So you have a home in Wichita and you’re planning on selling it. What should you do? How should you go about it? The following are tips that will help you sell your Wichita home now:
1. Do it NOW – Are you waiting for the economy to get better? Are you thinking that it would be better to sit out the market? Well, that’s not a wise move. Don’t be one of the timid sellers out there. Just go out and offer your house for sale. NOW.
2. Fix your house – Remember that fixer uppers are no longer attractive. You have to fix your place to make it easier to sell. You don’t have to do a big renovation. New paint and fixing obvious cosmetic issues will be enough. Moving your things to storage is also important. Buyers will be more willing to make an offer if your own things are not cluttered all over the place.
3. Don’t overprice it – Overpricing lengthens marketing time, and invariably results in a lower selling price than would have been otherwise obtained.
4. Hire a qualified Realtor. We can help you find someone that will market your home and recommend a fair asking price.
5. Take the first reasonable offer – Again, do not wait around. There are other Wichita homes that the buyer might like. If you already have a reasonable offer, accept it. It’s okay to negotiate but you have to remember that your house is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay.
