The goal of Wolf Real Estate Professionals is to help you navigate the real estate market in Anchorage, Alaska, with ease.  Our team is more than qualified to help you prepare your home for the market and advertise it excellently and enthusiastically.  The result?  A quick sale and solid profit for you.  Here are four ways to get started:

Stand Above the Crowd – Custom designs inside and out can make your home more appealing and hook potential buyers, so consider refreshing the exterior landscaping, installing top of the line windows, or convertinga flex space to an extra bedroom. All of these add extra value to your home.  If you have specific ideas or questions, we would love to offer some guidance for your home.

Up the Curb Appeal–Buyers almost always judge a book by its cover, or rather a home by its exterior, so consider the impression the outside of your home is giving.  Is the paint chipped and peeling?  Are the gutters falling away from the house?  Is your house the ugly duckling of the neighborhood?  If you’re having a hard time removing yourself from your sentiments for your home, ask your Realtor to come by and do a 360 degree inspection of the house.  He/she will be able to lend a fresh perspective.

Take the Work Out of It–While it’s relatively easy and inexpensive to make your home pretty, it can be another matter entirely to ensure the integrity of its inner workings. From doors and appliances to plumbing and electrical systems, make sure your home’s nuts and bolts are in working order.  A home inspection is typical once you accept an offer on your home, but you can anticipate some potential issues and take steps towards resolving them.  In our experience, the more move-in ready your home is, the more quickly it will sell.

Price It Right–This is where your Realtor proves to be invaluable.  Regardless of how well you prepare your home, the most essential piece of listing your home is pricing it appropriately.  Your Realtor has access to closed listings in MLS, so he/she can check out comparable properties and for how much money they sold to help you price your home perfectly.
