Tips to sell your Crossville, Tennessee and Cumberland County home.
Crossville, TN is still one of the top places to relocate, invest and retire in the country. Over 63 homes sold in Crossville during July 2008 alone. Your home did not sell? Don't be too discouraged this happens sometimes.
At least 83% of buyers find their homes online. (Can you find your home with an online search for your area?) The media may paint a bad picture of real estate today - real estate sales in Cumberland County are still on the rise. The way of marketing real estate has changed!
1. Hire a Licensed Tennessee Realtor with a large online presence! (How easy is it to find your home while doing a local and national online search?)
2. Hire a "Technology" Realtor. (Do you have blogs, websites, search engines, tags, meta tags - leading to your listing for the online home buyer to find?)
3. Is your home priced right? (Your Realtor should provide updated comps of the market for your home and area)
4. Do not reduce the price of your home! It should be priced right the first time! (Placing "reduced" on your listing looks desperate.)
5. Time to start cleaning. (Where is MR CLEAN when we need him?)
6. Clutter, clutter, clutter. All those trinkets, art work and frig magnets may be appealing to you and me but to the home buyer it can spell (Clutter). (Everyone has different tastes...the best bet is to follow the Less is more rule)
7. I love color and my home is filled with bright painted walls. When it comes to the home buyer they should walk into your/their new home with views of Neutrals. (Have a weekend painting party) Do not list a painting allowance on the listing!
8. Keep your pets at bay. If you are unable have a friend or neighbor look after Fido while your home is being shown or take them along with you. (Most pets love car rides...at least mine do)
9. Curb appeal. Keep your lawn mowed and yard well maintained. (A couple pots of flowers or mums for the fall season will look great)
10. Follow these tips and you will have a much higher chance of selling your home in today's market. Feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions or a listing appointment.
