What It Takes To Successfully Sell Your Home

Selling a home can be a stressful and overwhelming process, but it doesn't have to be. With proper planning and execution, selling a home can be a successful and lucrative experience. Here are some key factors to consider when selling your home:

Price It Right

Setting the right price for your home is critical to attracting potential buyers. In Arizona, home prices can vary greatly depending on the location, condition, and features of the property. Be sure to do your research and work with a trusted real estate agent to determine a fair and competitive asking price. The Stidham Team can help you determine a fair market value by providing a Comparative Market Analysis. This is just a fancy term for using similar homes in your area to formulate a price based on square footage price and comparing each properties strengths and weaknesses.

Stage Your Home

Staging your home is all about presenting your property in the best possible light. This means decluttering, depersonalizing, and showcasing the most attractive features of your home. By depersonalizing your home it allows potential buyers to "see" themselves living there and not someone else. In Arizona, this may include highlighting outdoor living spaces or showcasing mountain or desert views.

Market Effectively

In order to attract the right buyers, you need to market your home effectively. This includes listing your property on major real estate websites, leveraging social media and other digital platforms, and working with a reputable real estate agent who can tap into their network to promote your property. The Stidham Team leverages years of experience from owning and operating a highly successful marketing and photography business, Granite Peak Photography. We've photographed over 2,500 homes throughout the state including some of the most luxurious properties in the area.

We leverage social media with paid ads targeting potential buyers in the area and maintain a revolutionary website and a CRM with over 5,000 potential clients. 

Prepare For Inspections

Inspections are a crucial part of the home selling process, particularly in Arizona where there may be unique concerns related to pests, heat, and other environmental factors. Be sure to address any issues that may arise during the inspection process and be transparent with potential buyers about any known issues. We recommend that each home owner pays for a professional home inspection prior to listings. This allows you to catch and fix items that may destroy the deal or become a costly negotiation after you've already accepted an offer.

Understand Legal Requirements

Selling a home in Arizona comes with legal requirements that must be met. This includes obtaining a seller's disclosure statement, adhering to fair housing laws, and complying with all state and federal regulations.

Be Patient

Selling a home can take time, particularly in a competitive market like Arizona. Be patient and work with your real estate agent to develop a plan for attracting the right buyers and negotiating a fair deal.

Selling a home can be a rewarding experience if you take the time to properly prepare and execute your plan. By pricing your home appropriately, staging it effectively, marketing it to the right buyers, and understanding the legal requirements, you can maximize your chances of a successful sale.
