Identify your motivation for selling

Address what you need and would like to get out of your home sale

It is a good idea to know exactly the current status of the finances wrapped into your current home. If you are paying off a mortgage it is a good plan to call up your loan servicer and discuss the remaining mortgage balance on your home. It is also good to know what your tax liability would be when you sell your home. As well as the possible cost of getting your home ready to list on the market.

In addition, you want to make a list of what you are looking for in an offer on your home. What are the non-negotiable deal breakers that would cause you to walk away from an offer made on your home? What is the minimum sales price you will accept for your home?

Commit to a representation strategy

The best way to sell a home anywhere is with professional real estate help from a knowledgeable experienced and trustworthy local realtor. Research has shown time and time again that homes that are sold with the help of an experienced and trustworthy realtor sell for a higher price and at a quicker pace. A realtor can help you to market your home to the correct audience and get it sold with less headache.

You want to make sure that you interview any Maui realtors before signing a contract with them. Ask them plenty of questions about their selling strategy and about how well they know the community that your home is in and what type of buyer they would direct most of their focus in marketing your home. Also, ask them for references of past clients that they have sold homes. Ask them about homes they have sold like yours in the last couple of years.

Prepare the home to be show ready

The specific steps you will need to take to prepare your home to be listed on the MLS and be ready for in-person showings will depend upon your particular property. A trusted real estate agent can be very helpful in deciding exactly what steps you should take to get your home in the best condition so it will show in its best light when potential buyers come to look at it.

Some homeowners may not be able to complete all of the items that might be ideal for showing their home whether it be because of available funds, available time, or physical ability. This is where a realtor can be of help to decide your best plan of action for getting your home ready to list on the market.

Carefully set the right listing price

Now more than ever it is very important for anyone selling their home to set the right listing price. This means making sure that you are within fair market value on your asking price when you list your home for sale. There are many reasons why making sure that you are listing your home for fair market value is essential to selling your home in a timely manner and receiving an offer as close to your asking price.

A real estate agent can help you to find what the fair market value of your home is and what the best price to list your home for would be. Having a home priced too high will have buyers moving on to the next comparable home and a price that is too low will have buyers asking what is wrong with the property.
