Selling Success

Success at Selling Your Bozeman Real Estate or Home:

  When conversing with real estate agents, you will often find that when they talk to you about buying real estate, they will refer to your purchase as a "home." Yet if you are selling property, they will often refer to it as a "house." There is a reason for this. Buying real estate is often an emotional decision, but when selling Bozeman real estate you need to remove emotion from the equation.

You need to think of your house as a marketable commodity. Property. Real estate. Your goal is to get others to see it as their potential home, not yours. If you do not consciously make this decision, you can inadvertently create a situation where it takes longer to sell your Bozeman real estate.

The first step in getting your home ready to sell is to "de-personalize" it.

Make Your Home "Anonymous"

If there is a new home development near your home, take a tour.  It doesn't matter what size the homes are.  What you will find are some wonderfully (but sparsely) furnished homes that anyone could live in -- with the emphasis on "anyone."  They are anonymous.   There may be a baseball glove in the boy's room, but no family photos on the walls.

There may be "personality" - but no person.

The reason you want to make your Bozeman real estate "anonymous" is because you want buyers to view it as their potential home. When a potential homebuyer sees your family photos hanging on the wall, it puts your own brand on the home and momentarily shatters their illusions about living in the Bozeman real estate themselves.

Put away family photos, sports trophies, collectible items, knick-knacks, and souvenirs. Pack them away since you will have to eventually anyway. Rent a storage area for a few months and store the items in the storage unit. 

Do not just put the box in the attic, basement, garage or a closet. Part of preparing a house for sale is to remove "clutter," and that is the next step in preparing your house for sale.

Make sure there is even and adequate flow through the house. You don't want buyers bumping into items or furniture as they tour. If the home has an unavoidable issue there just isn't much you can do but emphasize something else in it's place.

By staying unemotional and de-cluttering the Bozeman real estate you are surely on the road to selling success. Please call me anytime you have Bozeman real estate questions or need some help staging or listing your home.
