5 Tips In Selling Your Nashville Home by Spring

Spring might be an even livelier home-selling season in 2016 because homebuyers want to act before interest rates or home prices rise. Even so, buyers insist on good deals. When it comes to selling your Nashville home, The Burnett Real Estate Group can help in getting you focused and prepared in selling your home fast and at a great price. 

Buyers typically decide within 60 seconds of seeing a home whether they want to consider buying it. So here are 5 tips to consider in getting your home in tip top shape by the spring market. 

-Pay attention to curb appeal

Trimming trees and bushes so buyers can see your home, pressure-washing the driveway, front walk, house and patio. Also cleaning and painting the front door because buyers may linger at the door while they wait for the agent to open the lockbox. Adding colorful flowers to sell your home this spring and cleaning the windows so they sparkle inside and out. We also suggest putting down mulch at least a few days before an open house so the smell fades before prospective buyers arrive. 

-Pare down possessions

You will want to go through all your furniture and closets with a discerning eye to eliminate clutter. You will want to make the closets and rooms look bigger so eliminating clutter is a must! 

-Do re-inspection repairs

If you know a home inspector is going to find something wrong with your home, then go ahead and fix it. It makes more sense to do the repairs ahead of time rather than wait for a buyer to request it. Buyers may end up asking you to spend $300 on what should cost $100 just to make sure it's done right. 

-Price it right

Even though prices are rising in some areas, you need to be reasonable and compare your home to similar properties that have recently sold. Buyer’s today are savvy, if you price too low they will think something is wrong with your home. If you price it too high and have to lower your price, it will hurt you more than if you price it right the first time. Overpriced homes that stay on the market for 90 to 120 days are extremely difficult to sell. 

-Hire a marketing magician

The majority of buyers start their home search online. More buyers are using mobile phones and tablets to search for homes, so marketing materials should be easy to navigate from those devices, too.

The Burnett Real Estate Group starts marketing the moment we have a signed listing agreement and contacting other Realtors and neighbors to let them know the home will be coming on the market. We blast out through our website, different marketing materials, press releases, and all social media channels.
