What If You Can’t Sell Your Property?
Selling your house is a huge decision. Naturally, you’ll want to get as much as possible out of the sale. Your goal might be to get a portion of your initial investment back, make a profit, or earn enough to finance another real estate purchase.
“Real estate is an imperishable asset, ever-increasing in value. It is the most solid security that human ingenuity has devised. It is the basis of all security and about the only indestructible security.”
- Russell Sage
What Influences the Cost Of a Property
A number of factors influence the value of a property and what buyers will be willing to pay for it.
Your property itself and the shape it is in are important factors:
1. Location. A property located near a public transit hub, a grocery store, or in a good neighborhood with a highly rated school district is more valuable than those with similar characteristics but located elsewhere. Also, any businesses in the area that could be a nuisance, like bars or a landfill, can negatively influence the price.
2. The size and layout of your home. A larger home is worth more as long as the layout is convenient. Fewer but larger rooms and lots of open space are usually more desirable.
3. When your home was built. A recent home or a house that is old enough to be considered historical is usually worth more.
4. Upgrades. Adding a patio, deck, or upgraded appliances will boost the value of your property.
5. Repairs. Necessary repairs such as replacing the plumbing, air conditioning system, roof, windows, or re-wiring the house raise the value of the house.
6. Outside influences. Other influences like noises, traffic, and the view can also affect the price.
These factors influence the value of your property, but so does the current state of the local market. You’ll get more for your property if you sell it at a time when there are fewer similar properties available on the market. The overall state of the economy and mortgage qualification requirements also influence what you can get for your property.
The same property can be sold at different prices in different situations. It might only take a year or two for a local real estate market to change. It’s sometimes worth it to wait before putting your home on the market if you cannot get an ideal price right away.
The best way to get an idea of how the local market will impact the selling price is to simply look at transactions for similar properties in your area. This should give you an idea of how much buyers are willing to pay and you’ll see which other options are available to potential buyers in the area.
“Before you start trying to work out which direction the property market is headed, you should be aware that there are markets within markets.”
- Paul Clitheroe
Inspections, Appraisals, and Disclosures
Buyers need to have a property inspected by a professional before closing the sale. In fact, the inspection is usually included in the purchase contract. This is the best way to protect buyers from bad surprises such as pest problems, mold, structural damages, and other costly repairs.
As a seller, consider having an inspection and an appraisal done before putting your property on the market. Scheduling an inspection will allow you to ensure that there are no major issues with the property. Finding out about a major issue during the pre-sale inspection means that you will probably lose the sale or that the buyer will be able to negotiate a lower price.
Schedule an inspection with a professional licensed by the American Society of Home Inspectors. You can hire professionals who specialize in a specific type of issue, such as pest control or health hazards, if you think there is an issue with your home.
Once you know more about the overall state of your property, you can decide if fixing the issues is worth it. It might be easier for you to lower your price and let the buyer pay for the repairs.
Small issues like cracks in the walls, leaking faucets, or broken gutters are very easy and inexpensive to fix. Even applying a new coat of paint inside or outside of your home can make a difference. These small repairs will make your home look great and you’ll be able to ask a higher price. It also makes it easier to find a buyer.
The mortgage company that finances the buyer’s purchase will ask for an appraisal of your property. However, you can have an appraisal done when you decide to put your home on the market to get an idea of what its value is.
Look for an appraiser who is licensed and consider hiring more than one professional so you can compare their opinions. Provide them with details on repairs and upgrades you’ve made over the years.
There are state laws regarding what should be disclosed to buyers. It’s important to learn about the laws that apply to you. You might have to let buyers know about the repairs you’ve made, the natural disasters that affected the property, or if a violent crime was committed in the house.
“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
Your Options to Sell Your Home
There are different ways to list and sell a property. Your best option depends on how much time you have and how much you’re willing to put into selling your home.
Using a Real Estate Agency or an Independent Realtor
