Thinking of Selling?

What to Consider when Selecting an Agent:

• A full-time agent who is familiar with current market trends in your area
• An agent who has a diverse range of marketing and merchandising strategies
• An agent who is on the cutting edge of all available technologies
• Prompt response and service
• Easily able to contact
• Availability on weekends or evenings
• Listens to your needs and goals
• An agent who is genuine in wanting your home to sell, not just to have another “listing”

Consider the Condition of your Home:

Outside-

• Does your house have curb appeal?
• Could your house use a new coat of paint?
• Does your house need a power-wash?
• If your house has a yard, is the lawn and landscaping attractive and well-kept?
• Are the windows and doors attractive and in good condition?
• Is the roof (and the gutters) in good condition?
• Are all outside toys put away (bikes, scooters, etc.)?

Inside-

• Is the entrance welcoming and inviting?
• Are the window treatments open for buyers to see natural light?
• Are the interior paints and finishes in good condition (recently updated), or do they need to be freshened up? For a minimal investment, you could possibly make or break a sale by having your home look well-kept and inviting.
• Are the appliances in good working order?
• Are the plumbing and electrical systems in good condition? Are they fully functional?
• Are the carpets or other floor coverings clean and in good condition? Like the paint, are they attractive and well-kept? Floor coverings are worth paying for so that your home makes a good impression.
• Are the sealants (sink, shower, tub, windows) in good condition?
• Are all light fixtures working properly, and is there good lighting in each room so that prospective buyers won’t think you’re hiding something?

Consider Your Responsibilities:

• Attorney’s fees
• New Jersey Transfer Taxes
• Cancellation of Mortgage
• Engineering and Insect damage repairs that may be required after the inspection
• Radon remediation may be required after inspection
• Obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy
