5 Keys To Selling Your Home
1. Make home improvements to maximize your home's value. A fresh coat of paint, new countertops, new carpet or hardwood flooring can make a huge impact.

2. Price Your Home Competitively. Buyers are looking for value. Buyers spend an average of 6 months looking online before seeing a home in person. Buyers comparison shop extensively before making an offer. Stand out from your competitors by pricing your home right and your home will be the one to receive the offers.
3. Make your home a "Showcase Home" on REALTOR.com®.
Showcase Homes get more exposure than standard listings. 86% of online buyers look for homes on REALTOR.com®.
4. Virtual Tour: (click here for a sample tour).
According to research, a Virtual Tour is in the top 3 of requested items for online listings. Don't have Buyers skip over your home because there is no Virtual Tour.
5.
Fast response to Buyer questions is critical. This is where having the right agent is very important. Studies show that online Buyers want a response to the requests for information within 1 hour. Those studies show that agents typically take 24 - 48 hours to respond to online buyers because they are not at a computer when the online lead comes in. The result is the buyer loses interest and the seller's home showing opportunity is lost.
To overcome this obstacle use an agent that employs technology like LeadRouter and Blackberry. LeadRouter routes web site inquiries from real estate sites including REALTOR.com®, AOL, and MSN directly to an agent’s phone. Blackberry and similar cell phone technology give agents instant access to email. An agent with LeadRouter and Blackberry will receive online buyer inquiries immediately and be able to respond via email instantly.
