How stressful is selling your home? There are many reasons why selling your home is overwhelming. As a Realtor in Vermont I was overwhelmed with selling a family house out-of-state. The lack of familiarity with the process, the pricing, and the current buyer preferences in the area were all a mystery to me. After choosing a top agent who is a local expert in the area I realized that her job was to alleviate my stress and anxiety and guide me through the process. Let’s explore the major issues that cause anxiety and how we can help alleviate some of your fear and worries.
Here are the top 3 questions that we answer:
1. What do I have to do to my house to get it on the market? It depends. We need to visit your house to see what projects, repairs, updates, etc. would benefit you most with today’s buyers. It’s a good idea to have a budget set aside for these items and we will prioritize your “to do” list.
2. Will I be able to move by a date of my choosing? Most likely, yes. We are experts at getting you out and moving to your next destination in the time frame that works for you. Let us know your plans and we will work with your schedule.
3. How do showings work? With us, we schedule the showings with your lifestyle in mind. If you need to work at home certain days we will schedule around your meetings and work schedule. To minimize the stress of having your house “show ready” all the time we make sure you have enough time to prepare for buyers.
These are just some of the questions that we answer early in the process of selling your home. Make sure you choose a Realtor that has experience to lead you through the entire process, from prepping your house for sale to guiding you through the inspection and closing.
