Are you Ready to Sell Your Home? How to Answer the Toughest Questions

Have you been wondering if you should sell your home? While for some the idea to sell is an easy decision, for others the decision is often difficult to make and one they aren’t sure is “right.” While there are multiple different scenarios that could play a huge role in your decision to sell your home and ultimately lead you to listing your house, there are a few things that play a large role in a homeowner’s choice to sell.

Are you Ready to Sell Your Home? How to Answer the Toughest QuestionsAre you in a Seller’s Market?

Naturally, when making the decision to sell, you want to ensure that you are going to be selling when it makes the most financial sense. By choosing to sell when the market is favoring seller’s, you are boosting your chances of selling your home for top dollar, generally at a faster rate, and often a less stressful sale, all of which can increase your profits and lead to a more enjoyable selling experience.

Do you Have Equity?

In some cases, you may be forced to sell due to facing a financial hardship, however, if you are simply struggling with the decision to sell your home, one key element that may help finalize your decision is the amount, if any, equity that you have in your home. Generally, those with higher equity are more likely to sell as it gives them more financial freedoms for their next home or adventure in life.

Are You Prepared for Moving Expenses?

Are you thinking of selling just to sell? There are a lot of moving pieces when it comes to selling your home, one of the biggest simply being where you will move to. Are you prepared to move? Mentally, physically, and of course, financially? Moving is expensive and can easily cost you thousands in little expenses that add up, so prior to making the decision to sell your home, it is vital that you look at the expenses you may be faced should you decide to sell your home and move somewhere new.

Can you Let go of Sentimental Attachment?

Often one of the hardest parts of selling your home is finding a way to let go of the sentimental attachments you’ve created. Whether it be a nursery where you brought your first child home, a kitchen where you spent holidays laughing with friends and family, etc. oftentimes letting go of the sentimental attachments are the hardest parts of deciding if you’re ready to move or not. If you’re thinking of selling, be sure to think long and hard to ensure that you’re ready to let go of your home before you commit to putting it on the market.

Selling your home is a huge decision, and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. If at any point you have doubts, make sure to communicate with your agent and be honest with any and all concerns that you may have so that your agent is able to either guide you through the process, or walk you through the steps to either list, or take your home off the market if necessary.

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
