When you're selling your home, you're probably overwhelmed with just how much work goes into it between listing and closing. However, one area that our REALTORS® insist that you shouldn't neglect is your seller disclosure form. There are few things that can scuttle a sale quicker than a missing or inaccurate disclosure form, and failure to disclose everything required by law can come back to haunt you even if you complete the sale.

The Importance Of Full Disclosure

When adding your property to the inventory of Beavercreek homes for sale, you should take the first available opportunity to prepare your disclosure form. Virtually every home has something that must be disclosed to potential buyers. This not only ensures fair negotiation of the price but also provides transparency on the motivations behind the sale. The form protects not only the interests of the buyer but also the seller. The form will need to be signed by the buyer so they will not have grounds to pursue legal action based on any pre-existing condition of the property that is disclosed.

It isn't only the color of the leaves that changes when fall's chilly fingers spread across the region.

As the weather cools down and the leaves start to fall, the following are steps that will help your property stand out:

Our REALTORS® know today's buyers want a move-in ready home. That means major repairs or updates can be a deal-breaker or cause your home to sell for less than it should. If your home is in need of updates to any of these things, before you sell is the time to do it.

1. Roof. An aging or failing roof will strike fear in the hearts of buyers. Everyone knows that water damage can cause big headaches and thousands of dollars of damage. It can even mean that there is water damage, mold, or rot that can't be easily seen or detected. Replacing a roof is considered home maintenance so neglecting it can have an effect on how buyers perceive your home.

It's not always easy to know when it's time for a change. It could be one single "aha moment," or it could creep up on you over the course of months, or even years. Either way, when the realization hits you that your house no longer suits your needs, our REALTORS® are here to help. 

For many homeowners, the issue is simple, but also not-so-simple: You've outgrown your home. Maybe your kids have gotten too big for their shared bedrooms, or maybe your home office is slowly taking over the whole house. When that time comes, you can either add on or move on. Before you decide to put up your Beavercreek home for sale, it's best to weigh that choice carefully. 

Move or Improve

In many cases, it's sound advice to be as unemotional as possible when making big real estate decisions. But when it comes to deciding whether to move on to a new home or add onto your current one, it's hard to take feelings out of the equation. Sure, there are financial considerations too—we'll get to those in a second—but it's also important to listen to what your gut tells you.

In Beavercreek and beyond, more buyers are looking for one thing: energy efficiency. The benefits of energy efficiency are especially appealing to first-time homeowners. Many first-time buyers are especially sensitive to the costs of homeownership. They recognize that if they can save a few hundred dollars per year on energy costs, it will boost their budget.

Likewise, more people are taking an interest in reducing their carbon footprint and helping the environment. After all, the natural world is just as important here in Ohio as it is anywhere else! The big question for sellers is this: What's the best way to increase efficiency? Just like any other home renovation, you don't want to break the bank—but you do want to make a difference.
