27 TIPS YOU SHOULD KNOW TO GET YOUR HOME SOLD FAST AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

Discover how to protect and capitalize on your most important investment.

Because your Lansdowne property may well be your largest asset, selling it is probably one of the most important decisions you will make in your life.

To better understand the home selling process, a guide has been prepared from current industry insider reports. Through these 27 tips, you will discover how to protect and capitalize on your most important investment, reduce stress, be in control of your situation, and make the most profit possible.

22. Deadlines Create a Serious Disadvantage

Do not try to sell by a certain date. This adds unnecessary pressure and is a serious disadvantage in negotiations.

23. A Low Offer - Do Not Take It Personally

Invariably, the initial offer is below what both you and the buyer know he will pay for your Lansdowne property.

Do not be upset, evaluate the offer objectively.

Ensure it spells out the offering price, sufficient deposit, amount of down payment, mortgage amount, a closing date and any special requests.

This can simply provide a starting point from which you can negotiate.

24. Turn That Low Offer Around

You can counter a low offer or even an offer that is just under your asking price.

This lets the buyer know that the first offer is not seen as being a serious one.

Now you will be negotiating only with buyers with serious offers.

25. Maybe the Buyer Is Not Qualified

If you feel an offer is inadequate, now is the time to make sure the buyer is qualified to carry the size of mortgage the deal requires.

Inquire how they arrived at their figure, and suggest they compare your price to the prices of homes for sale in your neighbourhood.

26. Ensure the Contract is Complete

To avoid problems, ensure that all terms, costs and responsibilities are spelled out in the contract of sale.

It should include such items as the date it was made, names of parties involved, address of the Lansdowne property being sold, purchase price, where deposit monies will be held, date for loan approval, date and place of closing, type of deed, including any contingencies that remain to be settled and what personal property is included (or not) in the sale.
