Selling your home can be exciting, but let’s face it, it can also feel expensive. Good news, there are several tips to save you money.
Hi, I’m Tanja Odzak, eXp Realty. I love helping people. I’m a Senior Level Realtor and I help people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay!
Here are some of my top tips to save you money during the selling process!
First, price it right from the start. Sellers, overpricing your home can cost you more in the long run. If a home sits on the market too long, buyers may think something’s wrong and you’ll likely end up lowering the price anyway. Work with an experienced agent who knows the market and can help you price your home strategically to sell quickly and at the best price.
The second tip is to focus on cost-effective improvements. You don’t need to go all out on expensive renovations. Instead, focus on affordable updates with a big impact, like: A fresh coat of paint, replacing outdated fixtures, like lighting or cabinet hardware and boosting curb appeal with simple landscaping. These little upgrades can make your home look fresh and move-in ready without breaking the bank.
Then you need to declutter and stage smartly. Decluttering is FREE and can make a huge difference. Pack it all away and organize your space to make it larger and more inviting.
You also want to hire an agent who uses high-quality marketing. Work with an agent who uses effective digital marketing strategies. Professional photos, 3D tours, and online social media exposure can attract buyers without extra costs to you. Then, when you go into a contract, a good agent will help negotiate fairly on any buyer’s request like closing costs or repairs. This way you are not overspending and can actually save you money.
The bottom line is selling your home does not have to be a financial burden and you can get top dollar by strategizing with the right agent.
