A Successful Sale There are five essential components for a successful sale. In the process of pricing your home to sell, all of these factors need to be considered in order to successfully sell your home! 1. Condition: The pricing of your home must accurately reflect its condition. The general upkeep and presentation of your home is critical to obtaining the highest value for your home. Nature of the roof, plumbing, carpets, and paint all relate to condition. 2. Location: The pricing of your home must reflect its location. The better the location, the higher the acceptable price. School districts, high or low traffic, and highway accessibility, all need to be considered in determining the value of your home’s location. We cannot control the location. 3. Market:
Recession, inflation, interest rates, mortgage availability, competition, and the public’s perception of the general economy all make up the market. It may be a buyer’s market or a seller’s market. The pricing of your home must reflect the current nature of the market because we cannot influence the market. We can, however, take advantage of the market.
4. Terms:
The more financing terms and options you accept, the more potential buyers there will be for your property. The pricing of your home must reflect the terms available. The easier the terms, the more valuable your property becomes.
5. Price:
Price is the most important factor in the sale of your home. Price overcomes all objections. The value of your property is determined by what a ready, willing and able buyer will pay for it in the open market, which will be based upon the value of other recent closed sales.

Preparing your Home to Sell Follow these guidelines to maximize the sales price of your home. Exterior Trim all trees and shrubs that block the view of the house. Remove any dead plants, flowers, and shrubs. Keep walkways, paths, sidewalks, and gutters free of weeds and debris. Mow the lawn weekly. Plant flowers and shrubs that add color and brighten your lawn and landscaping. Use redwood compost, decorative bark, etc. as dressing around the base of plants. Keep tools, garbage cans, toys, and other items stored neatly in the garage or shed. Repair any cracks/corrosion present in gutters and touch up with matching paint. Check for broken or cracked shingles or roofing tiles. Check for worn, corroded, or rusted flashing around vents and chimneys. Clear patios and decks of barbecues, charcoal, utensils, etc. Check for rotted boards and posts in decking and fencing. Use outdoor stain, sealants, and protectants to brighten up bleached decking and fence. Add low voltage outdoor lighting in the front and backyard to enhance landscaping. Interior Increase the wattage of bulbs in light fixtures to the maximum that is safe. Keep entryway flooring spotless and have a mat outside for wiping feet. Check tack stripping in corners of carpeted rooms for gaps. Vacuum often. Dirty carpets wear out faster and unevenly. Keep all windows and sills clean. Use razor blades to remove paint, decals, etc. Keep all woodwork spotless. Dust regularly and watch for cobwebs in corners and on light fixtures. Paint any room that needs more than a little touch up. Preferable colors of interior paint are: antique white, bone, frost. Furnishings Replace worn or dated furniture and keep traffic areas clear. Keep bookshelves neat and organized. Visit model homes, designer showcases, and furniture showrooms for more ideas. Upgrade old or worn curtains with new ones Mini-blinds and vertical blinds are preferable. Display fresh flowers from the garden, florist, or supermarket in several rooms.
rabiarealty your real estate specialists
Preparing your Home to Sell Kitchen Professionally clean all appliances, counters, back splashes, cabinets, and floors. Replace broken, worn or outdated knobs and hinges on cabinets. Make sure all cabinets close properly and all drawers operate smoothly. Replace or reface if practical: stove tops, ovens, fan hoods, and other appliances. Keep counters clean and clear. Consider upgrading linoleum to new parquet, random plank, Pergo, etc. Bathrooms Always keep counters clear. Put away bath toys, shampoo bottles, etc. Strip out and replace old grouting and caulking at the slightest hint of discoloration. Make sure faucets don’t leak and replace any fixtures that have lost their finish. Keep bathrooms spotless and smelling slightly of cleaning products. Consider replacing tiling around tubs and showers if the colors are dated. Bedrooms Keep curtains open to let in more light (unless they face a busy street, freeway, etc.) Keep extra furniture to a minimum. Limit pictures, paintings, photographs, and wall hangings to a minimum. Fill the closets with toys, clothes, and anything else that might be left out. Garage Keep as many items as possible neatly stored in rafters, cabinets, or boxes. Try to make the garage - 1, 2, or 3 car - appear to accommodate that many vehicles. Remove unwanted or seldom used items often through garage sales and donations. Miscellaneous Keep fireplaces clean. Replace old gates and screens that are worn or unattractive. Make sure window screens and vent screens are in good repair. Make sure doorknobs aren’t loose and all doors latch properly. Replace yellowed, worn, cracked, broken, or missing faceplates for switches and outlets. Patch and paint settlement cracks on a regular basis. Don’t use the front yard, side yard, or backyard to store cars, boats, or other large items. Have pets out of the way as much as possible. Try to keep the property as hypoallergenic as possible.

Contracts & Negotiation When an offer is presented on your home, you will have three basic choices in deciding how to respond. 1. Accept the offer 2. Reject the offer 3. Make a counter offer Together we will thoroughly analyze the offer, and discuss its strengths and weaknesses. After studying the entire contract, we will give you our recommendation, and then you will decide how to respond. A competent agent is a necessity when it comes to contracts and negotiations, because having the right wording or contingency clause in the contract can mean the difference between a smooth transaction and a messy court battle. Being intricately familiar with real estate contracts, we know how to protect your best interests. Our vast experience in contracts and negotiation helps us ensure you experience a smooth transaction!

Pre-Approval vs. Pre-Qual As a seller, you want to be sure the buyers who are making an offer on your home can complete the transaction. A Pre-Approval is the most powerful tool a buyer can use to prove their ability to purchase a home. A buyer with a Pre-Approval means less surprises or problems! Anyone who wants to buy a home in today market should first review their financial situation with a lender. The understanding of how much can be borrowed reduces the possibility of problems later. There is a big difference between a letter of pre-qualification and a letter of pre-approval, and it is important that you understand this difference before we receive an offer. The Definition of a “Pre-Qualification” When a lender grants a buyer a “Pre-Qualification”, it means the lender has reviewed the buyer’s finances and has done a basic calculation to determine how much that buyer may be able to borrow. While pre-qualification can reduce the processing time for home loans, it does not guarantee that a loan will be made by a lender. The Definition of a “Pre-Approval” When a lender grants a buyer a “Pre-Approval”, it means the lender has actually approved the loan with only two additional requirements. First, that the buyer chooses a home to purchase, and second, the home the buyer chooses appraises at or above the sales price. The “Pre-Approval” letter represents an actual commitment on the part of the lender. In order to secure such a letter it is necessary to complete a formal loan application and pay the associated fees. Credit, salary and bank funds will be checked, and if the loan is a good investment, the lender will issue a pre-approved letter that provides a commitment for a period of time, subject to a satisfactory property appraisal and title search.
