7 Steps To "Safe Selling" That Every Home Seller Should Consider

Contact Bruce Webb for any real estate questions you may have! Bruce Webb, Associate Broker, Coldwell Banker Preferred bruce@brucewebb.com www.brucewebb.com (734) 392-6021

1) Do an honest, detailed "Seller's Disclosure".  Check with your agent and/or attorney for details.

2) Offer a "Home Warranty/Protection Plan" to the buyer of your property.  Ask Bruce Webb for "Home Warranty Policy Checklist...For Sellers".

3) Remove valuable personal property like jewelry, etc. before allowing your home to be shown.

4) Have a lock-box system placed on or by the front door.  If this is not possible, have some other system to track who shows the property.

5) Have all necessary inspections that can be done before buyers look at your property.  Examples include, but are not limited to building codes, municipality inspections, title work, etc.  This lessens the chance of you losing a buyer due to a surprise after accepting a contract.  Ask Bruce Webb about "The 8 Interior Items That Buyers REALLY Notice".
