How To Sell Your House in the Pittsburgh Area
Get Your Home into a Walk-Through Ready Condition
- Make any repairs you can afford. Potential buyers tend to fixate on problems like leaky faucets and broken closet doors, so get them fixed before you list. If you cannot afford a repair, get an estimate so buyers will know the cost they are facing.
- Replace the flooring or carpet in areas that look worn or dingy.
- Work your curb appeal! Mow the lawn, rake leaves, maintain flowerbeds, and keep the sidewalk clear. Fix broken shudders or broken windows, or repaint the front door if the paint is peeling.
- Keep the interior fresh and clean. Remove any odors or stains. Eliminate clutter and remove as many personal objects as you can. Put excess furniture and belongings in storage if it will help make the space look bigger.
- Decide if you should get a pre-listing inspection or if you should hire a professional stager. Your agent can recommend specialists in both areas.
Let Your Stonebridge Real Estate Agent List Your Property
- Work with us to determine the appropriate listing value for your property. This is key to making sure your property does not linger on the market for too long, and that you get a fair price for the property.
- Provide any information or photos your agent may request to help with marketing materials.
- Let your agent know if you're also in need of a buyer's agent. We can start showing you houses in your selected area and price range.
Have Your Listing Agent Show the Property and Bring Offers to You
- Coordinate schedules and make sure all showings are scheduled through your agent.
- Make plans to be away from the house when potential buyers come for a walk-through. This helps potential buyers envision themselves living there, and eliminates awkwardness.
- Have fresh flowers, cookies, or fresh-brewed coffee out to create an inviting and homey atmosphere.
- Evaluate offers with your agent. Your agent will provide honest, unbiased advice on the quality of offers and whether you should accept, reject, or negotiate.
- Ensure that all discussions and negotiations are handled via your Stonebridge Real Estate agent.
