Michele Harmon Team does not want common myths to steer your home sale! We know selling a property can feel just as stressful as buying one. Your home is where your treasured memories, and probably your largest financial investment, reside. It is important that every part of your home sale runs smoothly. Do not allow incorrect or outdated ideas influence your transaction! Michele Harmon Team is here to help you avoid common home selling myths when you are getting ready to put your home on the market.
Myth #1: Remodeling Projects Always Yield Dividends When You Sell
It is possible that your renovation will pay off when it is time to sell, but many do not. Some updates may make your property more attractive to buyers, and others do raise appraisal values and sales prices, but do not count on getting back dollar-for-dollar what you spent. The first step in selling your home is meeting with a Michele Harmon Team Listing Specialist and allowing us to tour your home. Your Michele Harmon Team Listing Specialist will come prepared to find the best value for your home. We will present you with recent comparables, and give you an informed breakdown of how much your home is worth, what needs attention, and whether there is any real value in renovating.
Myth #2: Your House is Worth What Your Friend’s or Neighbor’s House Sold For
Many factors determine your home’s value, including property condition and nearby comparable sales. Appraisals are not the same as sale prices, either. Just because your neighbor sold her home for $50,000 over asking price, it is not guaranteed that yours will. Every situation is different.
Myth #3: You Can Save Money by Selling Your Home Yourself
Selling a home takes a lot more than just posting pictures online and putting up a “For Sale”
sign in your yard. Michele Harmon Team will guide you through each step of the transaction, including pricing your home and assessing offers. When you hire Michele Harmon Team, you have not one, but MULTIPLE licensed and experienced agents and admin working for YOU! We will help you avoid missing important deadlines, or making costly mistakes that could threaten the entire sale. You will have access to specialists in all areas such as staging, marketing, negotiating, buying, selling, commercial, investing, and leasing. Michele Harmon Team’s complete marketing strategy can also help you attract more and better offers!
Myth #4: The Highest Offer is Always the Best
Money is important, but other factors play a significant role in selecting an offer. The best offer also works with your timetable and terms. Michele Harmon Team has a wonderful Transaction Coordinator who helps simplify the process with a detailed contract summary.
Myth #5: Do Not Accept the First Offer
In some cases, the first offer will be the best offer. Do not disregard the first offer simply because it arrived first. Consider whether it meets your goals and what might happen if you reject it prior to having other offers in hand.
