Ready to sell your CT HOME?

Ready to sell your CT HOME?  Make the process easier by selecting a CT REALTOR® who is dedicated to getting your home sold.  A CT REALTOR® will assist you by providing a Market Analysis for your home, making suggestions on changes, staging and preparation to help provide the best perceived value.  Choosing the right realtor is the first step to ensuring the investment in your home will pay off.  Hiring a professional CT REALTOR® should provide you with the services and experience that will allow you to focus on your move while the home sale is managed from the initial consultation to the closing and beyond.

What information to expect when you are interviewing a Realtor:

  • Complete a comparative market analysis that will compare your home’s value to that of your neighbors.
  • Compile a comprehensive plan detailing all the efforts we will employ to sell your home, including Internet and local media. (see additional information below)
  • Present your home to as many qualified buyers as possible getting your home maximum exposure.
  • Help you stage your home and generate curb appeal to ensure you get the highest price.

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home in the goal of every realtor!

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it’s staged appropriately. We have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

Closing Costs to Expect that will be calculated by your CT real estate attorney:

  • Broker’s commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5% to 7%.
  • Attorney fees
  • Local property transfer tax, county transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax . Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
  • Mortgage pay off
  • Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection usually associated with structure, health and safety.

When a house goes on the market, first impressions are extremely important. This is the HOT time for you to capture the buyers who are already in the market, ready willing and able to buy. Your home must show at it’s peak! And your home must be easy to show. They have seen the existing inventory and have rejected it, either the price was not right or it didn’t suit them. They have alerts set up with their agents and are anxious for new listings. This is the time you are most likely to experience excited buyers, eager for a fresh listing.

Neither the seller(s) nor the agent controls the market, which dictates what a buyer is willing to pay for a home, but what we CAN control is pricing it correctly and providing extensive and continual marketing. Some sellers might think that pricing it correctly is just the lazy agent’s answer to sell a house. If that were true, we wouldn’t devote the amount of resources we do to marketing properties.

If you want to SELL, you don’t want to be sitting on the market month after month. When our group lists a home a huge marketing plan goes into effect.  Our listings exposed and targeted to qualified buyers and agents so that they are perceived and sell sell for the highest value the market will bear. This is a proven strategy to get you the most for your home as well as the quickest time to close, price right and market aggressively.
