How Do You Begin?
- Whether it’s a primary or secondary home or an investment property, you can streamline the purchase process by compiling your own personal wish list of important features you want in the property and rank the items for importance
- Next, review your financial affairs, monthly budget, and credit rating
- Unless you intend to pay cash for your property, you will need to get pre-qualified for a loan by a reputable lender so that you will know how much you can afford. Janet can help you with the pre-qualification process!
Thinking About Selling?
Selling a property is one of the most important things you will ever do. Janet wants to make sure that experience is as smooth and successful as possible. Her expertise in the Panama City Beach area and the surrounding areas will help ensure that you get the best price for your property. Janet’s marketing program, combined with Counts Real Estate Group, Inc.’s number one position in the Bay County area and its extensive marketing program, will make sure the right people see your property. In addition, Janet can help you state your home and generate curb appeal of your home or property (at no cost to you) to ensure you get the highest price. Three keys to selling at the best price and as quickly as possible:
Price Your Property To Sell
- A property must be priced correctly in order to sell
- A comparative market analysis that will compare your property’s value to like properties that have recently sold will help to determine the true market value of your property
Create Curb and Inside Appeal
- Curb appeal is key and determines whether people stop, take a flyer and schedule an appointment to see your home, or whether they drive right on by
- If you are selling your condo, a first impression or inside appeal, is also key to whether a buyer wants to take the time to fully appreciate your unit, or whether they rush out the door
- Generate curb and inside appeal to ensure you get the highest price for your property
Staging Your Property To Sell
Staging your property to sell is important and creates either outside or inside appeal or both. Staging is simply presenting your property in its best and most appealing light. It’s not difficult and doesn’t cost a lot. Here are a few curb appeal and home staging tips:
- Plant flowers, trim bushes, week, pick up leaves, repaint your front door, replace house numbers or a shabby mailbox, get a new neutral doormat
- Clean. Make your property sparkle!
- Fix. Make repairs before putting your property on the market.
- Eliminate Clutter. This is the most important tip—remove clutter from counter tops, table tops, closets and floors.
- De-personalize. Remove family and personal pictures, political and religious items because buyers concentrate on these items instead of looking at your property!
