Editorial Course Description

 
Selling a home is no easy task.

Regardless of that, you can eliminate a lot of wasted time and dead ends by learning more about the art of pre-selling a home.

What do we mean by “pre-selling”?

Essentially, its all about the behind-the-scenes groundwork that needs to be addressed before you actually put a house on the market.

Why is pre-selling so important? For many very persuasive reasons… 

·        To sell your home faster…

·        To close your home at higher prices…

·        To be aware of any potential deal killers or price droppers and have a chance to confront the issue on your terms instead of the buyers’…

·        To truly capitalize on the marketing potential of open houses and other home staging events…

·        To use simple strategies to educate yourself on the specifics of selling a home – increasing your confidence, control and your bottom line.

While homeowners seriously considering putting their house on the market are the most obvious of potential students, they’re hardly the only ones. Others who would benefit from enrollment include:

·        Savvy, competitive buyers looking for ways to identify and take advantage of a property’s potential weaknesses.

·        Amateur real estate professionals and those contemplating careers as realtors.

·        Couples and individuals who are entertaining the notion of selling their homes in the distant future. 

If any of these scenarios ring true for you, then don’t delay. Cathleen Glen’s How to Prepare, Stage and Sell Your Home already has a spot ready for you to fill.

Editor's Comments

How to Prepare, Stage and Sell Your Home is a natural choice for homeowners seriously contemplating switching to the role of home-seller. And, while it doesn’t require a background in the real estate or property management industry, it is necessary that enrolled students are capable and comfortable reading at high school levels.

If you’re committed to getting the greatest value out of your home, in the least amount of time possible, this course is ideal for you. But, you should keep in mind that while this class will provide you with the ideas and information that you’ll need to sell rapidly and profitably, it can’t possibly guarantee that you’ll sell it within a certain time frame or at a specified profit.

In regards to class materials, there are no mandatory textbooks or other materials. About the only thing you should plan on keeping handy is a nice notebook (spiral notebooks tend to work best) to keep track of the notes, ideas and assignments you’ll cover over the class’s seven different lessons.

She encourages you to send in pictures or problem areas in your house, apartment or property as well as before and after shots that can be shared with the class in exchange for her expert advice in regards to decorating, renovating and remedying. To take advantage of this offer, you’ll need a digital camera or scanner, but these assignments are extra credit, not course requirements.

The class is divided into seven lessons, covering topics from learning to look at your home objectively, as a seller versus the owner, to tips on what not to do to your home before selling to avoid potential turn-offs and deal busters.

And each of these seven lessons serves to satisfy 3 primary objectives:

  1. Selling your home at a profit
  2. Selling your home quickly
  3. And, perhaps most importantly, reducing stress via the power of preparation.

Your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make. Don’t waste time or money by failing to get ahead of the game. Enrollment’s always open, so don’t put it off any longer. Sign up today!
