Early planning can transform your home sale into a lucrative deal.
Today’s message is dedicated to sellers contemplating entering the housing market in the next one to two years, or even further out. The essence of selling a home isn’t merely in deciding to sell; it’s about preparing to present the best product to the market. This preparation, which involves both time and financial investment, is crucial for fetching the highest and best price for your property.
Why discuss selling strategies so far in advance? The answer lies in the benefits of thorough preparation. Many sellers approach us with a pressing need to sell quickly, often missing the opportunity to maximize their home’s value. Addressing this, we advocate for early engagement, highlighting three key advantages:
1. Ample preparation time. Transitioning an average home into a sale-ready property requires detailed planning. Our RMG five-point audit helps identify necessary improvements, secure quotes, and execute the work. Starting 12 to 24 months in advance allows for meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the highest quality presentation.
“The message is clear: the best time to start planning is now.”
2. Control over timing. While the goal might be to sell in a year or eighteen months, unforeseen circumstances can accelerate this timeline. Early preparation places you firmly in control, ready to capitalize on the market at a moment’s notice, even if plans change unexpectedly.
3. Certainty and confidence. Selling your home is likely one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll make. Initiating the process well ahead of your intended timeline fosters a sense of certainty and confidence, making the transaction smoother and more efficient.
For those considering a future sale, the message is clear: the best time to start planning is now. Engaging with a real estate professional early on not only prepares your property for the market but also equips you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate one of life’s major financial milestones.
