Tip of the Day: When a Feelin’ Won’t Do It

While I am tempted to say if you live in central NJ and your house isn’t selling you should call me especially if you, like James Brown, "Got the Feelin'" and went the For Sale by Owner (FSBO) route, but there are still some things FSBO’s can do.
This article makes some good suggestions the first being to video tape the exterior of the home. The exterior is the first things a visitor or potential buyer will see. Looking at the exterior on video will give you distance and oftentimes clarity the condition of your home. If what the visitor sees is crap grass, over-grown trees, yard debris, trash receptacles, broken fixtures, peeling paint etc. your home will show negatively on the outside – which will have an impact on the price a buyer will offer.
Assuming you have packed away all your personal items for the new house, consider having a consultation on staging your home. Often there is too much furniture in homes making rooms appear smaller which could make your asking price appear inflated.
Finally make sure you have had a comparative market analysis done. The market changes as houses come on and are sold or withdrawn from the market. I offer this service for free with no obligation to sellers and I am others do also.
