Posted by kwmc139blog under Everybody, For Sellers, Listings, Mission
According to an article posted on Trulia in June, 2011 by Carl Medford, the following steps will help you best be prepared for an offer on your home:
1. Have maximum information available – Information sells, and whether it comes in the form of pictures, well written descriptions, highlighted amenities and so on, the more that™s provided the better
2. Provide maximum access to information – Buyers desire as much information as possible. And they want to access that information BEFORE they actually visit
3. Provide maximum preparation of information- No one likes surprises, the more info provided upfront the higher the chance that a well-written, œinformed offers.
4. Provide maximum distribution of information- Make sure all parties have maximum access to all documentation from the very beginning.
5. Provide maximum property preparation – Once an offer is accepted, you can assume appraisers and inspectors will begin to appear so be prepared fo them by :
¢ Removing everything from underneath all sinks.
¢ Locating the access to crawl spaces and the attic “ ensure that they are not blocked in any way. Make sure they are unlocked if applicable.
¢ Remove any items stored in crawl spaces, attics and/or garages that might prevent full visual inspection. Storing items in the garage? Make sure inspectors have full access to the entire inside perimeter.
When inspectors are unable to easily access key areas, they write œUnable to inspect “ further inspection required on inspection reports. In most cases, if there™s a re-inspection fee, sellers will be expected to cover the cost. It slows down escrows, affects contingency removal and increases frustration while waiting for re-inspections to be performed.
Who can best provide all of these services? An experience licensed real estate agent. For a list of agents at Keller Williams Realty in Overland Park, visit www.kwoverlandpark.com
