Sell Your Smith Mountain Lake Home the Smart Way

Last updated: April 2, 2019 By Deb Beran

sell your smith mountain lake homeIt may be time for an upgrade, a downsize or a move closer to the kids and grandkids, but whatever your reason, there are good and bad ways to try and sell your Smith Mountain Lake home.

As any Smith Mountain Lake realtor like Deb Beran will tell you, this is great time to sell — the economy is leveling off, the aftermath of the recession is considerably less and inventory is in demand. But there are always selling strategies that can help you get the most for and decrease the wait when you sell your Smith Mountain Lake home.

A High Price to Pay

Many sellers hope to get the maximum value of their home, especially in a seller’s market like the current one, but the actual value and the owners’ ideal value may not line up well. When sellers imagine their home sold at the highest possible price, and insist on making it the listing price, buyers can be instantly turned off, immediately making themselves unavailable to make a great deal happen. A listing that begins too high usually turns into a listing that sits on the market much longer than necessary, turning away viable offers and only making you a discouraged and frustrated home seller. Sell your Smith Mountain Lake home at a price that is realistic, which an experienced real estate agent can help you decide on.

Show Them Up

A seller’s market may mean your chances to sell your Smith Mountain Lake home for what you want are good, but it also means your neighbors are betting on the same thing. Turn the competition for buyers in your favor by showing other homes up with great home staging. Quality staging can help you win buyers over and get more in the sale.

Draw Them In

After you’ve got the interior of your home staged for a show down, it’s time to bring that inside flare outside. A manicured yard, fresh pots of flowers, clean porch or entryway and darling front door are all best bets on great curb appeal. Draw buyers in with an enhancement of what they’ll see first – the front exterior and raise your chances to sell your Smith Mountain Lake home quickly and at the value you’re after.
