To acquire the ideal sale, there are some things you should check and do before placing your home on the market.


For starters, you should repair problems that need attention; like fixing plumbing leaks and broken sprinkler heads. 


A fresh coat of paint does wonders and is relatively inexpensive to spruce up your house and attract buyers.


Running a sale, weekly special or open house event is a unique way of promoting your home and getting more buyers to visit.  


FPH customizes the marketing campaign to fit your specific needs and schedule.

Do you like the idea to close quicker?

Once you have made the necessary repairs and given the house an impressive finishing touch, you will be ready to close on any offer that may come your way. The goal is to remove your personal identity from the property so buyers can establish their own.


Staging is the process of placing furniture in strategic places of an otherwise empty house, so that visitors can envision how the home will look once they move in. It is worth paying a professional to stage a house, because they are more in tune with the latest trends and styles, for eye-catching results.

Things Sellers Should Know

Selling is an Emotional Experience

Anything can happen, at any time, that could alter your life style. A new job that requires you to move to a different area or increase in your wage, a marriage or divorce, birth of a child, the death of your spouse, or maybe the house has become just too much to handle. The bottom line is that any postive or negative circumstance can influence the emotional decision to sell your home. 

Your Emotions Are Your Worst Enemy

If you lived in your home for many years, you may work against yourself because you have many memories associated with your home and you put alot of money into personalizing the home with upgrades. Your attachment to your home can cause biases and foster percieved home value based on your efforts driven by emotion. This type of thinking can possibly lead to incorrect expectations and emotional barriers.  Or...


When listing your home you may not be satisfied with finding the deal you have in mind. The sale price is not high enough or the commission seems too expensive. The truth is the current market and condition of the property dictate the price point. 

Setting A Fair Price

Selling too low, cuts a seller's profit, but pricing too high can scare buyers away. Setting the right market value and preparing the home is critical. 


In order to maximize your sales price, it is vitally important to perform an honest assessement of the home and determine a strategic improvement plan to raise the value of the property, and present the property to buyers as best as possible. For example: a seller with limited home preparation budget simpy decluttering, painting a few rooms and washing the rugs can make a huge difference; and for sellers with a sizable budget: staging the home, remodeling the floor plan, or updating kitchens and baths can attract affluent buyers.


Florida Property Homes composes a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), before listing the property. The CMA is based on your home's current condition and features, your neighbor's homes that are listed for sale, homes that have recently sold, as well as, a few other factors. The CMA report and home improvement plan is crucial to help the seller understand their home's market value and choose thier listing price.

Disclosures Are Usually Revealed By Inspection

Problems concerning the structural integrity of a home is at the top of the list. By Florida law, when the seller is aware of significant property damage or performed repairs to the home, like plumbing, electricity, termite damage, infestation, fire, toxins and environmental hazards, they must be revealed the issues to potential buyers prior to purchase. 

It is usually a good practice to hire an inspector when preparing your home for sale. If the inspector discovers a problems, the seller must either make the necessary repairs or must reveal the problem and be prepared to negotiate a lower price upon the buyer's request. 

Finding Where To Relocate

Looking for another place to resettle your family can be difficult, unless you are familiar with an area. There are many factors to consider when you choosing the area to relocate, like schools, religious institutions, distance to your job or shopping center, and especially your desired home features, requirements and budget. Performing your own due diligence and working closely with our us makes this process easier because together we will form a focused relocation strategy to find a property that best meets your needs in a community of your choosing.
