Tips for sellers in Acton
Fix the small things first
A dripping faucet or a sticky door can make buyers wonder what else was missed.
Clear the counters
Less on every surface makes rooms look bigger in photos and in person.
Stay show-ready
A quick reset each morning makes a last-minute showing easy to say yes to.
Ian did an outstanding job in walking us through the process of listing and selling our house in Acton MA. From strategy on when to list to helping us prepare our home with photos, videos, staging, lighting ...he oversaw it all. Without Ian, we would have never gotten the offer (way above asking) that we actually got. I highly recommend Ian to anyone who is looking for a highly capable realtor.
Questions sellers ask
When is the best time to sell?
It depends on your plans and on how many homes are for sale near you. Ian McGovern can walk you through what’s happening in Acton right now.
Should I make repairs before I list?
Fix anything that’s broken and anything an inspector would flag. Talk bigger projects through with Ian McGovern before you start one.
Do I need to leave during showings?
It’s best if you do. Buyers feel more comfortable looking around and talking openly when the owner isn’t home.
What does it cost to sell a home?
Costs usually include commissions, closing costs and any repairs you agree to. Commissions are negotiable and aren’t set by law. You’ll get an estimate of what you walk away with before you list.
