Checklist for Sellers of Glenbrooke Condo in

Bridgewater NJ

So you’re planning on selling your Glenbrooke condo in Bridgewater NJ. The whole home selling process can be both rewarding and demanding. You want the most value for your property and the best way to get the best deal is to be thoroughly prepared.

Here’s a list of suggestions to help you get started:

❏ Hire the best real estate agent in Bridgewater NJ.

Choose someone who has the knowledge, tools, experience and techniques. Since working with an agent means you have to share some personal details (your background and finances), hire someone with whom you can be really comfortable with.

❏ Have a pre-listing inspection to identify needed repairs.

A great many sales are cancelled due to home defects and safety hazards unknown to or undetected by the seller. A pre-listing inspection will help you to be in tune with the condition of your home, make the necessary repairs (if within budget), and allow you to see your home through the eyes of a critical third-party.

❏ Set the right price.

Pricing your home properly is very crucial to getting it sold fast as it will likely attract more interested buyers. Your listing agent will provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) and a suggestion on how your home should be priced based on value and current market trends.

❏ Decide which items will go with you and what will stay as part of the home.

Start removing all your personal and family photos, memorabilia and collections. Store away any item that could be potentially offensive or disagreeable to potential buyers. Also, begin packing all the things you won’t be using before moving so they won’t add to the clutter. This will make it easier for you to prepare your home for viewing.

❏ Stage your Glenbrooke condo.

Keep everything clean, organized and clutter-free. Small things like changing the knobs on your cabinets, placing new slipcovers on the sofa, or upgrading your electrical fixtures can make a huge difference. The right staging technique can do wonders in increasing your home’s perceived value.

❏ Prepare for a home inspection.

The home inspection is an important part of the home selling process. Buyers want to ensure that what they’re purchasing is free from any hidden defects or malfunctions so they’ll hire one or more professionals to examine the physical components of your home.

❏ Look for a new home.

Home sellers are usually discouraged from looking for a new home until after their existing home has progressed towards successful closing, however, under the right circumstances, you can opt to buy and sell simultaneously. Just make sure you know your options well and you listen to the advice of your real estate agent and other professionals.

❏ Start organizing your move.

Once the sale has been finalized, it is time to organize your move. Pack up all of your belongings, contact the movers and be on your way to your new home.
