1. Have a concrete reason for selling your property

Selling a home should never be an impulsive decision. It is necessary to sit down and make a concrete list of reasons you want to sell your home. Not only will this help you decide for yourself what the right decision is, but it will also help in the negotiation process if you have firm reasons for wanting to transfer the ownership of your property.

2.  Select a REALTOR

No matter whom you choose as your agent, it is important to be honest with them, and to be sure that that person will return the honesty. Jean-Luc is a member of the Institute of Luxury Home Marketing’s Million Dollar Guild, and is therefore a designated expert in selling luxury properties. He is recognized for his outstanding performance in luxury home sales and his clients think he’s a star too!

3. Set a price

This is one of the most difficult parts of selling a home because people become emotionally attached in the process. It is important to keep an open mind and take into consideration various elements such as physical attributions of your home, what comparable homes are selling for in your area, and the state of the market in your community. It is always better to set a price closer to the fair market value than too high. If the home sits on the market for two long, buyers will get concerned.

4.  Make your property sellable: home improvements

With any home improvement, small or large, first take a look at the cost versus value for each project. Some, like new garage doors and kitchen renovations can get you a large percentage of money back on your investment, and others, like certain home additions, will not.

5.  Seller’s Property Disclosure

This aspect has become a major part of the home transaction in Florida. This is where sellers describe to the best of their knowledge physical aspects of the property, providing a transparency to buyers who will eventually purchase the property. This includes notes on land condition, structural conditions, plumbing, roofing, electrical systems, additions or remodeling.
