Where to Seek Honest Advice When Selling Your Westfield Home

June 30, 2018 by Scott Gleason

Homeowners tend to attach far too much sentimental value to their homes. They can’t separate feelings from a home’s monetary value. Thus, it proves difficult to decide whether your property could stand up to the scrutiny of potential buyers. That’s when you need to seek advice from outside sources. But where do you go to get honest advice when selling your Westfield home?

When selling your Westfield home, it can be hard to separate sentimentality with actual monetary value. Where can you get an honest opinion before you list?

Whose Opinions Matter Most When Selling Your Westfield Home?

When it comes to selling your Westfield home, a real estate agent provides perhaps the most informed opinion of what improvements you should make before putting your home on the market. They’re in the trenches every day. They personally see what buyers are looking for on a daily basis. What’s on trend? What parts of a home do buyers value most? They can answer these questions quickly and honestly. Therefore, you need to talk to as many different Westfield REALTORS® as necessary. Only settle on the one you feel the most comfortable with.

Home Stagers

Next, you might want to talk to a home stager when selling your Westfield home. For a couple hundred dollars, they will walk through your property and prepare a report on which areas of your home need improvement as well as which areas you should play up for potential buyers. Keeping original elements of an older home but using them in a newer, refreshing way always appeals to buyers. Don’t know which home stagers to trust? Ask your REALTOR® for recommendations.

Open Houses

After finding a real estate agent and consulting a home stager, you might want to visit open houses in your neighborhood. They provide an excellent way to see what other homes on the market currently look like. Taking a close look at your competition helps you assess how your home compares to others. Then, you’ll know where your strengths and weaknesses lie.

Friends and Family

Finally, turn to friends and family. Take pictures of different rooms in your Westfield home. Then, share them privately with friends and family members on social media, via email or through texts. You can set up private groups or share them directly with individuals you trust. Ask them what they see in the pictures. How’s the lighting? Do they like the decor? What would they change, if anything? Seeking out multiple opinions helps you form a better picture of how your property looks to others.
