Selling a home and getting the price you want takes a lot of skill and nuance. Here's how you can ensure you end up on top.

Pricing your home right is a difficult decision. Too high and it won't sell; too low and you could be missing out on money you could have had otherwise. Not to mention there is so much that comes down to how you present your house. Does it look like it's worth what you've priced it at?

If you're trying to ensure your home sells for the right price, here are a few things our real estate agents recommend doing.

Seller Etiquette - Cressy & Everett Real Estate

Everyone wants their home sale to go smoothly, but sometimes that's easier said than done. Our real estate agents have put together five important tips for how you can sail past the rough patches and ensure everything goes well on your end.

  • Make Yourself Scarce During Tours
    Prospective buyers want to be able to imagine themselves living in your home, so it's important to remove as much of you from the premises as possible. This means more than just leaving during tours of your home, however. It also means getting the pets out of the house, so that agents and their clients don't have to worry about not letting a cat or dog outside that's not supposed to get out, or worse, being ambushed by an unfriendly animal who doesn't understand why there are strangers in the house. And even before that, you'll need to wipe yourself from the clutter and decor. Staging the house means decorating it in a welcoming but fairly impersonal fashion, so that prospective buyers are free to imagine themselves living there.

Reasons to List - Cressy & Everett Real Estate

Our real estate agents are hard at work helping clients like you across our South Bend community. It's an unusual time in real estate, but important for prospective sellers to know buyers and sellers are jumping back into the market!

Now is a terrific time for South Bend homes for sale to get listed.

With mortgage rates reaching historic lows – no exaggeration – buyers are revisiting their plans. Many buyers who were waiting for a more favorable market are now on board. But that doesn't mean South Bend home prices are plummeting.

On the contrary, South Bend home prices are standing strong and in many cases, even rising. But buyers are attracted to the potential to get a great deal on a home financing package. That makes them more likely to aggressively seek out a home they truly love. That alone is a great reason to get excited about selling in South Bend.

But, yes, there are even more advantages to selling your home right now. Here's what you need to know.

Fall Maintenance for Homesellers - Cressy & Everett Real Estate

Fall is a time for change and selling your home is one of the biggest changes you can make. If you're eyeing an upcoming date to list your home, you want to make sure the entire property is ready for prospective buyers to view. Hopefully, you've been diligent with your seasonal maintenance tasks. As one of the most important responsibilities that come with homeownership, neglecting the many interior, exterior, and landscaping tasks around your property can lead to inconvenient and expensive problems down the road.

However, even if you have remained on-schedule with your monthly maintenance responsibilities, there are a few others you may want to focus on if you're hoping to list your home for sale in autumn. Our real estate agents share tips to help get your home ready.

Smart Home Upgrades for Home Sellers - Cressy & Everett Real Estate

You've remodeled the bathrooms, upgraded the kitchen and put up a fresh coat of paint on every wall. Your landscape is lush, your garage door is brand new and your home's curb appeal is enough to catch the eye of any passerby. What more could a prospective buyer ask for when looking at South Bend homes for sale?

Although the traditional advice for home sellers preparing to list their property has always revolved around updating the kitchen, bathrooms, and exterior, today's real estate market is full of buyers who crave a contemporary upgrade that requires much more than new windows and doors.

Technology from Wall to Wall

Technology has been integrated into nearly every aspect of our lives, including our homes. Products small and large now come with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities. Appliances and devices are designed with complex computer systems that enable us to control these resources by voice, with a single touch, or even remotely from miles away. These innovations dramatically change the way we engage and interact with our homes.
