Looking To Sell?

 
Why List With Julie?
When you work with Julie A. Snyder, you receive the best service, a proven sales record, a professional photographer and a professional home stager (if required). These are all costs Julie incurs as she wants your home to look the best it can for prospective buyers. The better your home looks, the higher the sale price!

The first three weeks that your house is on the market are the most critical. This is when you get the most attention. Holding open houses are very important, and the success of the open house depends on the marketing and awareness brought to any potential buyers. Julie lets "everyone and their mother" know of any upcoming open houses, including the prospective buyers she represents, fellow RE/MAX Realtors, Realtors from other firms in the area, and even your neighbours!

Julie is able to advertise your property immediately on her very popular website, YourBestFriendInRealEstate.ca, and on the Real Estate Board so all agents who represent buyers can see it. This immediacy is ideal because it can take up to three business days for your listing to become active on the Multiple Listing Service. Julie also holds realtor open houses to get the Realtors motivated to talk to their buyers and Sell Your House!

Julie has come up with a list of tips to help you prepare your home so it will sell faster and at the best price.

Selling Tips

Curb appeal

Curb appeal is important as it drives your buyers' interest in the home, and they want to see more. Trimming the trees, cutting the grass, shoveling the driveway and adding some colourful flowers to you garden, etc., will make potential buyers feel welcome. There is no end to the things you can do to add curb appeal to your home.

Personal Belongings

Remove any personal belongings so potential buyers can imagine themselves making your house a home. This may involve removing family pictures, collectibles, etc.

Clutter

Less is more! Make sure every room in your house is clutter-free. For example, the kitchen counter tops should be clear of toaster ovens, pots and pans, etc. and you should remove magnets and other items from your refrigerator. All rooms in the house should be clean and well organized, and potential buyers should be able to walk around freely without bumping into everything.

Touch Ups

It is a good idea to touch up any paint spots, scratches on floors, stains on carpets, etc. so the buyer doesn't see your home as a "fixer-upper".

Home Stager

Julie will bring a home stager to stage your home if she feels it will result in your house selling faster and for a better price. Not all homes need to be staged. You and Julie will discuss it to determine if a home stager will add value.

Cleanliness

This one is pretty obvious, but it is critical to keep your home neat and clean while you are in the process of selling. You may have to tidy on a daily basis until your house is sold. Having your house in such a perfect state can make living in your home uncomfortable. Just remember, this is only temporary so try keep in mind that you are doing it to make your home more appealing to prospective buyers, which could mean more money in your pocket!

Preparing your house is a very critical step in having it sold for the best possible price. Please contact Julie for a Free, no-obligation Home Evaluation. Even if you are not planning to sell right now, but are curious to know what your home could sell for in today's market, give Julie a call!
