Preliminary Planning

Remember that buyers have choices.  When they and their buyer agent select a home in Rock Hill or Fort Mill SC to view, it is likely that they have seen other York County homes on the market in a similar price range.  Very quickly, home buyers learn what they can expect in a price range and how to eliminate homes from their list of favorites.  Homes in the Piedmont recommends that home sellers make every effort to have their home in as favorable a condition as possible.  Making repairs of known problems, paying attention to curb appeal, and staging the home to look its best prior to putting it on the market can set the home apart from its competition. 

Repair leaky faucets, freshen paint, clean carpets, spruce up the yard, and consider a professional cleaning.  Depending on the condition and age of your home, and the current real estate market, we may recommend you have a termite and pest inspection done before placing your home on the market. We will discuss the value of a pre-inspection by a certified Home Inspector.  A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs, as well as point out the need for overlooked maintenance items to put your home in salable condition. After the inspections, you will be armed with information that will allow you to make decisions with confidence and calmness while you still have time to weigh your alternatives. A home inspection can identify problems in the making and suggest preventive measures that might help you avoid costly repairs.

If the home will be vacant, I suggest 'staging lite' to add texture and interest. 

Choosing Homes in the Piedmont to guide you through preliminary planning will help ensure that your home compares favorably to others on the market and that issues that may result during the selling process have been addressed proactively.

Now that you know the steps to prepare to list, let's review how to ensure you have the right York County SC real estate agent.
