When it comes to selling your home there are a few things you need to do to ensure the quickest sale and the best price. Most importantly, you need to choose a qualified professional who can get your home noticed in the right places by the right people. In this day and age, many people are looking to discount brokers for selling their home. Here the old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ has never been more true. You may pay less, but you will also get less (and in a much longer selling time). After all, why would you do all the work and get a lower net on the sale? It truly pays to have a knowledgeable expert helping you make the right choices and navigate this very challenging market. Call a PRIME expert in Atlanta to find out more.
In preparation for sale there are also some very critical steps you need to take toward preparing your home to showcase to buyers. First, make sure that the home is always clean. Next, go through all the ‘extras’ in your home and remove them. Making the home as neutral as possible helps your home appeal to more buyers and a variety of tastes. Not everyone has the same taste as you (and vice versa), so don’t limit yourself to buyers exactly like yourself. Most everyone is an individual and it does not make sense to limit your buyer pool to people only as yourself.
If you have any specific religious, cultural, or lifestyle suggesting items, they should be stored out of sight until your move. Additionally, get rid of any colors that may be too far from neutral. Consider this, if you went to look at a home and your personal preference did not include purple walls with pink trim, how attracted would you be toward that home? Similarly, if you are of traditional values and you look at a home with lots of pornographic or suggestive art work, how attracted would you be to that home? Or perhaps you like clean spaces and the home you visit has toys and trash strewn about, how attracted would you be to that home? This is why we always recommend a neutral clean environment for your perspective buyer. You want to ensure that they are comfortable in your home and can imagine how their things would fit.
If the home is too suggestive, cluttered or has too many colors that are hard to match, then your buyer pool has been reduced tremendously.

Additionally, when it is time to sell you need to make sure that your home shows up in the right places: in front of the right prospects. A discount package that only hits a few avenues where buyers look might not fill the need. that is why the PRIME experts place your home in so many places to get noticed. I am sure you have heard that ’sales is a numbers game’, and it is. The experts at PRIME realize that selling your condo in Midtown is not the same as selling your McMansion in Buckhead. Each property needs a tailored marketing approach. The ‘one size fits all’ approach you will find from the discounters does not work, and ultimately costs you more than you will ever imagine.
Think about it this way: if you sell your home with a PRIME expert for $400,000 and pay a 6% commission, you will net $376,000 and not have to do any work. If you use a discount broker statistic show you will get an average of 16% less for your home or $336,000. Plus, you will have to do ALL the work. Would you rather have more money and less work, or less money and more work? Using a PRIME expert who knows where and how to place your your home just makes more since when you add it all up.
The PRIME team serves areas through out Atlanta like: Midtown, Buckhead, College Park, East Atlanta, Decatur, Poncey Highlands, Virginia Highlands, Fourth Ward and any other area inside the metro perimeter. We are here to help!
