TIPS FOR SELLERS:

Selecting an Agent: It is important that you make the best choice in selecting an agent to sell your home or investment property. Urban Real Estate Services has a unique position in the downtown marketplace and specializes in urban communities. We have an extensive database of buyers and prospects throughout San Diego County, which, combined with our marketing services, exposes your property to more qualified buyers. We are committed to providing you with the highest degree of professional service.
Preparing Your Property for Sale: The showing condition of your property will have a great impact on how quickly it sells and whether or not you receive the full market value. Before putting your property on the market we will make recommendations for exterior and interior improvements, which will assist you in maximizing the return on your investment. You will want to make your home look as spacious as possible. Remove clutter and organize your furniture, storage areas, closets and kitchen cabinets.
Pricing Strategy: We will consult with you to determine the best possible selling price of your home or investment property, to meet the desired time frame you wish to sell. You will need to take into account the condition of your home or property, the situation of the local real estate market, and the comparable sales in the neighborhood in which your property is located. We will combine this information and provide you with a comparative market analysis to assist you in determining the best fair market price. It is important for you to be reasonable and practical about the price you set. You don't want to price your property too high, to find later you need to reduce it. You may never be able to recapture that initial excitement and activity you would have had with a realistic price.
Showcase Your Home: Your house should always be available and ready for show, even though it may occasionally be inconvenient for you. Try your best to have it look like a model home - a home with furniture but nobody really lives there. Keep everything clean, neat and tidy and make sure you empty the trash every time someone comes to look at your home. If you have scheduled showings, turn on the indoor lights - even during the day. Do not use scented sprays or fragrances to prepare for visitors. If you have pets and cannot take them with you when you are away from the home, keep them in a separate area or room and put a sign up.
One more tip - try to be away from home during showing appointments. Homebuyers will feel like intruders if you are home when they visit, and they might not be as receptive toward viewing your home. If you absolutely cannot leave, try to remain in an out of the way area of the house and do not move from room to room. Do not volunteer any information, but answer any questions the agent may ask.
