Careful preparation is always necessary every time you decide to sell your house in Indianapolis. As it’s a major decision, you don’t like anything bad to happen. That’s why you must do all you can to lessen such risks.

Incomplete paperwork is one typical issue that homeowners deal with. Nonetheless, even though it is insignificant, it can result in bigger problems in the future, especially when you finally find a buyer for your house.

Whatever your reason for selling your house, you must know a few practical tips to make the entire process as smooth as possible.

  1. Curb appeal

The first thing home buyers will see when they check your house is the exterior. Curb appeal is vital in creating an inviting atmosphere. If you wish to sell the house at a market price, you must prepare it before putting it for sale.

Minor renovations and repairs can make it more marketable and appealing. That will push up the property on the salability scale. Also, major renovations and repairs could yield you the best returns once your house is placed on the market.

  1. Set the asking price

This is an issue for many individual sellers—determining the selling price. You must be extra wary about the price that you must quote for your property. Take note that quoting an unreasonably high price could keep away sincere buyers.

A suitable price will depend on many factors. Nonetheless, a simple way to identify the price would be to consider the average sale price where similar properties were sold in the past three to six months.  Our agents at JF Property Group can help determine a listing price based on the Comparable Market Analysis results.

  1. Clear all dues

Before putting the property up for sale, make sure the dues—property tax, society maintenance, utility bills, and so on—are paid to date. Understand and inquire about the transfer charges and processes, if any, that prevail in the city where your property is located.  The Title Company will process the preliminary title work, and title commitment which will yield the results of this information as well.

  1. Keep all the documents handy

You must have the original copy of the sale deed. In case you purchased it from a developer or a housing development authority, you must have the allotment letter, possession letter, or sale agreement.

  1. Get help from a real estate agent

You need to reach out to as many potential buyers as possible. Apart from word of mouth, you could take the help of a real estate agent. Hiring a good agent is essential as they can guide you throughout the home selling process.

Finding and hiring a real estate agent is never a waste of money and time, especially if you know what they can offer to you. Instead of avoiding paying for the service, you should embrace the concept that help from the specialist will help you get a better price and experience.

Above are some of the ideas that could help relieve the entire home selling process. Nonetheless, bear in mind that real estate is a heterogenous thing—what affects property prices and market conditions in one location will be different for another.

Make sure you do your research to know what factors should be considered and if it’s the right time to sell your house.  Our agents at JF Property Group are educated, experienced and willing to help with the task of selling your Indiana home!
