Sell Your Home with Covenant

Staged Home

Why List with Covenant?

Not all homes are the same, so why do other brokerages advertise them the same? Advertising is uniform and only describes the “nuts & bolts” of your home, but fails to evoke an emotion in a potential buyer. We can utilize various tools below to help showcase your home and make buyers excited to jump in their car and visit your home! We also provide complimentary staging, and pre-inspection punch lists if desired via our construction team. Below are just a few examples of the quality marketing we can provide:

OUR PRICING PHILOSOPHY

The first couple of weeks are when the greatest amount of activity should occur when selling your home…this period is better known as
“The Golden Window”. Once this window is gone, your home may become market stale. If you are seeing little activity after a few weeks, it may be a sign you have priced it too high.

Many people think pricing their home a little over market value will leave more room for negotiation. In actuality, overpricing will just discourage prospective buyers from looking at their property. A seller should price their home so that it maximizes the demand for the home. With this strategy, the seller won’t be fighting with a buyer over the price, but rather multiple buyers will be fighting each other over the house.

TIPS FOR A SMOOTHER INSPECTION

The inspection can be a major “make-or-break” point in any transaction. During the buyer’s due diligence period they will likely request for certain items to be repaired, but they could also terminate the contract. It is always advisable to be proactive if you know certain items need repair as the buyer’s inspector is likely going to find them anyways!!!

  • ACCESS: The inspector will need access to all attics, crawlspaces, basements, walk-outs, gates, sheds, electrical panel box, water heater and HVAC components.
  • HVAC: Clean/replace filter (get serviced if older).
  • KITCHEN & BATHROOMS: Check for any small plumbing leaks around sinks, faucets, appliances and toilets. Also, check that you have GFCI outlets (test/reset button) installed and operable as necessary.
  • EXTERIOR: Remove any debris around perimeter of home (such as wood piles). Clean gutters, window wells, windows and ensure they operate properly.
  • MISCELLANEOUS: If property is vacant, make sure all utilities are ON – gas, electric, water; all light bulbs working properly.
