Marketing Materials
When it comes to selling your home, you are an invaluable resource to your real estate sales representative. What can you do to help? Provide the following materials to help market and sell your property.
- Photographs. They can help your real estate sales representative show your property off in a light buyers may not get to literally experience. For instance, a house dweller selling in winter would be smart to provide quality photos of their property in summer; a condo owner whose unit will be vacant while on the market could take snaps of it while it's (fabulously) furnished.
- Your own "spec sheet." Include upgrades, like granite countertops and hardwood flooring; any chattels and fixtures you're willing to include in the sale; and what you've loved about living there, from the daycare so close you can walk to it, to that delizioso Italian bistro down the street. Such information is very valuable to your real estate sales representative.
- Warranties. Gather together any paperwork you have concerning warranties that are still valid for any of the appliances that will be included in the sale, as well as any warranties covering the materials and workmanship for any work you've had done on your home.
- Inspection report. Some sellers have pre-listing inspections performed on their properties — doing so lets buyers know homeowners are serious about selling, and confident about their home's condition. If you've had an inspection done, be sure your real estate sales representative gets a copy of the report. If you haven't had an inspection, talk to your real estate sales representative about whether it would be beneficial to do so in your particular case.
