More Tips from Gaddis

Cleve Gaddis is just full of knowledge that he wants to share with the real estate industry. Continually closing the most homes at RE/MAX Around Atlanta for the past six years and having extensive experience in sales and marketing, Gaddis is an expert in selling. Here are more tips from Gaddis on how to sell a home quicker:

  • Pick the right real estate agent or broker. There are thousands of agents in Atlanta real estate, making it hard to find on that can deliver results, but not impossible. When interviewing, ask agents to provide you with a list of homes they have sold in the last 6 months and the contact information for these clients. If an agent can sell lots of other homes even when the market is slow, the chances are good that they will be able to sell your home too.
  • Price is right. Use only homes that have closed within the last 90 days as comparables when pricing your home. And continue to reference this market often. Sometimes just a few thousand dollars can make all the difference in the buyer’s perception of whether or not the home is a good value.
  • Offer warranties. Don’t make buyers have to ask for warranties to insure they won’t be saddled with unexpected repairs during the first year. Try to cover the mechanical systems of the home and provide a termite bond and/or stucco/synthetic stucco bond when applicable.
  • Provide several financing options. Help the buyer to understand how much it will cost them monthly to purchase your home - including a utility anaylsis is often helpful. Get with a lender and offer several financing options with different levels of down payments. And don’t forget, subject to the lender’s approval, a seller might even be able to buy down the buyer’s interest rate, which is VERY appealing in today’s market.

These are interesting points to take into consideration when selling a home. Gaddis is well-experienced in the real estate industry and knows how to sell a home. If you were going to take advice from someone on what buyers look for in a home, he would know. So, if you are selling your home or are about to, and don’t know how to offset the slow market, use these tips and the other tips from Gaddis to sell your home quicker.
