To-Do List

Curb Appeal Brighten Up Beware of Smells Repairs

First impressions have never been more important. Fresh mulch and a few flowers out front go a long way! Pressure wash the driveway or throw down a fresh new layer of gravel.

Anytime a buyer or vendor comes to your house you'll want to make sure the home looks light and bright Make sure all window coverings are open and all the lights are on. A Dark home feels small and uninviting.

Any overpowering smells (good or bad) should be kept to a minimum. Even items that may make a buyer "think" of a bad smell should be removed. ie- litter boxes, visiblle garbage cans, diaper pails, etc.

Even small repairs can cause a buyer to wonder "What else is wrong?" so be sure to fix any obvious concerns prior to listing.

Marketing

Using strategic audience selection and our social media reach, we can specifically target your advertisements to the buyers most likely to fall in love with your home By re-targeting these ads to the people who have already engaged, we make sure your home is always top of mind to buyer who are ready to make a move.

Professional Photography

A photo is worth a thousand words. In this case... hundreds of thousands or more. The photos buyers see online are truly their first impression of your home and what drives buyers in for showings.

Home Audit & Staging

We start with an audit to remove items from the home that make it feel too personal or cluttered and offer staging to help buyers be able to envision themselves in the home. Homes with professional staging sell for an average of 7-12% more than empty homes

Beautiful Campaigns

Our marketing campaigns showcase your home's beauty both online and in print buyers will envision themselves living in your home and enjoying the lifestyle your home provides.

FrequentlyAskedQuestions

What makes Homestead Different?

We truly care about your goals and realize this is more than just a sale to you We treat each transaction like its our own and work tirelessly to ensure the best outcome for you.

We study the market in depth and use strategic planning to suit your individual needs. We do the research so that we can help you make educated decisions about your sale By going above and beyond If there is something that needs to be done... we do it.

What are my expenses as a seller?

As a seller, you will be responsible for paying excise tax, listing fees, your half of title and escrow costs and miscellaneous recording fees. Your agent can provide you with an estimated net proceeds sheet so you can anticipate how much you will walk away with on closing day.

What repairs should I do?

You aren't expected to fix every single defect (cosmetic or otherwise) We realize even brand new homes are imperfect. However, there are a few main concerns you should address if you are in the position to do so. If your roof is nearing the end of its life or leaking, you will need to fix it now or be prepared to offer a significant concession to a potential buyer. If there are foundation issues you should also address these now Other concerns such as pest issues, mold, broken windows or doors should also be handled prior to listing, if possible.

Do I need to clean?

A well polished home will appeal to more buyers and will sell faster and for a higher price. Buyers feel more comfortable purchasing a home that is well maintained and a clean home helps to solidify a buyer that the home is well kept

What should I work on first?

Box up anything that personalizes your home (family photos, kids drawings, etc ) The goal is to allow buyers to imagine themselves living in your home.

The less you have in your home the larger it will appear and the more buyers can imagine where their things can go.

What upgrades should I do before listing?

Not all upgrades are equal or will make you money!

Statistically there are areas of your home that you can upgrade or "polish" that will give you the most return. Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes and are a great place to start Updating cabinets and countertops can completely change the overall feel of a home. Fresh paint and carpet can also add a lot of value and help maximize profits Your agent can guide you in which areas are best to invest in and if it makes sense to do so.
