EnergizedSeller Announces Seven-Point Stimulus Package for Home Sellers

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS--EnergizedSeller.com, the community website filled with information on Selling a House and Staging Homes, has announced a seven-point stimulus package for home sellers who want to get their home sold quickly and for the best possible price. 

Home Sellers need to beg, borrow or steal--okay, not steal, but certainly beg or borrow--that extra $500 or $4,000 that they need to create their own home-sale stimulus package to get their home sold faster," says EnergizedSeller.com President Dan Eason. "The home seller's stimulus package--unlike the federal government’s--pays for itself." 

Selling a House can be extremely challenging today due to market conditions that haven't been seen since the late 1980s. That's why home sellers are flocking to the EnergizedSeller.com social networking website to learn how they can increase their home value

“Sellers are realizing they have to work harder to make their home stand out and look better since there are so many other homes on the market,” Eason says. 

Sellers can stimulate the sale of their home by investing in the most valuable asset most of them own. 

“We don’t know what return we’ll get from the national stimulus package, but with a proper home selling stimulus, they'll get a return that will be more than their initial investment. And once their home is sold, this stimulus shouldn’t leave any new debts," Eason says. 

The cost of preparing a home for sale is typically much less than the average price reduction that's offered on homes that aren't prepared. Sellers should do whatever they can to make cost-effective improvements to their home. An investment of $500 to $4,000 can stimulate the sale of their home, help get the home sold more quickly and help protect against price reductions. 

Here are EnergizedSeller.com's top seven home selling tips for home sellers who want to stimulate the sale of their home: 

1. Hire a Good Realtor. The national median home price dropped 15 percent in 2008 (National Association of Realtors) and the median days on the market increased to 100 days in January (Altos Research).  A home seller needs to gain every advantage they can in today’s market, and finding a good Realtor that comes highly recommended is important when marketing a home.  

2. Hire a Home Stager. A recent study by HomeGain showed that staging a home for a sale generates a return on investment of 343%. The average cost, depending on the market and needs, is $403 to $584 and can be as little as $150.  

3. Clean and De-clutter. Cleaning a home isn't much fun, but a clean home is crucial to a fast sale. A recent EnergizedSeller.com survey found that Realtors around the country picked cleaning as the top task they wanted home sellers to focus on.  Additionally, HomeGain found that an investment in cleaning and de-cluttering generates a staggering 578% return.  Cost: $0 to $500. 

4. Rent a Storage Unit. Savvy sellers remove extra furniture and household items to make their home seem larger. The return on investment is the perceived value of extra square footage. Cost: $100 to $500. 

5. Hire a Handyman. Sellers who paint, repair, install and do whatever else is necessary to make their home move-in-ready will get a great return on their investment. Cost: $200 to $2,000. 

6. Improve Curb Appeal.  For the second year in a row the Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report (www.costvsvalue.com) showed that exterior remodeling projects return the most money as a percentage of cost. Cost: $200+

There are a lot of free web sites with good home selling tips.  For example, EnergizedSeller.com offers advice on more than 40 different topics related to Selling a House and Staging A Home. Sellers who are implement as many of these suggestions as possible can get tremendous returns.

Home Staging and Home Selling Tips Newsletter - Should Seller Get Rid of Cross Collection

An EnergizedSeller.com (a resource for Selling House and Staging Homes) member recently asked whether she should get rid of their cross collection that covers an entire wall. Although the collection looks nice in the photo of the member she submitted, most of the EnergizedSeller.com professionals recommended that the collection be removed before the home is shown to buyers. Buyers should be able to envision what they would do with a room without having to see past the seller's own personal touches, and any kind of personal collection, religious or non-religious, that dominates a room can be a distraction.  Instead, pack up your collections and other personal items and sell your home more quickly.  Read More »
