Selling Your Charlotte Home This Spring---Accent the Strengths

As spring is upon us, families are looking more seriously at homes to buy. With inventory at higher levels than they have been in years; so how do you make your home stand out besides pricing it comepttively in the Charlotte market? Accent the strengths of the home.

Unless you are in a subdvison where every home is exactly the same; your house has some features or qualities about it that made it enticing for you to purchase the home. Since no two homes are alike it is crucial in this market to separate your home from the compeptiton. One of the easiest ways to do it....why someone should buy your home.

It may sound simple and it really is. Give people a reason for wanting to buy your home. It could be the reason you bought your house. It could be the location of the home in relation to stores, schools, commuting distance, neighborhood features, layout of the home, structure and design of the home. The list goes on.

But, I always ask someone who I am talking with about selling their home; "what made you buy this house?" and " What do you like most about the house?'. the answers to these two simple questions can help make the difference between getting someone to look at the house and eventually buying it; and just glancing over it and not even considering the house.

If your Realtor has not asked you; and you are not getting much activity. look at he remakrks and see what they are writing about the house. Is your Realtor portraying the house to sell? Accenting the strong features of the house? Or just listing the features and rooms in the house? Your answers to these questions could help you get your home sold.
