Maybe we are expert amateur sellers, but we planned over 1 year in advance, in fact anything we had done to the house was with re-sale in mind. The 2022 buyers binge is over, but we did all your 5 pillars (staging, never deferred maintenance, etc) sold our house for cash in 1 day, price over asking. I would also add that those homeowners considering a renovation: there are a lot of you- tubes that up date on decorating and renovation trends (especially kitchen and bath). They’re fun to watch, and I felt I had a better sense of what would still be classic enough to sell in 5 years or more down the road by staying away from things that might be too trendy but identified solid concepts. I think you give really sound advice, Katie.

Love it when you tell true stories of clients 👍🏼

Best advice you’ve given is contacting an agent early—establish that strategy. We contacted our agent 2 yrs out. Painting the house right now as I’m listening with 23 months to go until listing date.

You have excellent content, but the quick zoom in/out is a distraction and forces me to have to look away. It's better than it was on some of your earlier vids, but still too much for me. Maybe it's that it zoom in/out is too drastic--like too far out to too far in. If your audience is mostly under 40, maybe it's fine, but for us older folks, it's hard to watch. Thanks for the great content!

As someone who has sold two homes in the last 2 years, I can tell you you are so right that price and staging is key. In both cases, we set the price slightly below market value. In both cases, we got multiple offers and sold ABOVE market value. In one of the houses we sold, we hired a stager to come in to make it look “HGTV ready.” The stager got rid of almost all my stuff and furnished it with really cheap “furniture” (made IKEA look high end) and very cheap, plain vanilla furnishings. The “beds” were fake beds. BUT, that staging sold that house ASAP. Our agent knew we were going to get inundated with offers that she actually put in a 48 hour deadline to submit offers. The other house was too big to stage so we just emptied it and cleaned it. But I have learned it is worth investing in a stager and asking a price that is slightly below market value.

What is your opinion on neatly putting your moving boxes in the garage vs renting something like a POD to put it in? I have a lot to declutter before staging and listing.

My house in FL has been for sale for 4 months now...today we had an open house and after all my work, no one showed up. A few months before I listed, the houses in my neighborhood were selling high so I guess I listed high to start with. But I keep going down and nothing. My house is on very good conditions but one bathroom is set up with a walk in tub. Not sure if people are passing it because of that. I regret not starting at the price my realtor had suggested at the beginning where I'm at now after 4 months.

I have been following a listing that is about two years. It was high for about a year then foreclosed. The bank then tried to improve then it has been listed close to another year. The price was actually about the same for other homes in the area but the main problem is that it is a 8 out of ten for flooding. High risk. So in reality the price was very high because of that. Now it has been marked down about 20% and still no offers and stale.

Do you have a professional agent in guanacaste Costa Rica for selling my property? Thank you

[christines]

I had you recommend realtors to me, where my husband and I intend to sell our house in the future. I am excited to see what direction the realtor send us!

What are your thoughts on solar? Not planning to sell even in 10 yrs.

I guess I need your Seller's Playbook. I'm obsessing over every repair and cosmetic issue. Example: For three months, I've been worried about the sink in my guest bathroom. Someone has poured something into it that damaged it?? IDK what happened. It's severely etched and awful looking about three inches in diameter around the drain. Nothing I've tried helps. The sink is molded into the long vanity top. I think it would cost over 1k to redo that countertop and sink. There's not a day that goes by that I'm not thinking about that dang sink! I know if I were shopping for a home and saw it, it would bother me.

Today's buyer has no fear of missing out. If you need to sell price slightly below market. Time is money, when you have decided to sell quicker is better.

[donnabremerman]

With everything that my husband and I are expected to do to sell and show our home, I can’t image the next level stress it will create to try to be our own agent! Unless you are a professional real estate agent, I believe it is foolish to try and sell on your own.

[dargardargar]

Finding the "right price" to generate a quick SALE for your home is not (always) easy to determine, even for experienced agents. Similarly, agents can be the greatest of actors; ones that will say anything to get you to sign a listing agreement. Once you do, you are cast adrift until the MLS produces a buyer. Saying "all you have to do….", in this regard, is misleading.

The traditional 6% realtor fee is ridiculous. So I have a $1 million dollar home and I am going to pay someone $60, 000 to list it on the internet and show it to potential buyers? 6% for a $100, 000 home seems reasonable. Should be a sliding scale based on the value of the home.

My condo has been on the market for about a month. I am in a Chicago suburb. My agent has done two open houses and we have had personal viewings scheduled after a price reduction that meets the criteria buyers use in their price range search.

All feedback has been good, buyer like the updates which includes the bath and kitchen. The unit shows well online but I have not received an offer. The only negative comment has been on parking restrictions. I am starting to believe that since my targeted buyer has not mentioned the price as being too high that my issue is that the typical buyer is a first time buyer and that they are slow to pull the trigger hoping interest rates go down .


I am also feeling I should have listed later in spring in the thick of when buyers are active.

[sleeplesscrafter]

What I don’t understand is how the market has gone up so high so fast. It’s not like all of a sudden everyone is making 10x more income, yet prices have gone up 10x what people are making.

[FahlstromJohn]

it is a technique to engage viewers but overused....hope her video editor learns to use this sparingly....please

The shelves behind you are cluttered, junky, and distracting.
