BEWARE: There's More to Selling Your Home than Hammering a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard.  Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, are you ready for these questions? "How does your home compare to others like it in the Kansas City area?" "How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" "What about financing? Can you help?" "If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" "Why aren't you using a REALTOR®? Is there something wrong with the property?" "Since you aren't using a REALTOR®, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? Most homes are sold using a REALTOR®. As top real estate professionals, it is the job of Kansas City Real Estate to help you: - negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing; - prepare your home for sale; - market it locally and nationally; - guide you through the complex paperwork; and - help you avoid the pitfalls of escrow and closing. Are you ready to tackle all of this? Errors can be extremely costly. While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it can sound like something completely different to buyers: "Try to steal this one." But if you find yourself in a position where you feel you must sell your home yourself, at least give Kansas City Real Estate an opportunity to help you determine the fair market value. Tell us a bit about your home and we'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to let you know what it's worth. We'll also describe how we, as experienced, top Kansas City-are REALTORS®, would market your property. Don't price your home yourself! Let Kansas City Real Estate perform a FREE, NO OBLIGATION Comparative Market Analysis to determine the true value of your property.
Closing or Settlement >The Inspection Before Closing
Home buyers will have an opportunity to walk through the house they purchased just before the closing to make sure it is in the same condition as when the contract was ratified. They will check the appliances and make sure that the agreed-upon repairs were completed.
Buyers usually see their new home empty for the first time just after the movers have left. Suddenly they see the dark rectangles and nail holes where pictures used to hang, and all the "dust bunnies" that were concealed by furniture. The contract calls for the house to be "broom clean" and free of trash and debris. However, real estate agents encourage sellers to leave their homes impeccably clean for the pre-closing walk-through inspection, and many homes are turned over in spotless condition.
Sometimes the seller's hectic moving schedule, fatigue, or unequal housekeeping standards require the buyers to clean the house thoroughly before they feel that they can move in. If you are afraid that a messy house could trigger problems at the closing, be sure to make your house shine for this important inspection.
