The Biggest Mistake You Can Make When Selling Your Home

By temineth Jan 11 0

Making the decision to sell your home isn’t an easy decision to make. Often you spend countless nights discussing the possibility of putting your home up on the market and tirelessly research where you could possibly purchase a new home. In both aspects, a great real estate agent is key. While there are multiple different articles regarding tips and tricks to both buying and selling your home, the biggest step you will want and need to take is to get a home inspection for yourself, before any buyers will request it. Now I know some of you have already raised your eyebrows. Why would you spend money on an inspection when it isn’t a requirement for you? Don’t worry, you are not throwing money away, you are in fact, saving it and this is why.The Biggest Mistake You Can Make When Selling Your Home

Over the months and years, our houses start to settle, projects that we once had started become forgotten about, and of course, small things that weren’t a big deal before will start to deteriorate and could need repair or replacement. Granted, some of these things may seem more obvious such as a broken light fixture in the spare bedroom or a stain here and there on the carpets, but what you don’t see could be the things that need to be fixed or upgraded first before you start to worry about the cosmetic appearances. While it may be a hard pill to swallow getting some of the unseen problems fixed could be what will make or break your sale.

By choosing to get a certified and experienced home inspector to complete an inspection of your home, you are able to start upgrading and fixing the problems that might be hiding out of sight throughout the halls. When you have a potential buyer place an offer on your home and their inspector starts to go through their checklist, the last thing you want is for them to give your buyer a bad report and then ultimately lose the sale. This is such an easy problem to avoid! Give yourself a few months if needed and slowly begin to complete the needed repairs so that when your buyer’s inspection report comes back it is squeaky clean and you are good to go with no other speed bumps in sight.

While you may have questions regarding your home inspection, there are answers to help you feel comfortable through the whole process.  A great inspection company will make sure to go through your property with a fine toothcomb and give you an honest report of what they find so that you can be confident when you put your home on the market. Don’t let the little fixer-upper projects be the reason your home doesn’t sell. Take the first steps to selling your home and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

“When my wife and I started looking for a house we were all over the place with options and hurdles, and I feel most real estate agents would have at the very least gotten aggravated and lost interest especially when it looked like the financing might not go through. Tommy never wavered and was always cheerful and positive and continued to give us first class customer service even after the 50th house he showed us. Along with being treated like a friend, he gave sound advice and did so with a honest straight forward approach that made me feel at ease about everything that goes into buying a house. This is not easy to do because I am very skeptical about everything, especially when it involves 30 years of my life. He was able to make one of the most nerve wrecking, stressful experiences in my life almost pleasant because I knew I could depend on him to be honest and on my side…I would recommend Tommy Taylor as a Real estate agent to any of my family and close friends.” - Ingram, TX

“I have bought and sold ten houses all over the United States. We purchased a piece of land Tommy had listed last year. We found Tommy to be the most informative agent we’ve ever had, and at no time did we feel he was trying to steer us into any particular area or property as so many agents are wont to do. His knowledge of land and ranch management was very helpful in our decision. Our negotiation with the seller took two months, and Tommy’s unbiased efforts to bring us a fair deal were as good as I’ve seen any agent produce. I would not hesitate to use him again and recommend him to others.” - Dallas TX

“Of course we would call you for our property related needs!  Who else would we call?  You are the only real estate agent that would get out and walk around aimlessly with us instead of sitting in the truck talking on a cell phone.  Shoot, you even admitted you got us lost – we knew then that you were as honest as they come!  Seriously, you did a great job last time and both of us were highly impressed with your service and knowledge of the area and the wildlife.  It was a much easier and more pleasant experience for us having you involved and that is high praise coming from me because I can’t stand real estate agents… “ - Louisiana

“We had a excellent experience using Tommy Taylor as our Realtor. He walked us through the process of selling our own house and purchasing another one. Questions were answered expertly and he let us know all the different options we had available to us. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy. We know there are thousands of realtors in the Texas Hill Country, but he was recommended to us by a friend and NOW we will never use another! Tommy Taylor is the ONLY realtor that we will use for our future property needs.” - Fredericksburg, TX
