eSolds Reveals How to Sell a Home

Posted on June 26, 2013 by Jesse

Selling a home is daunting task.  With all the variables involved, selling a home can quickly become an overwhelming process.  That’s where the experts come in.  ESolds knows ‘what’ sells and ‘how’ to sell, and is there to help home sellers prepare a home for sale and offer resources such as eCertificates and eSoldsListings.

There are a number of variables that can aid in the sale of a home, and get a fair return in the process.  The first is obvious, and it is photos of the home.  Today, home buyers and home sellers are going online to find their home, much unlike their approach in the past.  This leads to an increased importance placed on photos of the home, not only exterior, but interior as well.

ESolds recommends that the home seller prepare the home, both inside and out, for photographs that will appeal to those looking for a home.  This is where simplicity works best.  ESolds advises home sellers that before they take any photos, they ensure that the home has been de-cluttered (that means outside as well) and also position furniture in such a manner as to make rooms appear larger.

Moreover, ESolds advises home sellers not to post pictures that they have taken from their smartphone, as those can look unprofessional and can quickly turn off a home buyer (who is making a life changing purchase and will not accept anything less than professional).  ESolds recommends that the home seller seek a professional to take staged photos, and although a cost will be accrued, these professional photographs will inevitably pay for themselves when the home is actually sold.

A few other tips that ESolds emphasizes to home sellers is the importance of setting a realistic sale price and to also have the home available to be viewed by potential home buyers, as leaving the doors closed is a sure way to lose a potential sale.

One of the last tips is to use the right brokerage.  It is important that a home seller simply doesn’t go for the cheapest agent, as a sale of a home is a potential money maker, and the home seller has a lot of money riding on that sale.  The home seller must look for a brokerage that will provide a large online presence, knowledgeable agents, and excellent customer service.

ESolds will do its part in the home selling process, but expects the home seller to be just as motivated to sell a home, as the benefits of selling a home are directly reaped by the home seller.  With ESolds’s help, selling a home doesn’t have to be a daunting process, but rather, a satisfying and profitable one.
