Whether you are preparing to upgrade or downsize, selling your home is such an exciting milestone. It is an incredible accomplishment that you purchased a home and have built up equity. Now, you get to leverage that equity to make your next big move.
All that being said, selling a home can be overwhelming. There are lots of things to consider, such getting finances and documents in order, making sure your home is staged and open house ready, finding your next home sweet home and more. These days, there is also the added element of selling during a global pandemic. Still; don't let any of this deter you.
The market is hot right now and headed towards a buyers market. With more buyers than homes listed, this means as a seller you have a competitive advantage.

www.Realtor.com covers some of the adjustments being made to the selling process due to COVID-19. Here are some of the items they mention for you to be aware of:
- "Eye-catching photos and video have long been a must for any home listing, but that’s more important than ever now, since so many people are sheltering in place at home and likely house hunting online. These days, sellers are taking their listings up a notch by offering virtual tours of their homes to drive interest among buyers and provide a more in-depth glimpse of the property."
- "Open houses with large groups of people are mostly canceled for now, but many buyers still want to view a home in person before making an offer. Sellers, however, may worry about having strangers in their homes. So, in places where face-to-face showings are still happening, real estate agents are taking some extra steps to protect homeowners and only allowing them in on a case-by-case basis."
- "Home sellers usually have to allow the home buyer’s inspectors and appraisers into their homes before the real estate deal can go forward. But, these days, social distancing orders are allowing many inspections and appraisals to be done with minimal contact."
Precautions are being taken to keep you and your home safe, so don't hesitate: list your home today with Ken Richter!
