TOP 3 Seller Tips – Sell your home Charlotte NC

Top 3 Seller Tips – Sell your Charlotte home – Charlotte NC

Top Three Seller Tips for selling your Charlotte home!  Looking for free advice? Want to make sure you make the right decision?  You have found the right article to read.

Hello! I am Danielle Edwards, Charlotte real estate agent since 2006.  I have seen this area BOOM and worked my tail off and experienced the good, bad, and ugly of this business.

 

What do you need to know before selling your home?

Top 3 seller tips- Sell your Charlotte Home.

Looking to sell your Charlotte home? Here are my top 3 seller tips along with other KEY information you need to know before hiring a Realtor and selling your Charlotte home.  I know there are many real estate agents for you to choose from.  I found that not all Charlotte real estate agents are created equal.  There are part-time agents, full-time agents, stick a sign in the yard, or go-getters like me who strive to exceed what you think a Realtor should be doing.  I love the old saying, “you get what you pay for.”   There are agents that will discount their fee, and for that, you get a discount service.  There are Charlotte real estate agents like myself, who go above and beyond to ensure your home looks its best no matter the market.  Let me tell you a little secret, the prettier homes…. sell for more, sell faster, get stronger offers.. AND in today’s market, those offers are AS-IS and have appraisal waivers.  That means a better experience for you AND more money in your pocket at the closing table.  Which leads to glowing 5-star reviews and really happy clients!  I love happy clients!

Selling your home in a seller’s market is interesting. As a Charlotte real estate agent I am seeing a lot of  Charlotte listings where homeowners/agents might be cutting corners.  I am seeing horrible photos on Charlotte million-dollar listings, lack of details, and just poor representation.

Did you know 91% of buyers decide they want to see a home based on its online appearance?

(source NAR)

As a top Charlotte listing agent in Charlotte, NC – I do not recommend this.  I treat each listing whether it is $300,000 or over a million dollars the same.  If my name is on it, it is going to show its best.  Why? Because I have seen FIRST HAND the results of doing that.  Each time, I break community records and consistently have a record over surpassing the price per sqft or the percent over list price for that area.

Virtual Staging

Top 3 seller tips

Tip 1 to selling your home

You only get one shot to create the first impression to potential buyers. The better your Charlotte home presents itself the stronger the offers. Think of it as a beauty pageant. When a Charlotte buyer walks into your home their mind is like a cash register checking off all the things they need to do to the home to make it theirs or update it with improvements. Not only are aesthetics taken into account, so are things like the age of your roof, HVAC, windows etc. Your Charlotte listing agent (if it isn’t me) should be advising you at the bare minimum what you need to do to your Charlotte home to get the most return on your investment when it comes time to sell in Charlotte, NC.

You need to be asking questions like what is included with their representation-

  1. Professional Real Estate Staging
  2. Professional Real-estate Photography
  3. Measurements
  4. Admin Fees associated with working with them
  5. Ask for client real estate reviews
  6. Look up their Charlotte MLS listings

Charlotte Listing agent Danielle Edwards- TOP 3 tips selling your home

Of course, there are many other aspects that go into selling your Charlotte home. These to me are the top 3 must-do things that I see Charlotte homeowners skipping on thinking they don’t have to do anything since it is a seller’s market.

Tip 2: Pricing your home with actual comparable sales is also important.

Your listing agent should be preparing a CMA- comparative market analysis using comps and adding/ subtracting value based on updates those homes have.   Pricing a home with a pie-in-the-sky number often lead to longer days on market, and worse low ball offers.

I price my listing three different ways.  From that analysis, I discuss with my seller the return on investment they can expect if we make a few updates to maximize the higher number that the CMA shows.  I am consistently correct, and every time I knock it out of the park.

Tip 3: Know your home and be honest

What’s that saying? Honesty is the best policy.  I work with my clients on creating the most detailed list of everything they have done to a home.  When a buyer sees what you have done and more importantly what you are being HONEST about what is broken it gives them security when making their offer.  If you don’t want to fix outlets or windows, put it on the NC property disclosure which is a mandating form for sellers to provide to Charlotte homebuyers.

How to buy and sell your Charlotte home at the same time

Charlotte is one of the top 5 cities that people are relocating to. While many Charlotte homeowners want to sell, they are faced with the issue of where to go. This is a conversation I have often with homeowners.  I have solutions and answers for that which is also easier to discuss in person – naturally!  However, if you are not ready for that commitment here is a video I did on that!

 

Hiring an experienced seasoned Charlotte listing agent is going to ensure your greatest assets is represented as it should be.

I pride myself on going above and beyond with my Charlotte listings to maximize the return for my Charlotte homeowners.

I invite you to read my reviews to hear for yourself what my Charlotte homeowner clients have to say about their experience working with me to sell their home, buy a home, or do both at the same time!
