A Successful Home Sale is No Small Feat

2019 July Blog Post

Selling a home is time-consuming, emotional, and complex.

If it has been a while since you last sold a home, you might be surprised that a recent survey found, “Selling a home is one of the most stressful experiences in modern life, second only to relationship break up.” At Moving Station, we support the home sale process by providing in-depth market insights, real estate expertise and advocacy.

A successful home sale process should include:

  • Researching real estate agents who have sold homes recently in your neighborhood
  • Selecting the right real estate agent who appreciates and communicates your home’s appeal
  • Evaluating the agent’s skill at marketing your home, including photos and listing remarks
  • Decluttering, depersonalizing, and neutralizing your home to appeal to a broad array of buyers
  • Enhancing the exterior of your home to maximize curb appeal
  • Pricing your home correctly from the start – buyers are most aware of your home during its first two weeks on the market
  • Monitoring comparable listings to remain competitive
  • Soliciting feedback on how your home is being perceived by potential buyers and other agents, and adapting your marketing strategy accordingly

“Why do this alone?” said Moving Station President/CEO Daniel B. Amdur. “Each family is partnered with one of our Personal Relocation Managers to provide the highest level of customer advocacy and service. Personal Relocation Managers offer a wealth of knowledge, guidance, and comfort to help future community residents navigate the complex home sale process.”
