For many people, selling a home is one of the most important and personal decisions they will make. Not knowing where to start can be confusing and can sometimes lead to bad decisions, especially if you need to sell the home quickly. Seeking the aid of a real estate professional, although helpful, is now always enough. The first thing that should be answered is the most basic, the reason why you are selling your home. Once you have a firm grasp of that, then you can figure out what your main priorities are when you put your house on the market. There are three main things to consider when selling a home and they all have an influence on each other. Those things are timing, pricing, and convenience.
There is also the factor of convenience. A person who is relocating and has already moved out of town will potentially have an advantage over someone who works from home or has indoor pets. It may not be as convenient for the latter to have people parading in and out of the house all day, thus limiting the amount of buyers. A person who owns a vacant home will most likely want their realtor holding open houses and having the home viewed at any time. The convenience of showing your home or lack thereof, will influence how quickly it sells and for what price.
Timing, pricing, and convenience are the three most important things to consider when listing your home. Once you understand your reason for the sale, you will be able to establish which factor is most important to you. The more convenient it is for you to have people view your house, the quicker it may sell, unless, of course, it is priced below fair market value. That is just a more complex way of saying that these three factors have an effect on one another. Once you are aware of that, this important, personal decision may be a bit easier and less confusing.
