Let's look at some of the different ways you can sell your home in Nutley, also other towns like Belleville & Clifton New Jersey also apply here, here are a couple of options for home owners and what they can do.
Well for one you can buy a for sale sign put it on your lawn (but check with Nutley township to see if you need a permit first) and then sit and wait for a buyer to drive buy, or you can actually go and post it also on craigslist, but then you are going to get a million calls from agents looking to list your home and they will call all hours of the night and day as well, does not sound like a great option does it? oh we call this FIZBO in the business.
You can also find a transaction broker, you pay then a flat fee and they put the home in the mls, One Photo and bam your for sale right! Not so fast, that is all you get, no marketing, no open house, no representation and your still going to pay at least another 2.5% if you want to find a selling/buyer broker, but you are going to be doing the negotiating as well, it's like going to court and being your own lawyer and you know what they say about that right.
Or you can find a very eager, willing and able agent to discount their commission and let them handle it, even better right? WRONG!!! remember you get what you pay for, this type of agent may do you more damage than selling it on your own, possibly representing your home in a bad way where you are never going to be able to sell it! Especially in a town like Nutley where everyone talks! REMEMBER YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
Or you can do what the smart people of the world do, find a professional "In Nutley" that is going to run comps for you and tell you exactly what your home is most likely going to sell for in Nutley, using professional photos and video and copy to entice home buyers and put your home in the best light possible, remember we need to look better than our competition out there, and the marketing should not only include the MLS but also a social and digital marketing strategy as well, this is the best way to not only get you more money for your home, but also sell your home faster in today's marketplace.

Everyone dreams of living in a model home – a beautiful modern room with the perfect vase of flowers sitting decoratively on a glass side table. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always work this way. Our homes tend to look more “lived in” with a pile of shoes by the front door, school books on the kitchen table, and cat hair on the sofa.
If you have your home listed for sale, then you also know the stress of looking around your home after a phone call requesting a showing with a few minutes’ notice. You want your home to show well so the buyers can see the beauty of the home you love, but with such short notice, how can you convert the lived-in look to a show-ready property?
Fortunately, there are a few tricks for helping you keep your home show-ready at any time.
• Plan in Advance – Before you even list your house, consider the adjustment you’ll need to make in your lifestyle. Move non-essential items to a storage unit, to not only create visual appeal but make it easier to clean quickly.
• Containers – A simple way to quickly eliminate toys, clothes, shoes, sports equipment, and other items is storage bins. Keep some handy to throw excess items into before a buyer shows up, and move them to the garage or basement, or even the back of a vehicle.
• Establish a Routine – Get everyone in the family involved in establishing a daily routine. The less clutter that accumulates, the easier it is to move out of sight quickly. All family members should have morning and evening duties to keep the home tidy. If things are kept up on a daily basis, it will make the clutter and mess less overwhelming.
Unfortunately, your life doesn’t stop just because you’ve listed your home for sale. Keep it show-ready by preparing in advance, so those last-minute buyers can see your home’s charm and not the day’s clutter.
Through all the volatility in the economy right now, some have put their search for a home on hold, yet others have not. According to ShowingTime, the real estate industry's leading showing management technology provider, buyers have started to reappear over the last several weeks. In the latest report, they revealed:
“The March ShowingTime Showing Index® recorded the first nationwide drop in showing traffic in eight months as communities responded to COVID-19. Early April data show signs of an upswing, however.”
Why would people be setting appointments to look at prospective homes when the process of purchasing a home has become more difficult with shelter-in-place orders throughout the country?
Here are three reasons for this uptick in activity:
1. Some people need to move. Whether because of a death in the family, a new birth, divorce, financial hardship, or a job transfer, some families need to make a move as quickly as possible.
2. Real estate agents across the country have become very innovative, utilizing technology that allows purchasers to virtually:
All of this can happen within the required safety protocols, so real estate professionals are continuing to help families make important moves.
3. Buyers understand that mortgage rates are a key component when determining their monthly mortgage payments. Mortgage interest rates are very close to all-time lows and afford today’s purchaser the opportunity to save tens of thousands of dollars over the lifetime of the loan.
Looking closely at the third reason, we can see that there’s a big difference between purchasing a house last December and purchasing one now (see chart below):
Many families have decided not to postpone their plans to purchase a home, even in these difficult times. If you need to make a move, let’s connect today so you have a trusted advisor to safely and professionally guide you through the process.
