Do You Really Want to Sell Your Home in Fairfax VA?

Many Fairfax  VA homeowners say they want to sell their home, but their actions say otherwise. They do not clean, paint, make repairs, or update the home before it goes on the market, and expect homebuyers to pay full price without making any seller concessions. To make matters worse they have no sign on the property, they do not want a lockbox, and they want “appointment only!” Any full time seasoned Fairfax VA real estate agents will tell you up front that of these combine to make the total kiss of death in the sale of your home. The only thing that will occur is the MLS listing will expire; they will fire several listing agents, or the home will not appraise.
 
Today’s real estate market has to accommodate the fact that the Fairfax VA real estate market today is driven by many different factors than just a few years ago. Buyers are in short supply, and those that are in the market are very nervous of buying a home. Mortgage lenders are not making it any easier for all parties involved. They will not lend money on a home they feel is a risk. For the most part, that means the home must be very clean, show very well, be well maintained, have recent updates, and not be in need of major repairs.
