How To Sell Your Home

Setting the price

Before you set an asking price for your home, your Metro Brokers agent will complete a Home Market Analysis.  This process will help establish a realistic listing price and increase the percentage of qualified buyers who look at your property.  When setting a realistic fair market value of your home, you'll want to consider a few points:

• Don't base your asking price simply on what you paid for the home.  You may be asking too little or too much.
• Determine how much time you have in which to sell your home.  If you must sell quickly, your agent may suggest a more competitive price or more favorable terms.
• Your agent will provide you with recent sales of comparable homes in your area, as well as homes currently available in your price range that will be your competition.
• Don't take a chance by pricing your home too high!  It will just make your competition look better.  You will lose a large pool of eligible buyers who may not even look at your home because it's out of their price range.
• Your Metro Brokers agent will counsel you on what you can do to maximize the value of your home, making it even more appealing to buyers.