This is your best option if you want to have as little to do as possible with the selling process. The advantage is that there’s no work required on your part and you’ll save a lot of time. The right agency or realtor will promote the listing, show your home to potential buyers, and ensure that buyers are qualified and serious.
The downside is that you don’t know how actively an agency or a realtor will promote your home until you start using their services. You usually have to enter a contract with the agency or realtor you want to use so you might have to keep using their services for a certain amount of time.
Typically, using an agency or an independent agent will cost you 7% of the selling price, but the realtor who represents you might negotiate a lower price or even set a lower original price to sell the property more easily.
In the end, using a real estate agency or hiring an independent realtor means you’ll get a little less for your property. However, the right agency or realtor will make selling your property a lot easier, especially if you’re too busy to promote it and show it yourself.
Sell Your Home Yourself
An increasing number of homeowners opt to sell their home themselves since the Internet has made it easier to promote a property. There are many websites where you can list your home for sale. Finding a buyer is possible as long as you can dedicate some of your time to selling your home.
The downside is that selling your home by yourself can take some time. You’ll have to communicate with potential buyers, answer their questions, and show them your home. You might feel that you’re wasting your time when a potential buyer falls through.
This is a good option if you are patient and willing to learn about real estate. You will save the fees that a realtor or an agency would charge for their services and will have full control of the negotiations with the buyer.
“Every sale has five basic obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire, no trust.”
- Zig Ziglar
Choose the Right Independent Realtor
If you decide to use a realtor, look for a realtor or an agency that is affordable and that will actively promote your listing.
Follow these steps to find the right real estate agency or independent realtor:
1. Research. Look for online reviews, ask for references, and find out how long they’ve been in business.
2. Look at the other listings they have in your area. Selling your home might not be a priority if an agency or realtor already has several other similar properties listed in your area.
3. Learn about their marketing plan. How will they promote your listing? Ask about the prospects who will likely be interested in your property, and how they will reach out to these buyers.
4. Ask about their credentials. If you want to work with an independent realtor, ensure they have a license and ask about their other credentials.
5. How much do they charge? Find out what percentage of the selling price they will take as a commission.
6. Ensure the agency or realtor you choose is easy to get in touch with. They should be willing to answer your questions and be open about the way they work.
7. Ask some questions about the local market. Avoid agencies and realtors who don’t seem to know a lot about similar houses for sale in your area and about the prices of similar properties.
It’s important to avoid feeling pressured to hire a specific realtor just because you called to ask a few questions. Also, avoid working with someone who is a part-time realtor since they might not be able to promote your home as actively as you would like.
It is best to choose a professional or an agency that is familiar with your local market and that has sold properties in your area. There’s no substitute for real experience!
Houses are like people - some you like and some you don't like - and once in a while there is one you love.
What to Know if You Want to Sell Your Property Yourself
Selling your home yourself allows you to save that 6 or 7% commission. The downside is that you have to invest some of your time and resources into promoting your listing. Decide whether or not you want to sell your home yourself once you have a better idea of what promoting a property entails.
Selling your home yourself means you will not benefit from the advice of an experienced realtor to set your asking price. You can set a reasonable price by doing a lot of research and by having a professional appraise your property. Setting an asking price that is slightly under current market prices may make your home easier to sell.
Be careful not to overprice your property. Potential buyers won’t even look at your property if the original asking price is too high.
Marketing Tips
Consider implementing these tried and true ideas:
1. Use the MLS. Listing your property with the Multiple Listing Service is a good start since this network will share your listing with several outlets. You can also list your home on Craigslist and on other classifieds sites.
2. Take out ads. Local publications are another good way to promote a property for sale. Purchase an ad in a local newspaper and look for local publications that specialize in publishing real estate listings. You can also draw attention to your property by placing a sign in your yard or by printing flyers and asking local businesses to put them up.

