faster. Most importantly, find an agent who will work on your behalf. Ask friends and family for references of agents they’ ve used in the past. Look up their current listings to see if they align with the type of home you want to buy or sell. This will also indicate their knowledge of the market.
7 BUYING / SELLING: Get a second opinion.
When you have lived in your home for years, it’ s easy to overlook problems that potential buyers may spot right away. Have a relative or trusted friend come over to spot any small fixes that you can make prior to putting your home on the market to make sure it’ s in optimal condition prior to selling. When considering buying a home, it’ s also helpful to have someone who is not buying the home go with you to take a look. He / she will be able to point out potential issues that you may not see when trying to make such an important decision.
8 SELLING: Ignore the housing market.
Don’ t waste your time watching the housing market for the best time to sell. According to Investopedia,“ it doesn’ t matter what your home is worth at any given moment except the moment when you sell it. Being able to choose when you sell your home, rather than being forced to sell it due to job relocation or financial distress, will be the biggest determinant of whether you will see a solid profit from your investment.”
