As a seller, you have no control over some things that homebuyers factor into their purchase decisions. Location comes to mind. You can't do much about the quality of schools in your area or the nearby shopping options. My first house had no attic.
On the other hand, there are many things you can do to make your property more attractive to buyers. You could take care of long-needed repairs. You could tackle a remodeling project or spruce up your landscaping. You could "stage" your home to increase its appeal. And then there's the biggie … you have control over the
asking price.
These decisions and others will affect how long your home is on the market and how much you sell for. The key is to figure out which changes will be most successful in helping you meet your goals.
As a Texas REALTOR®, I can help you understand what actions will make the biggest difference to buyers. Once you know more about these factors, you can make good decisions about how to proceed with the sale of your house.
