    Create a Great First Impression and Sell Your Home

    Staging your home for sale can make a superb first impression with potential buyers. Homes that are staged sell 17% faster than ordinary homes.   Staging is more than just painting the walls and decorating the house.   Get rid of clutter. Everywhere from the floors to the walls, the kitchen cupboards to the bathrooms should be clutter-free. Clutter is everything from family photos and collectables to piles of bills on your desk and school papers on the kitchen counter. Keeping your home neat and clutter-free makes it easier for you to show your house without a great deal of work before each potential buyer comes through. Also, to potential buyers, your home look like you have a great deal of storage since there is no clutter.   Keep your floors clean. Buyers want to see sparkling clean floors and stain free carpets. Have your carpeting shampooed before putting your house on the market.   Make your beds. Unmade beds can detract a potential buyer from seeing how large the bedroom is or how great the closet space is. Have your beds look comfy by using white or neutral and clean bedding.   Put a bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter or a vase of flowers on the dining room table. These small touches will make your home look welcoming.   Sellers working with the Dawn Nowak Team receive a FREE staging consultation from Dawn, who owned a home staging business for 10 years before becoming a realtor.

    Setting the Right Price: Why Enlisting a Realtor is Necessary for Selling Your Home?

             Selling your home can be both an emotional and financial journey, and pricing it correctly is a key factor in ensuring a successful sale. While it might be tempting to go it alone and set the price yourself, partnering with a knowledgeable Realtor can make a world of difference. In this blog post, we'll delve into the crucial considerations when determining the asking price for your home and explore the reasons why partnering with a realtor is crucial in this process.   1. Market Expertise: Pricing a home requires a deep understanding of the local real estate market. An experienced Realtor brings invaluable expertise and insights into current market conditions, trends, recent sales data, and neighborhood dynamics. They know their stuff, so they can nail down your home’s value, making sure it is priced just right to stand out and sell with the highest price and the least amount of hassle for you.   “They [The Dawn Nowak Team] also profoundly understood the housing market in our area, which allowed us to get an incredible deal that exceeded our expectations.” -Wendy LaShomb   2. Objective Perspective: Emotions often run high when selling a home, and it can be an obstacle when detaching sentiment from price decisions. A Realtor provides an unbiased position, evaluating your property based on market dynamics and buyer expectations rather than personal attachment from the initial meeting with unbiased recommendations for staging and pricing.

Realtors understand various pricing strategies, such as pricing at market value, pricing slightly below to attract multiple offers, or pricing higher with room for negotiation. They can tailor a strategy to your specific goals and market conditions.     4. Marketing Savvy: A Realtor's role extends beyond pricing; they are also skilled in marketing your property effectively to attract qualified buyers. From professional photography and staging to online listings and open houses, they employ various tactics to showcase your home's value and generate interest. It has proven a Realtor’s extensive marketing with the correct price for the current housing market yields the price for above a seller on their own. The house also sells faster. 5. Negotiation Skills: Negotiating the best deal is one of the most important aspects of selling your home. Realtors are skilled negotiators, adept at navigating offers, counteroffers, and potential compromises. Their experience ensures that you secure the best possible sale price in all different possible offer situations.   “I have no words to say about her responsiveness and negotiation skills. She is just brilliant and knows what she is doing. Without any exaggeration, she is the most skillful real estate professional around her. " - Yirga Woldeabezgi     6. Rules and Regulations: Selling a home involves complex legal and contractual aspects. Realtors ensure that all paperwork is handled accurately and in compliance with local regulations. They safeguard your interests throughout the transaction, providing peace of mind and avoiding costly mistakes.   7. The Gift of Time: Selling a home is a time-consuming process, from market research to negotiations and paperwork. Let an experienced Realtor handle all this for you. Partnering with a Realtor frees you from these responsibilities, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your life without the stress of managing the entire selling process.
