What to Include in a Sacramento Real Estate Listing

Writer: Michael BoitoMichael Boito

Getting ready to list your Sacramento home? Great! Whether you are working with a real estate agent or listing it yourself, here are a few things that you want to include in your Sacramento real estate listing to make sure that potential buyers know the highlights of your home.


What To Include In Your Sacramento Real Estate Listing

Bedrooms and bathrooms: These are essential criteria because many buyers filter their search based on the number of rooms that they need. Make sure that you include the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and half baths.


Square footage: Just like most buyers want to know how many rooms the home has, they also want to know the overall space. Make sure that you differentiate between finished square footage and unfinished square footage. Every buyer has different needs and this can help them make a decision.


Number of stories: This should be apparent from the exterior photos of your home but it is still helpful to include in the written text, especially if your home as an unusual design or a walk-out basement.


Upgrades and updates: If you have an older home, make sure to note any major maintenance, upgrades, and updates that have been done recently. Roof, windows, A/C, heat, and other big renovations should be specified. This can even be helpful to newer homes to let the buyer know when these big ticket items (often expensive) were last taken care of.


Outdoor space: If your home has nice outdoor space, make sure that you highlight that in the listing. Many buyers love to have plenty of outdoor space, whether it’s for entertaining or letting their kids play.


Special amenities: Does your home have special features, such as a pool or gazebo outside? Maybe a built-out rec room complete with a custom bar? Include these in your listing to up the wow factor and make your listing stand out.


Photos: Many buyers skip right to the photos to see if the home’s look is even appealing. Some may even skip over listings that don’t include photos. Buyers are busy and probably don’t want to waste time considering a home when they don’t even know what it looks like. Working with a professional photographer can help show your home in its best light.

Loans made or arranged pursuant to a California Finance Lenders Law license.

 

A preapproval is not a loan approval, rate lock, guarantee or commitment to lend. An underwriter must review and approve a complete loan application after you are preapproved in order to obtain financing.

 

This is not a commitment to lend. Prices, guidelines, and minimum requirements are subject to change without notice. Some products may not be available in all states. Subject to review of credit and/or collateral; not all applicants will qualify for financing. It is important to make an informed decision when selecting and using a loan product; make sure to compare loan types when making a financing decision.

For Reverse Mortgage: When the loan is due and payable, some or all of the equity in the property that is the subject of the reverse mortgage no longer belongs to borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan with interest from other proceeds. The lender may charge an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium, closing costs and servicing fees (added to the balance of the loan). The balance of the loan grows over time and the lender charges interest on the balance. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, maintenance, and related taxes (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise, the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable (and the property may be subject to a tax lien, other encumbrance, or foreclosure) when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes, insurance payments, or maintenance, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms. Interest is not tax-deductible until the loan is partially or fully repaid.
