Real Estate Tips from the Local Pros
“ The real estate market in northwest Pennsylvania continues to be strong , thanks to low interest rates and consumer confidence . With the low inventory of homes available to qualified buyers , now is a great time to think about selling your home and moving into that perfect home you ’ ve always dreamed of . Even though good homes sell quickly , too many sellers think selling a home is easy . STOP right there . This is possibly the most expensive and important thing you own , let a professional do the work for you , allowing you to live your life and probably end up with more money than you thought .
Selling your home properly means teaming up with a company that offers you the very best in marketing services , especially one able to reach out to the today ’ s technology-savvy buyers . Interview the managers . See what their entire office and company will do for you to get your home sold quickly . Interview two or three different companies and feel good about your decision . Ask the manager or broker about the type of training agents receive to be the best in their field . Get the home ready to sell . Fix the little things , freshen up the interior , making it neutral to the eye of the buyer . Do some extra yard work , giving the home that HGTV curb appeal that is so important to today ’ s buyer . Have a home inspector come in before the buyer does , to let you know what should be repaired . It will cost much less if you do it . Most important , think like a buyer . The buyer controls the market .”

“ The general rule in real estate is that buyers seek the least expensive home in the best neighborhood they can afford . In terms of improvements , this means you want a home that fits in the neighborhood but is not over-improved . For example , if most homes in your neighborhood have three bedrooms , two baths and 2,500 sq . ft . of finished space , a property with five bedrooms , more baths and far more space would likely be priced much higher and likely be more difficult to sell .
Improvements should be made so that the property shows well , is consistent with the neighborhood and does not involve capital investments , the cost of which cannot be recovered from the sale . Furthermore , improvements should reflect community preferences . Cosmetic improvements — paint , removing wallpaper and landscaping — help a home “ show ” better and often are good investments . Mechanical repairs — to ensure that all systems and appliances are in good working condition — are recommended to get a top price .”
