selling your home?

 
Getting Your Home Ready

Preparing you home for sale addresses two issues:

  • creates potential for a higher sales price
  • reduces the time needed to market your home

Preparation may involve just catching up on maintenance items around your property, or could extend to major improvements.  To make that decision,

THE PROJECTS
Percent cost recouped (national average)

Pg. Midrange Upscale
32 Kitchen remodel 67% 80%
34 Bathroom remodel 88% 91%
35 Master suite addition 75% 77%
36 Bathroom addition 94% 81%
37 Window replacement 74% 77%

For more information, the 2002 Cost vs. Value Report from the National Association of Realtors gives a regional view of which improvements return the highest value.

Remember that while improvements may not return 100% of their value in sales price, they may make your home more competitive in the market, and allow it to sell much faster. For instance, a bathroom addition puts your home in a different category, appealing to a larger segment of the market.

 

Use a Realtor!

Selling your home requires a great deal of research and the help of licensed professionals to make it happen...

  • in the shortest time
  • at the best price
  • with the fewest hassles.

Realtors find buyers for your property, and are licensed to advise property owners on the complex laws evolved from 300 years of property transfer in California.  Realtors protect your interests while your property is for sale, during the offer, and during the escrow process.

JScott Carpenter will be your eyes and ears in the marketplace, resulting in the best price for your property in the shortest time.  He knows what works, and what looks good on paper, but won't sell your home.

JScott can help you decide what projects will improve the value and salability of your property.  Will a new bathroom help you?  How much will a paint job help.  How will other homes-for-sale affect those buyers interested in my home?

Realtors find buyers through a network of contacts that are cultivated 365 days a year.  Few professionals work more tirelessly year-round to help people live better lives.  Most realtors spend their own money to advertise, post signs, take pictures, and produce marketing material for you.

All of these services are available at no charge unless your property is sold.  Isn't it too bad that your doctor doesn't work that way? 

Because of increased real estate litigation, realtors help to shelter your legal exposure by helping you document the condition and terms of your sale.  Realtors also carry insurance to protect the themselves and their clients from errors and omissions that can result in sale cancellations or civil damage awards.

For Sale By Owner

Using a realtor is not for everyone.   Today there are many services for the "For Sale By Owner" that provide portions of the professional realtor's services. 

A professional realtor provides these marketing services, plus the most important services of all - personal attention to your concerns, and many sources from which to locate the buyer who will pay the highest price.

If you have attempted to sell your home yourself, and are tired of wasted ads, no-shows, open houses, and low offers, JScott would be glad to review your options with no obligation.
