An Open Door Policy



One of the best ways for sellers to allay potential buyer concerns is to show them that they will get what they are paying for. Part of any smart home-selling strategy calls for sellers and their agents to anticipate the concerns of potential buyers, primary among which is the concern that they might be purchasing a home with defects. The best way to defuse this concern is to have their home inspected by a professional property inspector prior to placing the house on the market. This will help uncover problems that were not previously known to the sellers, so that they can address them and thereby remove them as potential obstacles to a sale.

Hint: If a home inspection does uncover a problem, sellers should be ready with estimates of the cost to remedy it, which can be used to expedite negotiations with potential buyers.
