Buyers are far more discriminating, and alarge percentage of the homes listed for saledon’t sell the first time. It’s more critical thanever to learn what you need to know to avoidcostly seller mistakes in order to sell yourhome fast and for the most amount of money.”

THE 9 STEP SYSTEM TO GET YOUR HOMESOLD FAST AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

Selling your home is one of the mostimportant steps in your life. This 9 step

system will give you the tools you needto maximize your profits, maintain control,and reduce the stress that comes with thehome-selling process:

1. Know why you’re selling, and keep it toyourself.

The reasons behind your decision to sellaffect everything from setting a price todeciding how much time and money to investin getting your home ready for sale. What’smore important to you: the money you walkaway with, or the length of time your propertyis on the market? Different goals will dictatedifferent strategies.

However, don’t reveal your motivation toanyone else or they may use it against you atthe negotiating table. When asked, simply saythat your housing needs have changed.

2. Do your homework before setting a price.

Settling on an offering price shouldn’t be donelightly. Once you’ve set your price, you’ve toldbuyers the absolute maximum they haveto pay for your home, but pricing too high isas dangerous as pricing too low. Rememberthat the average buyer is looking at 15-20homes at the same time they are consideringyours. This means that they have a basisof comparison, and if your home doesn’tcompare favorably with others in the pricerange you’ve set, you won’t be taken seriouslyby prospects or agents. As a result, your homewill sit on the market for a long time and,knowing this, new buyers on the market willthink there must be something wrong withyour home.

3. Do your homework.

Find out what homes in your own and similarneighborhoods have sold for in the past 6-12months, and research what current homes are

listed for. That’s certainly how prospectivebuyers will assess the worth of your home.

4. Find a good real estate agent to representyour needs.

Nearly three-quarters of homeowners claimthat they wouldn’t use the same realtor whosold their last home. Dissatisfaction boilsdown to poor communication which resultsin not enough feedback, lower pricing andstrained relations.

5. Maximize your home’s sales potential.

Each year, corporate North America spendsbillions on product and packaging design.Appearance is critical, and it would be foolishto ignore this when selling your home.

You may not be able to change your home’slocation or floor plan, but you can do a lot toimprove its appearance. The look and feelof your home generates a greater emotionalresponse than any other factor. Cleanlike you’ve never cleaned before. Pick up,straighten, unclutter, scrub, scour and dust.Fix everything, no matter how insignificant itmay appear. Present your home to get a wow”response from prospective buyers.

Allow the buyers to imagine themselves livingin your home The decision to buy a home isbased on emotion, not logic. Prospectivebuyers want to try on your home just like theywould a new suit of clothes. If you follow themaround pointing out improvements or if yourdecor is so different that it’s difficult for a buyerto strip it away in his or her mind, you make itdifficult for them to feel comfortable enough toimagine themselves an owner.

6. Make it easy for prospects to getinformation on your home.

The prospects calling for information on yourhome probably value their time as muchas you do. The last thing they want to besubjected to is either a game of telephone tagwith an agent, or an unwanted sales pitch.Make sure the ads your agent places for yourhome are attached to a 24 hour prerecorded

hotline with a specific ID# or a MLS listing# foryour home which gives buyers access todetailed information about your property dayor night 7 days a week without having to talkto anyone. It’s been proven that 3 times asmany buyers call for information on your homeunder this system. And remember, the morebuyers you have competing for your homethe better, because it sets up an auction-likeatmosphere that puts you in the driver’s seat.

7. Know your buyer.

In the negotiation process, your objective is tocontrol the pace and set the duration. What isyour buyer’s motivation? Does s/he need tomove quickly? Does s/he have enough moneyto pay you your asking price? Knowing thisinformation gives you the upper hand in thenegotiation because you know how far youcan push to get what you want.

8. Make sure the contract is complete.

For your part as a seller, make sure youdisclose everything. Smart sellers proactivelygo above and beyond the laws to disclose allknown defects to their buyers in writing. If thebuyer knows about a problem, s/he can’tcome back with a lawsuit later on.

