What Wins A Prospective Buyer For A House?
Home selling can be a tough business with its own set of highs and lows. The sellers alone don’t have to deal with the stresses involved but their real estate agents do, too. Sellers have too many expectations from the real estate agents for them to be let down.
It is necessary for home owners to understand what prospective buyers are looking for, in order for them to have realistic expectations from their sale and real estate agent. Here’s what wins a prospective buyer for a house.

An Online Presence
If you have photos of your home with your real estate agent and they are up on their property website listings for the prospects to view: Congratulations! Your chances of having a better sale just went up. The first point of contact of your prospects will be the pictures and they will have a fair idea of what your house has in store for them before they even set foot in it.
NAR figures support this fact as 88% of buyers, 94% of whom are millennials, searched online before buying their homes. Such figures make it important for your home to have an online presence.

Presentation
TLC, MTV other TV channels have planted images of better homes in our minds. Shows like MTV Cribs have made it almost impossible to ignore the effect that presentation has on our image of the house. This means that “staging” a home during showings can allow the potential buyers to visualize their move more realistically. This can dramatically increase their chances of buying the home if they find it to be a perfect fit for their needs.

Low HOA Costs
The younger buyers are not typically looking for houses that have special assessments (HOA = Home Owner’s Assessments). They may even be hesitant in buying a house altogether if they fear that there will be dues for the assessments done that will come out of their pockets. Although, the prospect of a house that qualifies for an FHA loan might be all too appealing to these younger buyers.
