- Define your needs. Write down all the reasons for selling your Woodbridge VA home. Ask yourself, “Why do I want to sell my Woodbridge VA Home and what do I expect to accomplish with the sale?” For example, a growing family may prompt your need for a larger home, or a job opportunity in another city may necessitate a move. For your goals, write down if you’d like to sell your house within a certain time frame or make a particular profit margin. Work with a Woodbridge VA real estate agent to map out the best path to achieve your objectives and set a realistic time frame for the sale.
- Name your price. Your next objective should be to determine the best possible selling price for your Woodbridge VA house. Setting a fair asking price from the outset will generate the most activity. You will need to take into account the condition of your Woodbridge VA home, what comparable homes in your Woodbridge VA neighborhood are selling for, and state of the overall Woodbridge VA Real Estate market. It’s often difficult to remain unbiased when putting a price on your home, so your Woodbridge VA real estate agent’s expertise is invaluable at this step.
- Prepare your Woodbridge VA home. Most of us don’t keep our homes in “showroom” condition. We tend to overlook piles of boxes in the garage, broken porch lights, and doors or windows that stick. It’s time to break out of that owner’s mindset and get your house in tip-top shape. The condition of your Woodbridge VA home will affect how quickly it sells and the price the buyer is willing to offer. First impressions are the most important. A home with too much “personality” is harder to sell. Removing family photos, mementos and personalized decor will help buyers visualize the home as theirs. Make minor repairs and replacements. Small defects, such as a leaky faucet, a torn screen or a worn doormat, can ruin the buyer’s first impression. Clutter is a big no-no when showing your Woodbridge VA Home to potential buyers. Make sure you have removed all knick-knacks from your shelves and cleared all your bathroom and kitchen counters to make every area seem as spacious as possible.
