Three Mistakes Not to Make When Selling Your Home

When you make the decision to sell your house, there will be no shortage of people and professionals willing to help you and give you advice. Take it. There are any number of ways you can bungle the sale of your home, but here are the top three for your review.

Limited online information
Any realtor you choose, and even if you decide to sell the house yourself, will offer you the option of putting the listing online. When you are in the process of listing your home for sale online, remember to include plenty of good, clear, complimentary photos of both the interior and exterior, and provide as much information as possible about not only the house itself, but the surrounding community as well.

Bad photos
There is no other single factor more important than the photos you choose to list your home for sale. These pictures will either catch the eye of potential buyers or turn them away without even considering your price tag. A super eye-catching picture of your home from every aspect, both interior and exterior are the surest ways to get people looking. In some instances, the photo can sell the house before its even seen in person. Remember the old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, it never applies more than when selling your house.

Lackluster description
If you aren’t excited about your house or happy to live in it, how can you expect anyone else to be? Choosing complimentary words to describe your home will convey that the house is a warm place to live and that you are happy living there. And be careful of catch-phrases designed to get buyers to look, or jump on your offer. If a house has been on the market for some time, a catch-phrase saying the house will sell fast just sounds silly. Every listing provides the number of beds and baths, instead choose to infuse the description of your house with personal touches and warm memories.

Smoke Detectors are Important When Selling or Buying a Home in MA or RI

Most homeowners have smoke detectors installed and they are fully operational. However, some homeowners disable them, in particular those near bathrooms and kitchens, due to the annoyance factor of having the smoke alarm go off every time they make toast.

According to Massachusetts and RI State Laws, all homes are inspected by a state fire Marshall prior to being sold to ensure that every smoke detector is in good and working order. If you are the agent responsible for showing and selling the home, or a homeowner selling your own home, you will need to make sure that all the smoke detectors are working before the Marshall arrives to inspect them, or you will run the risk of delaying the sale or closing until they can return to inspect the property again.

What Does a Closing Attorney Do At a Closing?

With so many Massachusetts and Rhode Island homeowners opting to sell their own property, and some at very good prices, what should a buyer of real estate know to make an informed choice?

First, you should never enter into any real estate transaction without the benefit of the advice of a good RI or MA real estate attorney. Real estate attorneys do much more than simply show up for the closing.

Many home owners, buyers and sellers alike, have no idea of the issues involved in closing on a piece of property. Title search issues alone can delay or negate closings and make finding the problem impossible to anyone that is not qualified in real estate matters. Taken together with the many municipal and state regulations, the final paperwork and closing documents necessary to legally transfer the property, setting up insurance on the property, making certain that there are no liens, and the remaining list of items before ownership can be transferred, it is definitely in everyone’s best interest to hire a closing attorney for any real estate transaction.

Home Source Realty Group of Massachusetts offers the services of a professional real estate attorney for every closing, free of charge.
