Planning to sell your home in New Jersey? You’ve come to the right place. In this page, we’ll take you through important steps in the home selling process and offer helpful tips on how to sell your house fast in NJ.

Work with an experienced New Jersey realtor

There’s a lot at stake when you’re selling a home. Going through such a complex transaction can be very challenging if you do it alone, so working with an experienced real estate agent is invaluable.

If you’re planning to sell your home in the counties of Monmouth, Middlesex, Mercer, or Ocean, Colleen Meyler is your go-to Realtor. Get in touch with her today.

Time your sale

Timing is everything when you’re selling a home. Data shows that you can get a larger profit and sell your house fast in NJ if you put your home on the market when inventory is low in your area and price point. Colleen follows the market conditions and will advise her clients as to the best time.

Set an ideal price

You can request a comparative market analysis or a CMA from Colleen. A CMA takes a look at homes that have recently sold in your market, using the collected data to generate an estimated price for your home.

Real estate agents will use their experience in the market and the CMA to create a pricing strategy geared towards your goals, whether you aim to sell as soon as possible, for more profit, or somewhere in between.

Preparing and listing your home

Colleen Meyler creates a listing detail that gets the attention of prospective buyers. First, she will need to make recommendations on how to prepare your home. Studies show that staged homes spend significantly less time on the market.

Perhaps you may not even need to hire a professional stager – Colleen uses virtual staging, can suggest styles, offer staging designer recommendations and other features that can get the attention of your buyer pool. Next, she will make an enticing listing description. Your listing description will give the buyer their first impression of your home. Make sure to include specs as square footage, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, age, features, upgrades, and other
important details.

Colleen will be highlighting anything unique in your homes such as architectural features, picturesque views, or close proximity to neighborhood amenities or attractions.

Negotiations

After you’ve received offers and accepted what you consider the best one, the negotiation process will start. It can be challenging, but you can rely on Colleen to negotiate on your behalf to get you the best deal possible.

Negotiations generally touch on every aspect of the sale, including which party pays for particular closing costs, whether home inspection is required, what date the seller will be expected to move out, and so on.

Once both buyer and seller come to an agreement, both parties will sign a purchase agreement which outlines every detail of the home sale.
