Many home sellers have a "moving sale"--they hold a yard or garage sale after thier home has been sold, right before they move. It is a much better idea to hold your sale before you even put your house on the market. If you have visited any of the other pages on this Site, you probably know how important it is to not have any clutter, excess furniture, or just plain junk anywhere in your house when it is on the market. A perfect opportunity to get this accomplished is to: 1) Have a yard sale as soon as you decide to list your house to sell any excess items. What doesn't sell.... 2) Give away or donate to charity. What you can't give away... 3) Pitch! To have a successful yard yard: Plan at least 2 weeks in advance so you can schedule advertising. Organize everything that you will be selling. Keep like items together from the beginning. Prepare signs to be put up the night before the sale. Locate areas where signs can effectively (and legally) be placed. Put prices on everything before the sale. It will save you a lot of time answering questions and buyers will feel more comfortable. But, be prepared to negotiate! Have as many tables available as possible to place items for sale on. Have $25 or $30 in small bills and coins for change. The day of the sale get up early and prepare. Your first customers will probably be early!   Decide whether you want to offer a Home Warranty with your house. Home Warranties Home Warranty packages are available through most Real Estate Agents. They vary somewhat in coverage (and therefore in price), but in general they will warrant the major systems of the house--heating and air conditioning, many plumbing and electrical components, and major appliances--for one year. Although there are some warranty programs that will take effect when you list the house (meaning that you, as seller, may have some coverage before the house is sold), all will give the buyer at least one year's coverage. Some of the items covered may include: Central Heating and A/C Plumbing Electrical Water Heater Refrigerator Washer and Dryer Range and Oven Dishwasher Microwave Garbage Disposal Garage Door Opener Trash Compactor Doorbells Water Softener Should you offer a warranty up front? It may help the marketability of your house. If a buyer (especially a first time buyer) is comparing two homes, one with a warranty and one without, if all else is equal, it could be an added selling point for your house. It is much like doing a pre-listing whole house inspection. When you can remove doubts from a buyer's mind, it will obviously work in your favor. A warranty also may help to solve some post-closing hassles. If the heating system goes out the week after closing, a warranty could be a safety net for the buyer (and less potential aggravation for you). Most sellers are more comfortable when they know that, once the home goes to settlement, the chances are reduced for having any added responsibility to their former house. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13   Previous Page    Next Page
