Tips to Help You Prepare Your Home to Sell This Fall

Earning top dollar from your fall home sale means following these important tips.

If you’re preparing to put your home on the market this fall, there are a couple of important steps you need to take in order to earn top dollar for it. First, don’t make your home look like it’s still spring outside. In other words, use the fall foliage—it works just fine for a fall sale.

Fall foliage works just fine for a fall sale.

Inside, make sure the home’s paint and flooring look nice and crisp. To hear my full message about how to prepare your home for a fall sale, watch my latest video.

Why Fall Is Still a Great Time to Sell Your Home

Fall is still a great time to sell your home, and there are a couple reasons why.

If you’ve made all the necessary improvements to your home but you think you can’t get it sold because you missed the summer selling season, don’t worry. The fall is also a great time to sell your home.

" In the fall, there are still lots of sales. "

Lots of sales happen during the fall, and by listing it during this time, you won’t have to deal with as many showings and you’ll face less competition. I check the market every day, and every day there are fewer and fewer homes being listed. To hear my full message about the benefits of listing in the fall, watch my latest video.

How Is Our Summer Market in North Atlanta Doing?

What is happening in our North Atlanta real estate market? Let’s take a look at three key factors.

What is going on in the market? For one thing, interest rates are on the rise and are now sitting at
between 4.5% to 4.8%. Yet, historically speaking, these rates are still very low. When I started working
in real estate back in 1985, my first deal had an interest rate of 14.75%.

Additionally, inventory is still low and prices remain high, as well. Those who are thinking of selling
should know that now is a great time to do so. To see my full message, watch this short video.

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

testimonials from happy clients

Greg - "We had good results when we worked with Potts Realty. I worked more with Cindy, but Melida actually found us the house. They were very responsive and whenever we needed anything or would call, they actually responded right away. "

Brita - "They were very efficient. I got my home sold fairly quickly and they kept on their promises. There was an instance where we got 2 offers on the same day and before I could even call them back Cindy, who works with Melida, called both parties and asked them for their highest and best offers so she was really on the ball for that."

Dianne - "I had excellent results with Potts Realty! They gave me good advice and was able to sell the home that had been on the market for 4 years within a month! She aggressively went out and sold it and was able to get the offer within $5,000 of our asking price. She always kept us updated and everything ran smoothly!"

Rick - "They got a fair number of people coming in to look at the house and they did everything it took to make it happen. They had signs, all the advertising, and I really didn’t have to be involved. In looking for a house, they were very good at finding places that met my criteria. They had everything done so quickly!"

Sandy - "I thought Potts Realty did a very good job and I was pleased with the whole process. I was completely happy with them."

Tony - "I was very happy with them. They were informative and I couldn’t have asked for anything else. They were just there when I needed them. Years ago, Melida came to my house and told me that I should tear up my carpet and finished the floor so I did and I think that’s what sold the house."

Mary - "We had a good listing experience and it only took about 9 days to sell it. The first people that looked at the house liked it but they had a hitch and changed their mind. They ended up coming back about 2 or 3 days later and bought it. I had used a different Realtor about a year and a half before, but I was very satisfied with Potts Realty."
