These tips could be just what you need to help you sell your Rogers home.
Why won’t my house sell in Rogers? – 6 Tips To Cure It
1) Get good help.
When times are good, the market gets flooded with novice agents and investors rushing into the booming market trumpeting that they know what they’re doing.
But they don’t. They’re getting hit hard with the nuances of financing, deal structure, and evaluation. Seriously, it’s highly likely that real estate is your biggest investment – don’t trust just anyone’s advice. If you want great results, partner with the pros.
2) Don’t make too many improvements.
Too often we see over-improved properties – those where the owners have gone too far and spent too much. Even with the best of intentions, exceptional craftsmanship and true artistic talent, it’s incredibly challenging to exceed what the market is paying. Plus, most buyers want to add their own custom touches. It’s common for a buyer to come in and re-do practically everything you’ve done in order to make the home their own. Our advice: get rid of all the clutter and think “neutral”.
3) Do make necessary repairs.
Unfixed stuff scares buyers – they’re afraid that what they see only scratches the surface of what could be wrong. Show that you are a responsible property owner and get all the little details fixed.
Don’t leave gaps in the trim or plates off of the switches. Get it inspected by a professional home inspector, and show off the healthy home report. This goes a long way towards making your buyer that they’re making a good purchase. People buy homes that they feel good about.
4) Style and design matter.
Curb appeal is as important as the inside – so don’t neglect one part of the property to improve the other. Give buyers a cohesive impression of great style. Paint the walls, update the landscaping, and most of all – keep it immaculately clean. Consider hiring a professional designer to help tastefully stage the property and a professional cleaning company to come in regularly while your home is listed.
5) Pricing matters a lot.
If you’re having a lot of showings but not getting offers, you might not be too far off in price. If your best efforts to advertise your property aren’t making the phone ring, you’re probably overpriced.
6) Every property will sell – sometime.
There’s no magic formula – but there’s no substitute for experience.
