Seller’s guide

Selling a property in New York City means more than just putting up a For Sale Sign. Therefore, it is important that you consider working with a professional Realtor who will assist you in selling your property.

 

Please see below detailed information that is critical for you to review which will help guide you through the process of selling your house.

Unless you are seeking to attract only prospective buyers who are looking for a “fixer-upper” (which translates to a lower selling price), you’ll want to assess the wear and tear on your property and address them because that can lower your home’s appeal and sales value.

Search for the best Real Estate Agency in your area, and have a discussion with the broker about selling your home.

Setting the right price for your property is a delicate balancing act. If it is too high then your home might sit on the market for months, and possibly not sell at all. If it is priced too low you might miss the potential for a more lucrative outcome. So your Realtor will be able to evaluate the market and the neighbourhood and prepare a Comparable Analysis which will inform you of the price range for houses in and around that area. This will essentially help to guide you in selling the house for the right price.

In order to attract the right type of buyers you must have a detailed plan that will strategically prepare and price your home to attract serious, financially qualified buyers.  The Internet, mobile apps, and direct contact with a Real Estate Professional are the main sources of home information for researching buyers. Additionally, signs, open houses, newspaper ads are frequently used as well.

Buyers in general would like to see themselves living in that home space. So Staging, photography and showings are all great tools that can maximize the property’s appeal and boost the buyer’s impression.