My husband and I just closed on our dream home thanks to Ted. We were first time home buyers and didn't have a clue as to what was entailed in the home buying process. Ted reached out to me about a house I was looking at online. He agreed to meet up with us and show us the house. This was on a Sunday afternoon. He answered all of my questions and explained the process to me. He sent me written information as well as kept in touch by phone with anything he thought I need to know. He got to know my husband and I to help figure out the type of home we were looking for. He went above and beyond to help us find our dream home. He is definitely a go-getter. We absolutely love our home and we gained a new friend in the process.

Ted is a down-to-earth and truly caring person that is an expert in his field. As first-time home-buyers, we felt like we took a crash-course with Ted's excellent advice following us as well as guiding us all the way through. Ted is also a very patient man. With all of the multiple things that we learned as we went, occasionally we changed our minds about the size of the yard we'd accept or the age of the house or the number of renovations we were willing to make, and Ted stuck by us as we switched it up multiple times. He provided valuable advice and was always willing to answer my questions and my husband's questions no matter how small or inconsequential. Within a day he would get back with an answer or at the least a contact/resource to help us move forward. He had good ideas for inspectors, costs, issues we might face, and an understanding of just about every neighborhood in the Acadiana area, from resale values to noisiness and traffic issues, and a number of other knowledgeable things that only a person who is committed to his work and has a number of years experience would know. Finally, Ted was honest - and let's face it, in this world that is priceless. So don't even question it: Go with Ted - he works for his living very hard because he works for his clients day and night, with the best intentions, the best resources, and the best attitude one could hope for during the difficult process of buying home. I would definitely use his services again. Team Ted all the way.

You’re the best!

When we decided to put our home up for sale, there was no question that Ted Daigle with EXP Realty would be our listing agent. We have known Ted personally for many years and knew he would be the best choice based on his personality, professionalism and his knowledge of the local real estate industry. There was no doubt that Ted with EXP Realty stood out as the best our area has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell he put a lot of work into his listings.
We spoke with Ted and then met with him at our home. He spent ample answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Ted made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like giving us staging tips, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more.
When we saw our listing we were blown away. The drone footage, video, and photography that he incorporated were priceless. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. The first potential buyer that saw the property put in an offer.
Our house went under contract 7 days after we put it on the market at 1% under asking price. We accepted and Ted (and his assistant Myka, who was also incredibly knowledgable, friendly and helpful) walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience.
I've recommended Ted with EXP Realty to everyone I know. He's a true professional and just one of those guys that you would love to know. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better realtor.

Trustworthy, dependable, and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend working with Ted. The team he has is amazing as well!

Working with Mr. Daigle was a very good experience. Ted takes his job seriously as well as his clients. Ted is very flexible and understanding in which you will experience while working with him. He is also a personable person and easy to like. Ted also looks out for the best interest of his clients in which I haven’t seen with a lot of other real estate agents I have worked with. I strongly recommend Ted Daigle as a real estate agent if you are buying or selling a home.

Ted Daigle has been a great realtor so far we are in the process of buying our first home he is so patient with us and very knowledgeable. We toured a lot of homes and he was very helpful and understanding to find our wants and needs in a home. We highly recommend Ted to anyone looking for a realtor that is very patient not pushy and makes the home buying process easy.

Ted Daigle is everything a realtor should be (and so much more!). First, he makes the whole process extremely smooth and easy. This includes things like paperwork, finding bids, etc., but it also includes how likeable of a guy he is, which makes the process more fun. Second, he goes above and beyond his job duties. (After closing, he helped the seller move her flowers/plants out of the yard: he was worried about her getting heatstroke, and he know this would mean the yard would be 100% mine sooner, rather than later [I had given the seller an extension for removing plants/flowers.]
Third and most importantly, he actually has the client’s best interest in mind! Other realtors will prefer a high sales price, even if they are representing the buyer, since this increases their commission. By contrast, Ted worked so hard to get me the best deal possible! This meant he made less money, but that doesn’t matter to him, because he truly wants the best for his clients.
Had I chosen a different realtor (or none at all), I would have ended settled for an overpriced, problematic house. Thanks to choosing Ted, I ended up purchasing my dream home, and paying less for it than the worse alternatives I would have settled for.

He had good ideas for inspectors, costs, issues we might face, and an understanding of just about every neighborhood in the Acadiana area, from resale values to noisiness and traffic issues, and a number of other knowledgeable things that only a person who is committed to his work and has a number of years experience would know. Finally, Ted was honest - and let's face it, in this world that is priceless. So don't even question it: Go with Ted - he works for his living very hard because he works for his clients day and night, with the best intentions, the best resources, and the best attitude one could hope for during the difficult process of buying home. I would definitely use his services again. Team Ted all the way.

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said about Ted and his staff! He is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you are satisfied with whatever it is you are looking for. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.
