Ever wonder how much it costs to sell your home? I am often asked this question and there are many costs to consider. Your home is one of your largest assets, and you want to ensure you showcase it in the best light!
Here are some expenses you'll want to consider:
1) Professional Staging
Did you know well staged properties sell for approximately 6% per on average? Even if your decor is lovely, stagers will ensure the best aspects of your property are highlighted. How you live on a day to day basis may be the most functional, but may not appeal to the masses. Stagers will ensure your home is desirable to more people, translating into more offers! Staging can run you anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands depending on the scope of the project.
2) Professional Photography
It's no surprise that buyers start their home search online, and among a sea of listings, you want your home to stand out! The best way to do that is to price properly, and to showcase magazine quality photography to really capture their attention! You will also want to invest in 3D dollhouse tours, allowing prospective buyers to click through the home, and floorplans are essential! All of this will allow buyers to further envision themselves in your home and get them through the door. Your home needs to WOW people online. These services can run you around $500 into the thousands depending on the company and size of home.
3) Digital and Print Marketing
Finally, you need to get your home in front of as many people as possible! You can do this through targeted social media ads. I can pull a report outlining the average age, income, ethnicity, and spoken language for your particular area, and use the neighbourhood demographics to target those that are most likely to purchase your home through social media platforms and ads. Once buyers are in your home, don't forget to give them something to take home! Using gorgeous feature sheets and print outs you can ensure your property is not forgotten, and this level of professionalism will show buyers that you haven't cut any corners. It's easy to spend $500+ on these services.
You can do all of this, while coordinating showings, buyer feedback, and offer negotiations, or you can simply hire a realtor to do all of it, included in their fees. That's right, the same fee many other agents charge, except all of the above is covered by me and my team! Don't forget, as a seller you don't pay commissions until the property sells and closes. We take on all the risk, while you sit back and wait for the results. There is no catch, just a professional full service agent working hard for your bottom line.
