. Most people won’t even look at the house any further if they don’t like the photographs online.

Clear and Concise Description

Make sure the description of the home is clear and concise, easy to read, and makes the buyer want to take closer after. Look, if the agent that you’ve hired doesn’t have a good understanding of online digital marketing, knowing how to put the home in front of as many eyeballs as possible, then you’ve got the wrong agent disrepair then.

Paint and Cleaning

Now, this goes way beyond paint and cleaning. If you’ve got mechanical issues like air conditioners, heaters, water heaters, roofs, anything like that, that’s in disrepair, you’re going to get beat up on the price. So don’t kid yourself. It’s going to come up during the home inspection. If you’ve got those kinds of things that need to be taken care of, I would urge you to take care of that if you’re not sure of who to hire to do it.

Selling Your House

We’ve know we have relationships with lots of competitive contractors here in the Valley and finally unwillingness to accommodate. So, if it comes in showing before selling your house because you wanted to make it easy for the buyers to be able to see your home. You don’t want to restrict them to between two o’clock and three 30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and make it difficult for them to see the home any other time. You want to make it as easy as possible for them to see it on a short notice as possible.
