When you choose Properties by Southern to sell or rent your home, you’re backed by a team that offers more than standard online listings. First, we’ll prepare to submit your home to the application Multiple Listing Service (MLS), offering advice on staging and rearranging your home to show well to buyers, or we’ll suggest any changes you may want to make to your property so it’s more saleable. Then, we’ll set to work pricing your home competitively in order to open the market, rather than narrowing it. Meanwhile, we’ll develop a list of features of your home for brokers to use with their potential buyers, and to curate a custom listing description, ensuring your home is shown in the best light possible.
A clutter-free environment gives the house a clean, open, and spacious look. Box up all unnecessary “stuff” and get it into storage and out of eyesight. Organize closets and cabinets. If a buyer sees everything organized, it shows them that you take good care of the rest of your house.
Updated light fixtures, faucets, flooring, and more – to give the house a fresh, trendy feel – a desired look for the majority of home buyers. Fresh paint is the biggest bang for your dollar. It’s brighter, cleaner, and fresher! Apply wherever needed.
We recommend using professional cleaners to make your home sparkle (especially concentrate on your kitchen and bathrooms). Get your windows professionally cleaned inside and out, too. A clean house shows buyers that you take good care of your home.
Got a dripping faucet? Cracked tile? Loose handrail? This will send the wrong message to potential buyers. Get issues like these fixed before your house is listed. If your basement feels or smells damp, use a dehumidifier. Buyers are very wary of homes with wet basements and are generally concerned about mustiness and moisture.
A little bit of landscaping goes a long way. Freshly cut beds, mulch, shrubs, and flowering plants to create curb appeal. At the very least, you should mow the lawn and tidy up the yard.
Staging is presenting your home in its best and most appealing light to home buyers. Staging makes your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, more loving, and best of it all, it gives buyers an emotional connection – which in turn – will lead to an offer.
Price is a moment in time and may have to change depending on competing properties. Review feedback carefully to make wise pricing decisions.
We will come out within a few days to photograph the inside and outside of the house. Please have the house ready to photograph. (Please straighten up the house, pack away belongings, etc. to make it easy to photograph).
Please review the partial link once its emailed to you. You will be able to edit to your liking. We do not go live on any listing without the seller’s final approval.
In order to have smooth and effective showings, all appointments are set up through ShowingTime with the schedule we have set up with you in advance. You will not have to speak with other agents.
Please leave the house prior to showings.
Rarely do we have “no shows” and “drop-ins”. Drop-ins ring the bell and want to show. They are usually very motivated and buy that day. You can show only if you wish.
All showings will be scheduled through the Properties by Southern ShowingTime Call Center.
All appointments are recorded via ShowingTime and Patrick will follow up with all the agents.
Please let us know how to reach you if you go out of town.
Low offers happen once in a while. Please work with us to walk them up in price. We need to be able to reach you quickly when the offer arrives. We need to respond quickly by phone & email when an offer comes in. If a buyer has too much time to think – they second guess their purchase and talk themselves out of it.
