Managing the emotions of selling your home
Regardless of the reason that you’re selling your home, the process of transacting a property comes with a range of emotions.
In some cases, it will elicit excitement, in others, there is a sense of nostalgia, and occasionally there’s impatience to just get the job done.
At imsold, we’re here with you every step of the way on the selling journey, so here’s our insider’s guide to managing the emotions that come with selling your home.
An agent you can work with
The agent you select to sell your property is critical to ensuring a smooth selling process. You want someone you can trust as an advisor who will be honest, clear in their communication, set realistic expectations, and who will be available to step you through every stage of the sale.
Their job is to help understand what you’re trying to achieve and act on your behalf to mitigate any stress involved.
The right price
An accurate valuation of your property ensures you immediately attract the ideal buyers for your home.
While it’s tempting to go with the agent who sets the highest price for your property, realistically an accurate sale price based on in-depth market knowledge speeds up the sales process, while also ensuring you attain the sale price you expect for your home.
A fond farewell
Chances are you’re selling your home for a reason, and it’s important to keep the outcome front of mind as you navigate the sales process.
To assist, it can be useful to say a mental goodbye to your property at the outset of the sales journey. That means shifting your focus from the property being something you are emotionally attached to and instead viewing it as a financial asset.
In other words, put on your business cap and consider this a strategic move. A key time to embrace this philosophy is when you are readying your home for sale. During the process of de-cluttering, tidying, and finalizing any repairs, try to look at your home through a buyer’s eyes.
Use your attachment
The reason you are attached to your property may assist your agent tell the story of your property to potential buyers.
For example, if your home has been a place of happy family memories because it was an ideal property to raise children, this can help paint a picture of the property’s attributes for buyers.
Selling is a process
Finally, it’s important to remember selling any property is a process, and it’s one that can come with both ups and downs. The best way to navigate this journey is with the assistance of an experienced agent who works with you, understands your aims, knows your sales timeline, and also appreciates there’s more to selling any home than just transacting bricks and mortar.
