The truth is there are really things sellers can’t control. But don’t worry; even though you can’t control everything, there are ways to deal with these unknowns. Buyers – Oh if only we could control buyers. They show up at odd times, they write crazy offers, they make odd repair requests and they can be difficult. One time a deal fell through because a Feng Shui Master didn’t like the color of the kitchen. The Market – Market forces determine so many things; interest rates and sales prices. While you can’t change these forces, you can get all the information you can so you’re prepared for how this affects the sale. Inspectors – You’ve loved and cared for your home, but even so there could be hidden issues that only a comprehensive, professional home inspection can uncover. One way to avoid unpleasant surprises is to put a listing home warranty in place to cover unexpected repairs. Appraisers – Appraisers are just people. On occasion they make mistakes in value. Your lender and agent will help you navigate an unfavorable appraisal. There are ways to combat a poor appraisal. Selling your home can bring unexpected issues. If you’ve done your due diligence and hired a good agent, you’ll be able to handle the unexpected issues which are out of your control.
