6 Outdated Habits To Reset If You Plan To Sell Your Home in 2024

As we step into 2024, the Akunal-Barcelo team is here to ensure your home-selling journey is not only successful but also stress-free. In this edition of our newsletter, we’ve gathered insights to help you reset outdated habits and embrace strategies that will maximize your home’s value especially if you plan to sell your home in 2024. Let’s dive in:

1. Say Goodbye to Solo Selling

Outdated Habit No. 1: Trying to sell your house on your own

Thinking about going the For Sale By Owner route? It’s time to reconsider. Homes listed with experienced real estate agents not only sell for better prices but also benefit from invaluable industry connections. Don’t navigate the complex process alone – let us guide you to success.

2. Beyond the Highest Bid

Outdated Habit No. 2: Considering only the highest offer

It’s not always about the highest bid. Consider the buyer’s financial stability, contingencies, and closing timeline. By broadening your perspective beyond the price tag, you’ll make a smarter decision and avoid any unpleasant surprises down the road.

3. Flexibility Wins

Outdated Habit No. 3: Being inflexible for showings

Be the unicorn-friendly seller! Flexibility with showings can attract more interested buyers. By accommodating various showing times, you’ll cast a wider net and reel in more interested buyers.

4. Cash Isn’t Always King

Outdated Habit No. 4: Assuming a cash offer is always best

While cash offers seem appealing, they may not be the ideal solution. While cash is king, some investors casually make offers and then walk away. With proper vetting, a committed buyer with strong financials can oftentimes be more invested in the property.

5. Minor Repairs, Major Impact

Outdated Habit No. 5: Forgoing minor repairs

Invest a little, gain a lot! Minor repairs can significantly boost your home’s value. We have many success stories with our sellers who don’t neglect the minor repairs and often receive multiple offers with higher value for their homes. 

6. Staging Matters

Outdated Habit No. 6: Skipping staging

Staging is not just a luxury – it’s a necessity!! Experts comically compare neglecting staging to “serving a gourmet meal on a paper plate.” Make your property stand out and secure the highest price with the transformative power of staging.
