_____________Sellers Tips and Resources
What we Can Do for You
Help you set the listing price
-Starting with a good price is the
first
step for a successful sale. We can
help determine
the asking price by looking at comparable
homes in the area.
Make suggestions on repairs and renovations
-We know what buyers look for when
they tour
a home. An agent can turn an objective
eye
on your home and tell you what problems
stick
out and what changes you should consider
making.
Screen Potential Buyers
-We can help screen buyers to help
determine
which buyers are really interested.

Help qualify buyers
-You want buyers who are really looking
for
a home, and you also want buyers who
can
afford your home. We can financially
prequalify
the buyers to be sure they can afford
your
home.
Market the home
-We will add your home information
to the
Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a computerized
collection of all listed homes. Other
agents
use this service to find matches to
their
buyers.
Handle negotiations
-We are adept at negotiations and can
keep
the deal alive. We have the resources
to
show the buyer the true market value
of your
home.
Oversee the closing process
-We will help you manage the final
hurdles
up to and including the closing. We
can also
help spot any red flags and resolve
any glitches
that pop up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should You Remodel?
Don't get carried away
-The most cost-effective improvements
are
to the kitchen or bathroom. For instance,
if you convert a one-bathroom home
into a
one-and-a-half bathroom home, you'll
expand
your market of possible buyers. It's
better
to leave the extensive remodeling to
the
buyer.
-Be sure to "undecorate" your home.
You want the buyer to focus on the home,
not on the way you've decorated it. Remember,
you aren't striving for a home that looks
lived in, but one that looks ready to be
lived in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cleaning Up
Hire professional cleaners to do the
initial,
thorough scrubdown.
-Cleaning your home in preparation
for selling
it is an ongoing process. This will
ensure
that the home is in tip-top condition.
If
a home looks well-kept and clean, buyers
are more apt to think it also has been
well-maintained.
What repairs should you make?
-As you review the repairs on your
list,
first decide which ones really need
to be
made. If you notice, for instance,
that the
roof needs to be repaired, you can
choose
to have it repaired and pay for the
new roof.
Or you may note that the roof needs
to be
repaired and then price the home accordingly.
You should submit this estimate with
your
disclosure statement. This way, the
buyers
will know that you are being up front
about
the problem if you acknowledge it right
away
instead of later when the problem turns
up
during inspection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collecting Information
(the buyer will be interested not only
in
how the home looks, but also in the
maintenance
and upkeep of the home.) Collect the
following
information:
Property tax statements
Utility bills
Warranties
Maintenance information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do You Have to Disclose Information
To The
Buyer?
Depends on where you live
-Since 1984, most states have passed laws
requiring the seller to tell the buyer about
any substantial defects that the seller knows
about. If disclosure is required, you should
do so before the buyer makes an offer.
We'll provide a seller(s) disclosure form
that conforms to MO Law.
-Basically, you must disclose any physical
effects that would change the buyer's
assessment
of the property value. What about stigmatized
properties? If the home is believed
to be
haunted or someone has been murdered
on the
property, whether you have to tell
the buyer
or not depends on the state.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Closing
(The closing may be held at the title
company,
attorney's office, escrow company,
lending
institution, or county courthouse,
depending
on local custom).
What the Buyer Has to Do
-Most of the preclosing work falls
to the
buyers. The buyers usually have to
obtain
financing, get insurance, and meet
any other
requirements of the lender. The buyers
will
also schedule a home inspection sometime
before closing.
What You Have to Do
-There are a few important things that
you
will need to do at closing. Usually
a termite
inspection will be required. Most lenders
will not approve the loan unless this
inspection
has been done.
-You may also need to have a title
search
done on the home. This is a search
of the
ownership history of the home, and
will uncover
any outstanding claims against the
property.
-An escrow agent, title agent or attorney
will need to be hired to help handle the
closing. They will make sure that all documents
are signed and that everything is in order
for the sale to happen. We will be able to
recommend someone to you.
