Someone else’s clutter distracts buyers from really seeing any property they are touring. It also gives the impression that the home is too small or lacks ample storage space. Clear all surfaces and keep closets and cabinets organized during home tours so that buyers can imagine themselves and their possessions fitting comfortably. A tidy appearance creates the relaxing feel buyers are looking for.⠀ --⠀ #forsale #sellertip #openhouse #homesale #moving #newhome #realtortip #realestate #realestatetip #homebuyers #santacruz #santacruzrealtor #santacruzagents #clutter #cleaningtip #stagingtip #dreamhome (at Santa Cruz Agents)

Talk to your agent about how much competition there is for the type of property you are looking for and determine how competitive you want to be in your negotiations. Before looking at homes, establish a negotiation strategy with your agent that is catered to your goals and your local market. #buyertip #househunting #homesearch #newhome #moving #realestateagent #santacruzagents (at Santa Cruz Agents)

Home buyers are shopping for much more than a home, they are shopping for a lifestyle. When staging your home for showings, create the lifestyle people are looking for in your area. Set out patio furniture, create inviting table settings, hang a fancy robe in the bathroom. Remember, though, you are appealing to the masses, so don’t go too niche.⠀ --⠀ #sellertip #homesale #realestate #realestateasales #realtortip #staging #openhouse #openhousetip #realtor #santacruz #santacruzlife #santacruzhomes #santacruzagents #santacruzrealestate #californiarealestate #sellmyhouse #dreamhome #lifestyle

Before you commit to a home, make sure you are comfortable with your new commute and regular traffic conditions. You can try driving your commute at your regular time, or just keep an eye on traffic reports for a few days to see what is typical for your route.⠀ --⠀ #newhome #homesearch #househunting #realtortip #buyertip #buyerlife #realestate #realestatetip #moving #commute #traffice #santacruzagents #santacruzhomes #santacruzrealestate

You adore your pets, but potential buyers are not going to look at them with the same love in their eyes. Pets in a home make buyers suspicious of floor damage, odor problems, and other dirty issues. When showing your home, hide any indication that there are pets living there.⠀ --⠀ #pets #buyers #openhouse #realtortip #realestate #realestatetip #santacruzagents #santacruzrealestate #quickupgrade #sellmyhouse #sellertip #homeforsale

Good interior and exterior lighting gives your home the welcoming feel and convenience potential buyers are looking for. Brighten up every room in your home by opening up drapes, trimming encroaching foliage, cleaning windows, and installing high-lumen light bulbs. Install exterior lighting along footpaths and to highlight landscaping.⠀ --⠀ #lighting #openhouse #staging #forsale #realestate #realtortip #homeforsale #sellertip #realestatetip #fsbo #homereno #homeupgrade #homeimprovement #remodel #santacruz #santacruzrealestate #santacruzrealtor #santacruzagents #santacruzhomes #californiahomes #californiarealestate

Make sure you understand agency and who works for whom. Anytime you meet a seller’s agent, exercise discretion. Revealing things like your timeline, your budget, or the fact that you are absolutely in love with the property gives them an edge up when negotiating the terms of sale. An experienced seller’s agent can do a lot of damage with even the smallest piece of information. If you encounter a nosey agent and are unsure of how to dodge their questions, just say, “You’ll have to ask my agent, I hired them to answer these types of questions for me.”⠀ --⠀ #realtortip #realestatetip #homebuyer #househunting #escrow #homesale #newhome #dreamhome #homesearch #realestate #homebuyers #homeseller #buyer #buyerlife #santacruz #santacruzrealestate #santacruzhomes #santacruzagents #californiarealestate #californiahomes #negotiate (at Santa Cruz, California)

Shopping for a home can get hectic quickly. To make your search easier, create a checklist to reference and take notes on during home tours. It will help you remember to check on all your must-haves at each home, and you'll be grateful to have the notes when trying to compare everything you've looked at later on.⠀ --⠀ #househunting #homebuyers #realtor #realestate #realtortip #buyertip #homebuying #homesearch #dreamhome #homegoals #preapproved #moving #newhome #buyerslife #cahomes #santacruzhomes #santacruz #santacruzrealestate #hometour #homesweethome #santacruzagents (at Santa Cruz, California)

Finding a property that has every feature you want is often difficult, if not impossible. That doesn’t mean a home for you isn’t out there. Prioritizing your wants versus your needs can take a lot of frustration out of the search process, and will leave you more satisfied with the home you do choose to purchase.⠀ --⠀ #househunting #homesearch #homebuyers #newhome #homegoals #realestategoals #dreamhome #moving #wantsvsneeds #buyertip #realtortip #realestatetip #santacruz #santacruzagents #santacruzhomes #santacruzliving #santacruzlife #california #santacruzrealestate #californiarealestate #goals #success #priorities #buyertip (at Santa Cruz, California)

The lending process can be a long and complicated one, and your lender will check on your employment and income multiple times before all is said and done. Until the keys are in your hand, don’t take any action to change your employment status, such as going on maternity leave. A sudden change in employment could disqualify you from your home loan.⠀ --⠀ #homebuyers #homeloan #mortgage #homefinancing #escrow #inescrow #firsthome #sold #offeraccepted #homesearch #househunting #mortgagetips #realestate #realestatetips #realtortips #lendertips #santacruz #santacruzrealestate #california #californiarealestate #santacruzagents (at Santa Cruz, California)
