Successful Home-Sellers' Habits

7 Habits All Successful Home Sellers Have in Common

What’s the secret of selling your home fast, and for top dollar? 

Keeping your house looking fantastic, of course! To achieve that, most successful home sellers have certain key habits in common, whether it's clearing out their mail pile every day or doing a monthly deep clean. 
So if you've resolved to sell your home this year, here are the best habits you can adapt to proactively maintain your home all the way to a successful sale. 

Tidy up

When your home is on the market, it's best to always have it “show-ready,” which means in tiptop shape, since buyers love an impeccably clean house. The best way to declutter your home is by getting a storage unit while your house is on the market. 

The daily checklist will help you get into the habit of making sure beds are made, clutter is put away, countertops are wiped down, blinds are left open, and fliers are left on the table. 

Respond to offers

Successful sellers are in the habit of responding to offers quickly. "Buyers get antsy when their offer isn't responded to and begin to doubt it because so much of real estate is emotional." Prepare yourself by figuring out in advance what you will and won't accept. This includes the lowest offer you will take and what contingencies you'll allow. 

Weekly: Do a deep clean inside and out

Pick a day each week to do a deep clean of your home, to keep the daily maintenance to a minimum. If you have a pet, this might include a weekly refreshing of carpets and upholstery that may harbor unpleasant smells. 

Purge your closets and cabinets

 "Closet and storage space is extremely important to buyers, and a seller needs to make them look as spacious as possible." Getting into the habit of eliminating clutter will make it easier for you to keep your closets show-ready. 

Maintain your exterior

Establish the routine of ensuring your home's stellar appearance by replacing outdoor light bulbs and cleaning the front porch. Freshen up exterior paint, get a professional window-cleaning and plant new landscaping if needed. "Most buyers fall in love with a house before they even enter" so this area is especially important to maintain on a regular basis.

Monthly: Review with your real estate agent

Even though you'll regularly be in touch with your real estate professional on the progress of your home sale, get in the habit of having a monthly review. You'll want a breakdown of the activity going on in your neighborhood and on your property in particular. This will keep you alert to anything that needs to be adjusted, such as changing the price or marketing if you aren't seeing the results that you would like. 

Annually: Make sure your home is in good repair 

Once you know a sale is in your future, it's time to get a presale home inspection so you can get in the habit of keeping your property in shape until you list it. An inspection will allow you time to make any major repairs, meaning that you'll be able to keep the negotiation power on your side instead of the buyers.

All these habits add up to one thing: demonstrating pride of ownership. After all, you only get one chance to make a first impression.
