Selling Tips for Whidbey Island Homes
Selling Tips for Whidbey Island Homes
Selling a home in this market takes finesse and skill and not be tackled alone. If you have sold homes in the past on your own, now is definitely a different story. Although the market is looking up long gone are the days where one can stick a for sale sign in the front yard and have the place sold by the time they reached the door.
Sellers must plan ahead of time before listing their Whidbey Island properties. Having a skilled agent doing most of the work for you can actually save you money. It may sound odd but most FSBO home sellers price their homes so off that they end up chasing the market down lower than they would have sold with an agent.
Having an agent help sell your home is having all the area perks, industry benefits and network of buyers at your fingertips. Selling agents don’t just have the job of listing your home but of marketing you home to hundreds maybe thousands of other agents. Many agents work solely with buyers and may have a buyer ready for your home. Having an agent that knows these types of other agents or brokers can really make the deal happen much more quickly. No one wants to sit on the market for months.
A seller needs to do all they can to stand out in the crowd of this over saturated market. Having all repairs done ahead of time, all staging completed and offering flexible terms for buyers can all be great stepping stones to getting the house shown and sold. If you can’t show the house, you can’t sell the house. Don’t limit the showing appointments to certain hours of the day or with certain agents. It can be tough to have 30 minutes notice but by keeping the home in pick up ready mode it can be easier than you think.
The better you stay on top of cleaning, organizing and show ready mode, the faster the home will sell so you don’t have to be that way any longer.

Nice post, Tammy. Yes, taking care of visible repairs and fixing the place up/neutralizing it can go a long way – it will help the house sell faster and higher value. Oh, and keeping it clean and smelling fresh are really important, too.
