To help you out as you embark on your real estate journey in New Orleans, LA, here’s a comprehensive home-selling guide from us.

Know the process

There are many intricacies behind the art of home-selling. One mistake here can spell the difference between a great deal and a losing proposition. This is why you must familiarize yourself with the fundamentals of this particular process to avoid costly mistakes and get the best returns on your investment.

Step #1: Prepare the home for a makeover

A home makeover can be as tricky as it is exciting. After all, you’re preparing it, not for you but for people who may want to be called its new owners. As such, staging, deep-cleaning, decluttering, and making it look good in photos are in order to increase its appeal among buyers in listings.

Step #2: Price your home right

It pays to do some research to make sure you allot a competitive price point to your home. Find out the comps of similar sold homes within your community and check out the latest trends in the local real estate market to know your home’s best pricing. Or, save yourself the trouble and ask for help in home pricing from local real estate experts like us!

Step #3: The show is on!

Now that your home has been launched into the market, keeping it house-viewing-ready and appealing to potential buyers is your next task. Cleaning on a regular basis is a must, even at times when there’s no one expected to visit.

Step #4: Go through offers

When reviewing offers, you’ll need the sharp negotiation skills of an expert agent with a whole slew of previous successful negotiations under their belt. With over 738 transactions since 2015, McCarthy Group Realtors will be in your corner with your interests in mind, representing you at the negotiating table and getting the best deal on your behalf.

Step #5: Close the deal

Once a final price and the accompanying contingencies have been agreed upon, then comes the nitty-gritty details of settling the paperwork and going through inspections and appraisals. The deal is complete once the keys change hands from you to the new homeowner.

Bonus tip

On pets. We understand how you must love your pet. Unfortunately, not everyone does. Others may even have fur-triggered allergies. Thus, it’s best to keep them out of the house during home viewings.
