Will I Be Able to Sell My Home For The Full Asking Price?

In today’s real estate landscape, a fast, top-dollar home sale isn’t always promised. If you’re hoping to get a great result from your home sale, facing the market can be anxiety-inducing. 

However, selling your home doesn’t have to feel like a guessing game – especially when it comes to selling for the full asking price. As experienced real estate agents, we know a thing or two about how to get a great result on the market. 

In this blog, we’ll pass along our top strategies for maximizing your sale. We’ll also touch on the Lino Arci Team’s 100% Asking Price Guarantee, which can eliminate the stresses of selling for less than expected.

Strategies For a Top Dollar Sale

Regardless of what’s going on in the market, sellers should always take extra steps to set themselves up for a successful sale. 

Make Your Home Look Great

While there is a market for fixer-uppers, buyers are far more likely to pay the full asking price if your home looks great and is move-in ready. Start with a deep clean and decluttering process. After that, take the time to fix minor repairs, such as leaky faucets, squeaky doors, or anything else buyers may notice. Consider making strategic upgrades that could increase your home’s value, such as updating the kitchen or bathrooms. 

Sprucing up your home also applies to the exterior. A fresh coat of paint on the door, well-maintained landscaping, and a clean clutter-free doorstep can make your property more attractive and signal to buyers that the home has been well cared for.

In addition to these basic preparations, staging your home can also lead to significantly higher offers.

Pricing Effectively 

If you want to sell your home quickly and at a price you’re happy with, you’ll need to be selective with the number you choose to list it at. While it may seem tempting to pick a higher dollar amount in hopes that buyers will offer down, overpricing can actually scare away potential buyers altogether. On the other hand, underpricing could leave you with less than what your property is worth. 

Approach Negotiations With an Open Mind

While your goal is to secure the full asking price, it’s important to approach negotiations with flexibility. Buyers might have legitimate concerns or requests, such as repairs or adjustments to the closing timeline. 

It’s important to remember that, if your home stays on the market for too long, it can negatively affect your bottom line. Being open to reasonable compromises can help bridge the gap and lead to a more efficient, more profitable sale.

Choose The Right Real Estate Agent

A skilled and experienced real estate agent can make a world of difference in selling your home – especially if you’re looking to sell for the full asking price. A high-performance agent will bring unique strategies, industry knowledge, and a wide network of potential buyers to the table. All of these factors can drastically improve your final results.

With that in mind, you’ll want to choose your agent carefully. Be sure to research (and talk to) multiple professionals before making your decision. 

Accounting For Selling Costs

The strategies listed above can help you maximize your odds of selling for (or above) your asking price. That said, you should also familiarize yourself with the various costs of selling before you begin the listing process. This can give you a more complete estimate of what the final returns of your sale can be.
