10 Tips For Selling Your Home

1. For Sale-By-Owner Sign & Flyers: Post your For-Sale-By-Owner Sign and get your Flyers made up immediately. Team up with an experienced mortgage company such as Magic Funding Group to pre-qualify all your potential buyers so you do not waste your time with window shoppers and unscrupulous people who may attempt to rob you and your family. Never allow anyone in your home without a pre-qualified letter from a professional mortgage broker company or bank. Answer questions from potential buyers when they are right in front of your home by placing flyers in a weatherproof box or tube attached to your sign. Remember people who drive by your home may be potential buyers or know someone who is looking to move into the area.

2. Curb Appeal: Get your yard into shape by mowing the lawn and pruning scrubs first. Afterwards, make cosmetic repairs on the interior of your home. It is amazing what a little touch up paint can do for the home. Bottom line is first impressions will help sell your home faster in a buyers market.

3. List Your Home Online: Think of it as a For Sale Sign that is seen online 24/7 hours a day for the world to see. For just a few dollars, you can load up your images; create a detailed description with MagicFSBO.com. Please call (407) 355-3192 for more information.

4. Market Your Home All Over Town: A sign in your yard is a good start but you will also want to place flyers where most people can see them. Try the supermarket, shopping mall and even at your workplace.

5. Talk, Talk, and Talk: Family and friends can make great sales people, but it is your neighbors who will actively promote your home for you. Remember, they have an interest in who is moving into the neighborhood.

6. Advertise: You do not have to buy expensive ads in large newspapers to advertise your home. Shoppers, Penny Savers, and the smaller weekly papers have reasonable rates. However, keep in mind that the larger papers the more they charge because they bring you more readers to your ad.

7. Brag A Bunch: Always give a flyer to potential buyers in conversation, do not hesitate to call attention to the niceties of your home. For example: New carpet, extra large bedrooms, and lots of storage. This way you are painting a visual picture for the potential buyer to get a feel of your home.

8. Provide A Professional Appraisal: It is to your benefit to spend $300 - $325 for a professional “independent appraiser” to provide a true home value, which will give you and your potential buyer peace of mind. Please note, an appraisal is not required but highly recommended. For an approved appraiser list log onto: www.magicfundinggroup.com
