10 Home Selling Secrets

November 10, 2018 By Liang Group

10 home selling Secrets

Selling Secret #1: The first impression is the only impression No matter how good the interior of your home looks, buyers have already judged your home before they walk through the door. You never have a second chance to make a first impression. It’s important to make people feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive shrubs and brightly colored flowers. You can typically get a 100-percent return on the money you put into your home’s curb appeal. Entryways are also important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by putting in a small bench, a vase of fresh-cut flowers or even some cookies.

Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you never know when your buyer is going to walk through the door. You have to be available whenever they want to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape. Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It’s a little inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.

Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back. It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start envisioning their own style. If you have a little money to spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why one? Because when people see one high-end appliance they think all the rest are expensive too and it updates the kitchen.

Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your house One of the most important things to do when selling your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos, memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes. Consider hiring a home stager to maximize the full potential of your home. Staging simply means arranging your furniture to best showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of space.

Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your money back if you do a huge improvement project before you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles, cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track, fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.

Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty litter box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes. It will give buyers the impression that your house is not clean. If you’re planning an open house, send the critters to a pet hotel for the day.
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong broker. Make sure you have a broker who is totally informed. They must constantly monitor the multiple listing service (MLS), know what properties are going on the market and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find a broker who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one has many tools to get your house sold.

Selling Secret #8: Light it up Maximize the light in your home. After location, good light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let in sunshine. Do what you have to do make your house bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.

Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets Storage is something every buyer is looking for and can never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of your closets then neatly organize what’s left in there. Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and cabinets clean and tidy.

Selling Secret #10: Pricing it right Find out what your home is worth, then shave 15 to 20 percent off the price. You’ll be stampeded by buyers with multiple bids — even in the worst markets — and they’ll bid up the price over what it’s worth. It takes real courage and most sellers just don’t want to risk it, but it’s the single best strategy to sell a home in today’s market.

Chen Liang Ranked In The Top 100 Real Estate Agents on Social Media Nationwide

June 30, 2018 By Liang Group

top ranked real estate agentYou know the feeling when you put alot of work into something, and someone recognizes it?

That’s how we felt when we found out Chen Liang was ranked in the “Top 100 Real Estate Agents on Social Media” (Nationwide) by Property Spark.

Why are we so excited about this achievement? Because we believe that an online presence is important  for our clients and the future of our business.

In the Topeka and Northeast Kansas area, you will only find a handful of real estate agents who have invested in their online and social media presence. We pride ourselves on being ahead of the trend.

Investing our time and money online will produce a good return for the home sellers and home buyers we work with. We reach nearly 200,000 local people each month on our social media channels.

When we list a property for sale, the homeowner knows that their home will have massive exposure on Facebook, Instagram, google, Twitter, Zillow, Trulia, and more. This traffic helps homes sell faster and for a better price.

Another benefit to investing in social media, is transparency. You have opportunity to see who we really are. Our Values. How we run our business. What our family life is like. It is such a blessing to do life on social media with our family, friends, and community.

By following us on social media, you learn about real estate from a full time, experienced real estate agent. That knowledge will prepare you for any future home buying or selling transactions.

Lastly, we hope to inspire and support our community. You will see recommendations of local businesses, community activities and events that we think you will love.

Thank you for being apart of our social media communities. We appreciate the wonderful connections that are being made each day.

Chen Liang Nominated for Best of Topeka 2018

June 17, 2018 By Liang Group

Best of Topeka

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is a humble honor to be nominated for Best of Topeka, Real Estate Agent. The nomination has filled me with a strong sense of pride, and I am thankful for our community who believes in me.

As most of you know, I grew up in Shanghai China, and moved to the United States to attend Arkansas State University in 2011. Soon after, I married, and started a family here in Topeka, Kansas. Staying in Topeka has been the best decision I could have made. There are so many things I love about this community.

Before Real Estate, I struggled to find a job that provided enough to support my family. I had a few jobs at Chinese Restaurants, and a part time job at UPS. But my lack of experience made it difficult to find anything else. I honestly felt hopeless. Little did I know that starting my own business as a Real Estate Agent would be the hope I was looking for.

Once introduced to this business opportunity, it became a way for me make my own way, and the results were entirely based on my effort. You see, being a real estate agent is 100% commission based. This journey has taken great effort, time, and investment. I have experienced many ups and downs, failures and successes. Most of all, I have learned so much about myself, and others.

I have focused my business on quality customer service and generosity. It has been a pleasure serving families who are looking for their dream home, a home that fits their lifestyle. The joy on their face when they get the keys to their new home is priceless. I look forward to meeting many more families in the Topeka Kansas community.

Blessings,

Chen Liang
