Sell Your Tampa Home
Quickly and Easily
You can do it the slow and hard way, or
the quick and easy way. No one wants to do it the slow and hard way. If
you make sure that your home has good exposure , you'll get a bigger
draw from potential buyers. In addition, you'll need to make sure that
your home is priced competitively and is in good condition .
Setting the Price
You can't just make up a number out of thin air. You are going to need
some information to back up your asking price.
First, get an appraisal of your property.
This will be conducted by a certified appraiser. By looking at a number
of factors, the appraiser will determine your home's estimated value.
(See "What is a house worth?" for a more detailed description
of the appraisal process.)
Second, have a competitive market
analysis performed on your property. Your Tampa Realtor will estimate
the value of your home by comparing it to the value of similar homes in
the area.
These two services will help you
establish a reasonable asking price. You shouldn't stray too far away
from these estimates when setting the asking price. The market is in
constant motion. Keep your estimates current. Discuss it with your Tampa
Realtor before you make any changes on your homes asking price.
Determining the Condition
Before you show your home, it's smart to
repair any minor problems or aesthetic blemishes. You don't want to
discourage a potential buyer by having a structurally sound house that
looks a little shabby. Make sure you know as much about the property as
possible. Also, be aware of anything that the law requires you to
disclose to buyers
Getting Maximum Exposure
The Correct marketing plan will attract
most every buyer in the area looking for a home like yours. With poor
exposure the person looking for a house like yours may never see it.
Your Tampa Realtor can help spread
the word about your home. By hosting open houses, placing ads in various
media, and posting your home on the MLS, you home will be exposed to
many potential buyers. Inquire about any additional exposure ideas you
agent might have.
