Seller Tips

1. Maximizing Exposure for Your Listing

List with Innovated Home Solutions and combine this with a newspaper advertisement. Here's an example of how your newspaper ad might look:

A newspaper ad, like the above, with a yard sign in front of your house and others around the area from other properties is all you need to get maximum exposure to sell/rent your Kankakee area property.

Buyers will Look Here First to avoid paying commission fees from a realtor.

2. Safety

Always use common-sense when selling on your own.
Get as much information as possible about a prospective buyer who wants a private showing before you allow access to your home, e.g., name, address, phone number, employment, etc.
Schedule showings when you're not home alone, or only have open houses on a certain day so people are coming and going.
Children should never let anyone in to see the house if there is not a parent or adult present.
Always think SAFETY, but not to the point where you become paranoid.

3. Legal Deeds & Forms

When buying or selling real estate you should always use the services of a lawyer/notary public. During the course of any legal transaction specific forms are required, for example in real estate there should always be a contract of purchase and sale and possibly a disclosure statement. There are various sources where these documents and others may be obtained. We offer contracts and disclosure forms for a small fee.

4. Getting Your House Ready To Sell

Before selling or buying your house certain things should be considered. Don't waste money updating your house if you won't get a return when you sell. Innovated Home Solutions offers a full In-Home Selling Analysis at a very low price to help you maximize the profits you can make without spending a lot on your house.
