How To Get the Very Most for Your Home, Even In a Hot Seller’s Market

Why It’s Important Not To Skip Any Steps When Listing Your Home

It seems like anyone can sell a house in Louisville’s hot seller’s market.

But, here’s the thing…

The goal should NEVER be to get a home sold or sold quickly. That’s easy!  Anyone can do that. 

The goal is to get the very MOST money for your biggest investment when you sell it.  And in a hot seller’s market that’s even MORE important.

Because if you’re going to list a home in the hottest seller’s market in history, why wouldn’t you want to get the most possible?

Buy low, sell high. That’s economics 101.

Seems obvious, but many sellers aren’t doing that right now. 

Why? 

Because they are skipping steps.

I’m sure you’ve been hearing the stories about today’s hot seller’s market from your friend, neighbor, or relative: “I went live on the market and received 15 offers right away!” or “I didn’t even need to list my home publicly, it sold so fast off-market!”

The result of this is that people think they don’t need to do much to get their home sold. That’s right, you don’t have to do much to get your home sold right now…but that’s not going to get you the very most money possible. 

It’s almost like selling your home at a pawn shop—you know it will be off your hands, but the only focus is on getting quick cash, even though you know you’re not getting the biggest return possible.

Don’t make that mistake! 

As Warren Buffett says, “Don’t get caught up with what other people are doing.” 

Other people are skipping steps and leaving money on the table.    

At first glance, you might say, what’s another couple thousand dollars?  Well, when done correctly, we are talking about tens of thousands of dollars. Think about what you could do with that kind of money!

So, how do you get the very most money for your home in today’s market? 

There are four steps. 

Most people don’t realize there is much more to selling a home than taking a few photos and throwing it on the MLS, especially if you want to sell it for the most money possible.

This is why I created my series, “Get the Most for Your House Even In a Hot Seller’s Market.” My goal is to help you maximize the profits from your biggest investment and not get “caught up in what other people are doing.”

Over the next several weeks, I’ll  share my four steps to getting the most money possible when selling your home, no matter what the market is doing.

This is a must-read series, even if you aren’t selling a home anytime soon.  Here’s what you’ll learn:

Week One: “Why You Need To Prep Your Home Before Listing, Even If It Can Sell In A Day.” In this article, I’ll talk about how to do as little as possible to your home ready to sell for the most money possible.

Week Two: “Why Selling Your Home For The Highest Price Possible Takes More Than Just Throwing It On The MLS.” I’ll talk about the strategies I use to attract the most qualified buyers to your home who are ready to make their best offer. My unique marketing strategies not only attract buyers but make them want to do whatever it takes to make your home theirs.

Week Three: “It’s Not Just About Price, It’s About What’s Hiding in the Contract.” This week we’ll talk terms and contingencies and the little known clauses in the contract that could keep you from getting to the closing table. I’ll also explain why a cash offer is not always the best offer to choose. 

Week Four: “It Ain’t Over ‘Till It’s Over.” This week, I’ll explain why going under contract is NOT the time to celebrate and why doing a specific list of things during this phase of the selling process will make or break your home sale. 

Plus a BONUS week about the pros and cons of selling your home Off-Market, since that’s such a hot topic these days.  We’ll talk about when selling off-market is the best option and how to STILL get the very most for your home, even if you don’t put it on the market. 

I hope you enjoy this series and that it arms you with the knowledge of what’s REALLY going on in today’s real estate market.
