While you may know your Indio real estate inside and out, that doesn’t mean you’re best suited to sell your property on your own. Many sellers throw a “For Sale” sign onto their property and expect the rest to come easy, and that’s hardly ever the case. You may think the best way to maximize your profits and avoid paying commissions is to sell on your own, but statistics show that theory to be incorrect.
Whether it’s a sellers’ market or not, chances are that having a qualified, experienced realtor in your corner will garner you the best price for your property for a variety of reasons. Even the most beautiful Palm Desert homes for sale or property may need an expert’s touch when it comes to staging and marketing your property in its best light. In addition, a realtor with local expertise will have access to market information that a typical homeowner will not and can help sellers determine the most realistic price. Realtors know what comparable properties in the area are selling for and have sold for, and will be able to help you set reasonable expectations for the sale of your Indio real estate.
Selling a home can be a full-time job—do you really have the time to show your property and field inquiries regularly? A realtor can show your home when you’re at work or otherwise indisposed, and can respond to interested parties and answer questions on your behalf. In addition, they can screen those who visit the property, to ensure that they are truly interested in buying a home and can actually afford to do so. This provides an added measure of safety for you and your family that is priceless, and keeps you from wasting time on buyers who are not serious.
Last but not least, a realtor can give you objective, constructive ways to improve your home’s appearance. Even the most beautiful Palm Desert homes for sale may benefit from certain suggestions. A real estate professional can help you determine which repairs are must-dos and offer ways to significantly boost curb appeal.