Make sure all terms, costs and responsibilitiesare spelled out in the contract of sale, andresist the temptation to diverge from thecontract. For example, if the buyer requests amove-in prior to closing, just say no. Now isnot the time to take any chances of the dealfalling through. Your agent can advise you onthis.

9. Don’t move out before you sell.

Studies have shown that it is more difficult tosell a home that is vacant because it looksforlorn, forgotten, simply not appealing. Itcould even cost you thousands. If you move,you’re also telling buyers that you have a newhome and are probably highly motivatedto sell fast. This, of course, will give them theadvantage at the negotiating table.

What’s Hot, What’s Not for 2011!Did you know that most of our home furnishing design trends actually follow design trends in thewoman’s fashion industry? So what you see walking down the red carpet today, might actually betranslated into one of the hottest design trends of tomorrow!

Liz’ Tips

Liz’ TipsBy: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind Maximum Impact with Minimal InvestmentBrockville, Ontario

This year, the colour of the year according toPantone, is Honeysuckle. Not the yellowHoneysuckle that you see that grows wild butit is the dark pinkish orange colour that is theyear's HOT COLOR.

SIMPLE, CLEAN LINES

In general, we see a bit more of a traditionaldesign style when we talk about a transitionaldesign. Today, this transitional design styletends to have a more modern contemporaryinfluence rather than traditional. Look forcleaner, straighter lines in upholstered andoccasional furniture style. We also see a trendto smaller scaled furniture styles. The bigoverstuff sofas are sliding down the popularscale since they take up way too much room inour homes. And many of today’s new occa-sional tables tend to feature straight rather thancurved lines. And, since you live in yourhouse, decorating rules can be somewhat flex-ible: always feel free to bend them up in orderto lend “your personality” to your space.

TEXTURE, TEXTURE, TEXTURE!

Whether you chose to display your love of tex-ture in your upholstery – leather, ultra suede, ormicro-fibre, or in your wall art, with dramaticwrought iron designs, texture continues to adddrama to any décor. Area rugs in various styles,shapes and designs, help add visual interest tohard-wood or tile floors. And draperies, deli-ciously designed with silks and embroideredpatterns, continue to be all the rage.

DETAILS!

Appliqués, embossing, leather piping, beadedfringe, and dramatic tassels and tiebacks continue their everlasting popularity.

PAISLEY PRINTS ARE STILL A PIZZAZZ ELEMENT!

We’ve seen years when the trends have gonefrom large dramatic floral to small geometricdesigns. One of the newest print styles for thecoming years will be paisley designs. Thisbeautifully ornate pattern was commonly usedfor 19th century shawls manufactured in thetown of Paisley, Scotland. And the Scots gotthe idea from Kashmir shawls made in Indiaaround the 1800’s. Filled with a myriad of gor-geous colours, paisley designs add excitementand pizzazz to any décor. You'll find them insheers, in silks and more.

GREY – THE NEW BEIGE!

When it comes to colour trends, we’ll be see-ing a more glamorous and dramatic colourpalette this year. Grey is definitely the newbeige, and purple continues to be a hot accentcolour! Silver is still a key factor. Layer

several shades of grey to achieve a great result:light grey, charcoal grey, shimmering grey,paisley greys, grey stripes…with a touch of shocking purple (or this year’sHoneysuckle)… to create a wow effect! Thesecolours can also work for your wardrobe pro-viding they are in your “season” colours.

LAYERS AND…MORE LAYERS!

Designers have layered window treatment forcenturies. And, now that same luxurious feel ismoving from windows to floors! Area rugsabound in colours, shapes, styles and textures.And one of the hottest trends today is to layeryour floor: area rugs placed over carpeting notonly adds instantaneous visual interest, but canhelp give a tired carpet a fresh new look! It canalso define a space within a room..
