Thinking of Selling Your Mesa Home? Here’s What You Need to Know.

Thinking of Selling Your Mesa Home
Homeowners have any number of reasons for selling their homes including the real estate market trends (especially if you’re a real estate investor), life changes like death, divorce, growing family, or empty nest, and relocation. Whatever your reason, Beery Realty is here to help you in the process of selling your home.

Home Inspection

By having a home inspection conducted, it serves two purposes. The first is to anticipate buyer requests that could impact the negotiated sale price. The second is to repair or replace items that are potential safety issues.
  • Repairing plumbing leaks and associated damage adds value to your home and the buyer appreciates not having to make those repairs themselves. 
  • If the roof needs to be repaired, you may choose to take care of it yourself but if it needs to be replaced, you may negotiate that into the price for the buyer. 
  • Landscape, drainage, and irrigation issues may also be remedied prior to putting your home on the market as these add to the curb appeal. 
Even if you choose to make no changes, a home inspection report gives insight for what may need to be done as part of the sale of your home.

Home Warranty
Want to give yourself and your buyer peace of mind? Extend your home warranty through the listing period and give the buyer a one year warranty as part of the purchase.

While it doesn’t cover everything, a home warranty means that if an appliance needs repair in the first year they own the home, they can get it fixed for a fee that’s likely smaller than if they didn’t have the warranty. It shows good faith from you, the seller, and could give you the edge in a tight real estate market.

Staging

Buyers don’t want to see your family photos and clutter. They should walk into your home and picture themselves eating dinner or gathering with friends, not staring at your summer vacation pictures. While photos are great, staging your home for sale could be the single most beneficial way you can help get top value for your beloved family home. Not only that, but clutter, including in the garage, makes the home seem smaller than it might actually be.

Not sure how to stage your home? I’d love to recommend someone to you!

Marketing Your Home for Sale

Along the lines of staging is how we at Beery Realty market your home. It’s not as simple as posting a sign in the front yard and waiting for the buyer. Once the home is decluttered and staged, we will have showings at recommended days and times that also fit your lifestyle; the more people we can show, the more likely we find a buyer.

The Beery Realty team works on your behalf to guide you through the process of selling your home including marketing to the right buyer so that you can focus on transitioning to your new home.

Living a Life of Gratitude

What are you grateful for?  How do we live life and be grateful every day? I am always trying to live my life with Gratitude but always need a reminder. Well, I am sure you have heard a few really good tips to living a grateful life like;  Keep a journal near your bed and either before you go to bed or right as you wake- write 4 to 5 things that you are grateful for.   Keep an empty jar nearby your work area and write down something you’re grateful for every time you feel stressed out (or perhaps when you say a certain phrase). Vow to not complain, criticize, or gossip for 30 days at a time-- If you slip, rally your willpower and keep going. Notice the amount of energy and TIME you were spending on negative thoughts and actions. We all have said it; “time is precious”, “time is money”, “time goes so fast when you are having fun” And many wise people have tried to warn us; Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ~William Penn       “You will never find

Things you can write off on your taxes when buying a home

Image
  Buying a home can be very expensive. First there's the down payment. Then there are closing costs, including fees for an appraisal, inspection, and title search. And once you own it, the expenses continue to add up, with everything from maintenance to taxes and insurance. There are some tax benefits to owning a home, though. Tax-deductible homeowner costs can reduce the amount of income tax you have to pay. What is a tax-deductible expense? A tax-deductible expense is one that you can deduct from your adjustable gross income (AGI) when you file your taxes for the year. Deducting these costs reduces your taxable income, and the lower your taxable income, the less you'll pay in taxes. When looking at potential homeowner tax deductions, it's crucial to know the differences between standard and itemized deductions. A standard deduction is a specific dollar amount that reduces the amount of income on which you're taxed, based on your filing status, age, and other
