Selling a home in Vancouver can be a complicated task, but with the right information and expert assistance, Realty Executives can make your dream a reality!

After reading the following information, you will understand the process of selling a home in SW WA.

1.  The first part of preparation is pricing your home correctly. This is THE biggest factors contributing to home sales in our area, and the one that can cause a home not to sell. Most sellers will focus on price rather than condition, which often leads to an overpriced home. Even if you find a buyer, they will need to have an appraisal done on the home before it is sold. This will most likely end up with the lender rejecting the loan. 95% of the marketing is pricing and the other 5% is the agent's marketing of your home.

2.  Pre-listing home inspections can be a good choice if you are unsure or just do not know about problems that might be found during the inspection period of the contract.  The potential buyers can request these to be repaired before the close of the sale.  This could be avoided by stating the problem is “as is” in the contract.

3.  Know current financing options to check out the stability of your buyers and their offers.  Develop a marketing strategy to sell your home on the WA market or hire a real estate agent to market your home for you. Get familiar with current WA real estate contracts to understand the legal issues of sales contracts as they come in.  If you are not working with an agent, understand what is involved in closing costs so there are no surprises in your final payout.
