Is ZVestors Right for You?

Do you know that there is more than one way to sell your home? Many Americans dread moving because the work of interviewing a realtor, doing repairs and updates, and leaving every time a prospective buyer wants a tour is just too much to handle. In our quest to make selling your home fast and hassle-free, the ZVestors team has learned a lot about what matters most. Use these tips to decide which options are right for you.

Set Expectations

First, you need to establish what your home is worth, based on comparable property sales in your area. A realtor or a buying agent at ZVestors can help you examine the data and determine pricing. You will also want to call your lender to learn the cash payoff of your mortgage.

Once you know the value of the property and the exact payoff amount, you will need to consider seller’s fees. In a typical real estate transaction, realtor fees equal 6% of the sale price. You will also be liable for some of the closing costs. According to real estate site Zillow, “Closing costs for sellers can reach 8% to 10% of the sale price of the home.”  That number includes the 6% real estate commission, which is paid by the seller, as well as title, attorney, and other associated fees.

Hire Professionals

Whether you hire a real estate agent or use a buying agent from ZVestors to sell your house, it is a good idea to have a professional look over the financial and ensure the deal is fair and the paperwork is in order.

If using a realtor, they may recommend repairs or updates to the property before you put your home on the market. These often include improving “curb appeal” by painting your front door and adding some landscaping touches. If the house is dated or needs more serious repairs, you can fix these items or plan to offer a financial allowance for the buyers to fix these things themselves.

When it comes to pictures for your home, spend the money on a good photographer. If your budget doesn’t allow for it, get some pointers in this great article from HomeLight, “16 Real Estate Photography Tips to Pull Off the Perfect Shoot for Your Home.” Your online tour can make or break your ability to market your home and maximize your profit.

If there may be tax implications or legal complications associated with your property, work with a licensed, experienced CPA or real estate attorney. You can find local recommendations on Yelp or Google .

Get a Move On

Throughout the selling process, think about your move. If you begin to declutter your home, you’ll improve the look for prospective buyers and start thinning out the number of items you’ll need to pack and move. Take advantage of local Goodwill Donation Centers  and get a tax deduction while you are at it.

ZVestors works with many clients who have tight time constraints for selling their homes, so we know how stressful and time-consuming moving can be. Check out our tips in “Moving Made Manageable,” one of our blog posts that can help ensure the relocation process is as smooth as possible.
