There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: Beware.  Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions: "How does your home compare to others like it in Columbus, Dublin, Powell and Southern Delaware?" "How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" "What about financing? Can you help?" "If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" "Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?" "Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?" Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different, and every homebuyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? Almost all homes are sold using a real estate agent. As a top real estate professional, it is my job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing. Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in Columbus, Dublin, Powell and Southern Delaware and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers: "Try to steal this one." If you must sell your own home, at least let me give you a sense of its true market value. Tell me a bit about your home, and I'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis and let you know what I feel it is worth. I'll also describe, as an experienced, top Columbus, Dublin, Powell and Southern Delaware real estate agent, how I would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached.  Don't price your home by yourself! It's my job to analyze the Columbus, Dublin, Powell and Southern Delaware market and determine the true value of your property. It's FREE and without obligation... 
Selling Your Home >Keeping Your House Safe
Home safety precautions are always important, but it is especially important to make your home "accident-proof" while it is on the market. Many strangers will be coming through your home who won't be aware of the minor hazards that you and your family instinctively avoid.
Go through your home with an eye for potential hazards. Remove the obstacles that you can and post "watch your head" or "watch your step" signs where they are needed. Look for loose banisters, uneven steps, precariously placed plants, art objects or anything else that could fall on someone, wet spots on bath or kitchen floors, toys that someone might fall over and anything that you have to step over or duck under. Make sure that rugs will not slip, especially those at the bottom of stairs. There aren't many things that will more quickly dampen a buyer's enthusiasm for a house than a bump on the head or an unexpected trip down a flight of stairs.
