What You Need to Know Before You Sell

Our Oldsmar pool contractor knows how it can be to own a unique home with a dream come true swimming pool that is for sale. You worked hard for your property and most likely invested a lot of money over the years to increase its value.

As a property seller, you need a good plan on how to deal with negative reviews of your swimming pool. Look at your backyard and ask yourself, are the pool and deck clean? Do you need to replace the grout, caulk and are pool parts worn out? Most homebuyers want to walk right into a new home without putting more money into making it look good. Here are a few helpful points of advice that our team put together.

Before you sell your property, call us at 727-547-8300, and we can give you our advice on how to make it sale ready.

 Appearance Is Everything

Remember to trim the trees in the backyard to add more sunlight. If you have sagging gates or leaning fence posts surrounding your property, then it needs to be in tip-top shape. The pool needs to be clean and bright, and look as if it is low maintenance. Buyers want to know that it is a safe pool for adults and children to enjoy. Here are a few more areas to look out for:

• If you have a closed cover on your pool, most home buyers will question its cleanliness. It is an intimidating process and can be overwhelming when the thought of maintaining a swimming pool comes to mind. You can consider the negotiation of paying for updates for it to be fully operational upon closing.
• One of the best times of the year to sell a house with a pool is when it is warm outside. When your pool is ready to sell, it needs to look perfect during every showing. Ask your realtor to market your house mentioning that the pool is in fantastic shape to attract home buyers.
• A pool binder will show your prospective buyers how to maintain it to keep it in good shape. It needs to include your service records, renovation, upgrades and chemical records. Do an orientation of the pool to all buyers and add us as a reliable Oldsmar pool contractor to the list.
• Make sure to include accessories, chemicals, and equipment as a part of the purchase deal of your home. Get rid of any old or broken parts and include pool cleaner that will make the quality of the buying experience good for your prospects.
