5 Service You Didn’t Know a Realtor5 Services You Didn't Know a Realtor Provide® Provides When Selling Your Home

If you have ever found yourself asking "Do I really need a Realtor to sell my home?" then this post is for you! Now more than ever it can be easy to oversee the benefit that a Realtor provides. In today's blog post, we are sharing five services you didn't know a Realtor provides when selling your home. More than putting a sign in the yard, a good Realtor make a BIG difference when selling your home. 

1. Strategy

When selling your home in today's housing market strategy is key to getting your home sold. Prior to listing your home a good Realtor will do a consultation to talk about the strategy they see is best to get your home sold, specifically pricing and preparing inside and outside of the home.

When it comes to pricing your home, our agents will finalize pricing based off what is beneficial to you/the home value, your personal timeline, and the market timeline.

Preparing the inside and outside of your home can be one of the main stressors for sellers. The number one question we receive is "Where do I start?". Your Oakridge Realtor will help guide you in what should be prioritized to attract buyers.

2. Connections to Local Vendors

Did you know that 52% of homeowners report being stressed about making home improvements or preparing their home for sale? A Realtor can get you connected with local vendors right away to assist with all needed projects.

3. Staging

Rearranging existing furnishings, clearing countertops and removing personal items will make a big difference in photos and for buyers when walking through your home. When buyers are walking into a home it is important to create an environment that they can envision themselves living in. At Oakridge our Realtors will assist in staging your home by using existing items or bringing their own personal furnishing to make your home shine. 

4. Scheduling & Communication

A big part of a Realtor's job is to handle all communication so you don't have to. Your Realtor will schedule showings, questions regarding your home, and any feedback. For many sellers who are working a full-time job, the last thing you want is to be constantly answering phone call after phone call. Let your Oakridge Realtor handle the scheduling for you.

5. Paperwork

The last thing that you want to make a mistake on is the paperwork. From gathering all legal documents, navigating negotiations, escalation clauses, deed to the house and more, sellers always underestimate how much paperwork is needed for the sale of your home. Your Oakridge Realtor will walk you through all needed documents and submitted offers.
