We are often told what we \u2018should do\u2019 and how we \u2018can do\u2019 something but how often are we told directly what \u2018not to do\u2019? When we are looking to sell a home in Alaska it\u2019s important to take the time to do your research. Find out how to avoid making costly seller mistakes. Check out our Alaskan real estate “avoid list”.<\/p>\n

It can be scary working toward finding and moving into your dream home in Alaska. But you can be confident that you\u2019re making the best choices if you take into consideration these tips.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Avoid choosing the wrong realtor<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This may seem like a no-brainer, but it\u2019s actually an important thing to take into consideration. Your realtor will be your number one asset while you are selling your home in Alaska. We always have a friend that knows a friend, or a cousin that is an agent. Some may even refer to Yelp. Be sure to take the time to skip the crowdsourcing and do your own research. Here at Alaska Homes, we would be happy to help answer any questions you might have about the Alaskan Real Estate market. We can help you sell your home or help in your search for your dream home.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Avoid overpricing your home<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      One of the most important things you will do during the selling process is set the price of your home. When buying or selling a home in Alaska the price is the most important factor in the process. Your agent can work with you to find the price that fits your home\u2019s size, location, and features. This is the time to take off the emotional hat of what you think your home is \u2018valued at\u2019. You’ll want to look at what comparable homes are selling for in your neighborhood. If you work with your realtor to set a realistic selling price, you will avoid the disappointment of selling for much less than expected.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Avoid skipping preparing your home for sale<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Yes, it\u2019s exciting to think of the prospect of selling your home and moving into your dream home; however, it\u2019s also important to not neglect preparing your home to garner the best price possible. When selling your home in the Anchorage, Eagle River, Wasilla and the Mat-Su Valley, there are some important points.  It\u2019s important to take the time to touch up painting, replace broken fixtures and upgrade where you can. Remember that your old home is someone else\u2019s dream home. If you list the home too quickly, without making some touch-ups, it may be overlooked. Take the time to prepare your home to find its new owners.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Avoid skipping the inspection <\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The inspection might not seem like it\u2019s that important, especially if you feel that you\u2019ve taken good care of your property, It can save you a lot of heartache and money in the long run to get that inspection. The inspection will check the property for any structural, mechanical, or pest problems. If you have an older property, you can catch the problems sooner, and fix them. An inspection will allow you catch the issues before a buyer, so you can budget to fix them on your own terms instead of as part of the buyer\u2019s terms during negotiation.<\/p>\n

          Taking the time to do your research, find the best agent… ahem, we are here to help. Price your home wisely and inspect and prep your home for sale will save you time and money during your Alaska home selling process. We are here and happy to help answer any questions or concerns that you might have about the Alaskan real estate process, and help you with your buying and selling needs.<\/p>\n
