Selling a Home

Rachna’s goal is to sell your property quickly at its best possible price and terms. Selling a home can be overwhelming, time consuming and a stressful process. She is confident that she can eliminate much of the stress and worries that you may have and get top dollar for your home.

Rachna’s commitment to you is clear: I will keep you informed of the latest market trends, work with you to build a strategic plan, and you will be completely satisfied with the results.

Hire Rachna for her keen sense of the marketplace and expertise in marketing and negotiating. Also very important in listing your home is an in-depth analysis of comparable sales and current competition. Properties are selling at an average of 97% of listing price, therefore this research and determining the right price is crucial. Each property is unique and it is just as important to design a marketing strategy that is suited for your home and then aggressively implement that program. She will assist with all aspects of marketing from preparing your house to sell, to advertising in print – and on the internet.

When selling, you want the best price and most favorable terms. There are a myriad of marketing options and details that go into a sale, from the time you set the price to closing. When marketing your property, if it is properly prepared for showing, it will bring the best price, terms and ultimately sell in the shortest time frame.

Preparing Your House for Sale

The effort put into repairing and cleaning your property is likely to be returned in a fast sale at an attractive price. As buyers approach your property the first time, impressions are formed quickly. Often, while waiting to be let in, the first thing a buyer looks at closely is the front door. Buyers also take a close look at the basement of a home. They will look for bad wiring, leaky pipes and signs of decay. The kitchen is often the most important room in the house. Make it bright and attractive. Put a vase of fresh flowers on the dining room table. It is just as important that bathrooms are also clean, bright and smell fresh. Ensure that there is plenty of lighting in every room.

Before Your House Is Shown

The goal in getting your home ready to be shown is to make it look as spacious and inviting as possible. Some of the things you can do to get you home ready is open shades and curtains to let in light, tidy all the rooms, keep toys in the children’s rooms, put away items in the yard such as bicycles, gardening tools and skateboards, clean dirty dishes in the sink and put away dishes on the counter. Another important aspect of showing your home is lighting. At night turn on the porch light and other outdoor lighting, turn on enough lights inside so that the home is well-lit during the showing and in the fall or winter light a fire in the fireplace. You will also want to tag or remove items not included in the sale such as chandeliers, plants and drapes.

Showing Your Home

Once your home is ready to show, Rachna will begin marketing it to potential buyers and other sales associates. If possible, leave the home when buyers are present so they feel comfortable asking their agent candid questions.
