Preparing to Sell Your Lexington Park Home


Experienced agents know what puts prospective buyers off when they view a home, especially Lexington Park. For example, when buyers find dirty dishes in the sink, notice offensive pet odors or spot obvious stains suggesting a leaking roof they begin to devalue the property. Some buyers may decide to pass on the house completely while others may think about making an offer way below the asking price. So, a good agent’s first step is to help the homeowner see the house as others will see it and take care of problems.

And before the house goes up for sale, experts recommend a fresh coat of paint.

Lexington Park FAIR MARKET VALUE


Setting the right price is an important first step in getting a home sold. Sellers often wonder if they should spend $200 to $400 for a professional appraisal of their Lexington Park real estate before placing it on the market.

WAYS TO DETERMINE VALUE IN Lexington Park


A professional appraiser's opinion of a property's market value is based on the recent sales of similar Lexington Park real estate. Different appraisers could come up with different numbers. Even if all of them agreed on a value, there is no guarantee that you would receive that amount for your property. An alternative to a professional appraisal is to ask a professional Realtor for a written market analysis of your property. This analysis will include information about recent home sales in your neighborhood, as well as how those homes compare to yours.

Lexington Park BENEFITS


A benefit is an advantage or something that promotes or enhances well-being. A Lexington Park benefit might be its location, its home styles, its diversity and/or its proximity to major highways, employment, education and shopping. Whether or not any of these factors are or are not a benefit depends entirely on the point of view of the potential buyer. For example, being close to a major airport might be important for someone who flies a lot and an annoyance to someone who never flies and dislikes the noise of airplanes flying overhead.
