CJ Clements Real Estate

The first thing to know is you’re not alone: 71% of buyers are also, simultaneously, sellers. The key to success on both ends of the deal is having a realtor to guide you through:⁣
-Prepping & pricing your current home⁣
-Market assessment for your current and prospective home⁣
-Offers and contingencies clauses⁣
-Financing options and lender referrals
-Securing short-term housing if needed⁣
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, the best thing to do is to talk to a pro!

Here are 3 common mistakes sellers make, and how to avoid them:
1. Pricing too high - the key to getting the best price and terms for your property is to price accurately.
2. Not prepping your home to sell - you will net the most money by preparing and staging your home to showcase it in the best possible light.
3. Hiring the wrong agent - who you work with matters! Hiring an agent that has your best interests in mind should be a top priority of your journey.

An appraisal gap doesn't mean you have to cancel the sale, but it may mean you have to negotiate with the seller or pay the difference for the home out of pocket. Make sure you have an agent that can help you negotiate these situations. Contact me today!
