Know Your Property
Selling your home is a big endeavor. It helps to assess all factors involved in the process. Some of the most influencing factors to buyers are LOCATION, PRICE, CONDITION, and TERMS. Take a moment to look at your home through their eyes to make the process a success. Working with an experienced REALTOR® helps you, the seller, keep an objective perspective. He or she will guide you through the process that results in the successful sale of your home.
LOCATION
This factor of your property is the only thing that you cannot change. When looking at placing the correct price on your home, you must specifically consider the comparable properties in your neighborhood, not just the ones which are similar in the entire area. If you do not do so, your property will take longer to sell than desired. Our agents can provide you with a summary of the market activity in your neighborhood and how it compares to your property and where your thoughts fall in the realm of current price trends.

PRICE
An important part of selling your home quickly with the greatest return is to price it at its accurate market value from the beginning. When pricing your property to sell, you must step into the shoes of the buyer and realize he or she only searches in a certain price range for the property he or she can afford. It is crucial to accurately price your home for your location and current market. The higher you price your home above the market, the fewer number of buyers will express interest and the longer it will take to sell. We at The Lachicotte Company work closely with our clients to follow procedural pricing methods which bring the best results for you. We will work with you to understand and adjust with current trends to keep your home competitive during the listing period.

CONDITION
It is sometimes difficult to realistically consider the true state of your home. Afterall, you've lived with it for some time and each nook and cranny belongs to you and you know it well. Or, your situation may be one of a short-term timeframe in which you think the condition is relatively similar to when you moved in. Yet, think about the analogy of buying a car. If you go to the dealership and see two cars you like and both meet your needs except one has dents and body damage, you would expect the problems to be fixed or the price to be reduced, right? This is how a buyer views your property. If another similar home on the market requires less work to be done on it than yours, which will the buyer likely choose? We can help you find areas that need help and troubleshoot solutions to issues your property may have. This way, we can assist you in getting the best price and return on your investment! Please contact us today to get started.
TERMS
There are many terms involved in a property transaction besides the price alone. Our realtors work as your representative and for your best interest to get the best possible terms and consider all issues involved such as repairs, inspections, home warranties, financing, and more. We are ready to guide you through the process. Ask us any questions you may have at any point along the way.
