Help Sell Your Home by Providing a Home Inspection

Providing a home inspection report to buyers may help your home sell easier. This report may help convince buyers that you are not trying to hide problems.

A home inspector will examine the general physical condition of your home. The inspector then submits a detailed written report on the quality and condition. This report usually lists what is in good repair, as well as current and impending possible problems.

The price of a home inspection is determined by the home's square footage, age, number of rooms, and sale price. The price range for Atlanta is usually between $200-$950.

Make Rooms Look Bigger

Painting is the number one home improvement you can do to make your home more appealing. Eggshell finish or white with just a tint of beige is the best choice in colors. Always use high-quality paint, it's not only easier to apply but it looks better too.

Off-white walls makes your rooms look bigger and helps the buyers visualize their pictures and their furniture in your house.

Atlanta Flat Fee MLS

The MLS is an agent’s primary marketing tool and a database of homes for sale. The MLS contains detailed information about each listing, with easy access for buyers who have real estate agents. It’s the MLS exposure that accounts for about 70% to 80% of all home sales.

There is a new alternative today that will allow you to place your property on the Multiple Listing Service for a one time flat fee. Instead of paying the listing agent a percentage of the sales price, usually 6%, the property is advertised to every Realtor in your local MLS region offering a commission, usually 3%, to any agent that delivers a buyer. And you retain the right to sell your home on your own and pay absolutely no commission.

For Sale By Owner Atlanta's newly developed MLS-FLAT-FEE listing plan gives sellers (Maximum Exposure) through effective use of the MLS system. Your home will be exposed to 1000's of Buyers working with local Realtors®.
