1. Price your home correctly
Remember that the true cost of your home is what the "market" is willing to pay for it. Your goal should be to become the best home in the best condition for the best price. Don't make the mistake of overpricing! A professional Market Analysis will ensure that your home is priced right to sell quickly.

2. Set the state
You don't have to empty your pockets to prepare your home to sell. Simply "sprucing" up can make the difference between getting a sale or not. Keep lawn & garage free of clutter. Clean EVERYTHING in & out of sight, shampoo rugs, launder curtains. Wash windows. Potential buyers love "sparkle!"

3. Lighten up
Avoid the "dungeon look" and open the shades and draperies - let the sun shine in! Make it bright and cheery. If there is a dark or dreary room or hall, install more lighting or brighter bulbs. Replace dark color schemes with neutral tones and/or fresh paint.

4. Little things mean a lot
That squeaky door, the smudge on the wall, a torn piece of wallpaper -- all those little things you've been meaning to repair -- fix them. Small defects can create big negatives in a potential buyers' mind.

5. Talk to your realtor®
Let your Realtor® know what you love about your home -- the features you value are important to us! Also inform your sales team of area highlights and gather important data such as floor plans, warranties on appliances, mortgage information, assessments -- any pertinent information related to your property.

6. Listen to your realtor®
Be open to your Realtors® advice and input. He or she will probably have ideas specific to your home & how it will show at it's very best.

7. Be scarce
With experienced Buyer Specialists, The Jansen Team can help you find the home of your dreams! With years of experience and millions in business written, we have gained the experience necessary to negotiate the best contract for you. Dial direct at 402-330-5954 and ask for one of our knowledgeable Buyers Specialists -- and start your search for that perfect home!

1. Get pre-approved
Find out before you start looking at homes what you can afford. We can recommend several lenders who will assist you in your goal. Check out our mortgage page for further information!

2. Be realistic
Realize that there are no "perfect homes". Even new construction homes can have things that need to be adjusted or repaired.

3. Don't bid blindly
Some buyers offer a contract above the true market value of the property, and some fail to bid altogether because they are unaware of the market. Don't go it alone -- use a Buyer Specialist, who can be the "watchdog" of the market for you.

4. Establish a time frame
Choose a time frame in which you would like to find and close on a new home. This will help you and your Buyer Specialist stay focused while you search.

5. Beware of "good advice"
Be wary of well intended advice from relatives, friends, neighbors and others. They can distract you from what you really want.

6. Prioritize
Keep your agent informed of your wants and needs. If there's a certain feature you want or don't want, let us know! We're happy to search for only the things that you truly want in a home.

7. Bidding low
Remember, some sellers may be upset or insulted if you make a "lowball" offer. Discuss with your Realtor® what the best strategy may be for your situation.

8. Act fast!
If the home you just viewed is "the perfect house" for you, don't wait! "Thinking it over" for a day or night may mean losing out on the home that so appealed to you!

9. Be educated
Discuss with your agent the options available on home warranties and home inspections -- know what specifically
is covered and what options are best for you and the home you are purchasing.

10. Don't be afraid to ask
A Buyer Specialist or team member is always happy to listen to your concerns or questions regarding your home purchase. Remember, buying a home is usually the biggest financial transaction a person will make in their lifetime -- choose a team that will take the worry out of your move -- call or e-mail today!
