Everything You Need to Know to Sell Your Home! Dec. 2015 | Page 38

MYTH:
Empty homes are harder to sell than occupied homes.

TRUTH:
Vacant homes often sell faster for several reasons, but again it all
depends on condition. A vacant home that is clean, in good repair, and
priced fairly will sometimes sell fast because the rooms will appear larger
without furniture and clutter, buyers can easily visualize their furnishings in
the home, and most agents prefer to show vacant homes because they can go
anytime without worrying about making appointments, etc.

MYTH:
Pricing a home for sale is a mysterious process.

TRUTH:
Your home will sell for what the market will bear. To determine the
range of value for your home, it takes a solid knowledge of the market. And
because every home is unique, your home will sell more near the high or low
end of the range depending on its specific attributes like location and
condition. Kevin utilizes a computer database along with years of experience
to help you decide where to set the price. It is not simple, but it isn't
mysterious either.
