Wanting to Sell Your Home? Call Us First!

Selling your home can be a little overwhelming, no matter how many times that you’ve sold a home before. Between making repairs and upgrades, getting the home listed, and getting enough prospective buyers to see the home, a lot of things have to come together. What happens if you make a mistake?

The good news is that you never have to go through the process alone. First National Title is one of the leading providers of closing services in Arkansas, and we’re here to take the worry out of selling your home. We suggest starting with a few general questions:

How do you get the best sale price?

There are several inexpensive improvements that help you get a better offer. Mowing the lawn and adding a fresh coat of paint are cheap and easy, and kitchen and bathroom upgrades typically pay for themselves when you sell. Also remember that real estate is cyclical, so if you have any flexibility on your listing date, you could get a substantially higher sale price if you catch the market on an upswing.

Should you sell the home yourself, or list with an agent?

There are many advantages to listing your home with a realtor. An experienced realtor handles all the sales and marketing of your home, and will typically be able to get your home sold more quickly, and often for 10-20% more than you would get if you listed and sold the home on your own. On the other hand, if you’re prepared to put in the time to list and market the home yourself, your costs to close on the sale of the home will likely be reduced.

What do I need to do to prepare for closing?

Your title closing company will provide you with a detailed list of documents to produce prior to closing. Additionally, they will conduct a title research to be sure that you have clear title, and determine if you have unexpected liens or encumbrances, which can be time-consuming and expensive to resolve if they are not detected in a timely manner.
