Tips For Selling Your Home
Step 1 - Preparing to Sell
As you are preparing to sell, it helps to begin looking at your home from the eye of a
prospective buyer. Does the window stick or does the faucet drip? Now is the time to make those
minor repairs. You may have gotten used to them, but they’ll stick out to a buyer.
Step 2 - Pricing Your Home
It cannot be emphasized enough that perhaps the most important part of selling your home is
pricing it correctly. Many sellers have lost money because they believed their home would sell at
a higher price. They listed high and when they didn't have showings, lowered the price below the
market rate to offset the longer days on market. Use our Home Price Check as a guide. Once you
have an idea of what your neighborhood market rates are, have a professional appraiser to verify
your price.
Step 3 - Get a REALTOR®
You’ll want an agent that is experienced in your neighborhood and you may want to interview
several agents and ask for a comparative marketing analysis. During the interview process, you
should ask questions and find out how they intend to market your home. Filling out the above form
will put you in touch with agents dedicated to providing first class customer service!
Step 4 - Curb Appeal
Outside you'll want to make sure the grass is cut and trees and shrubs are properly pruned.
Outside clutter is kept to a minimum. Inside,make the home open and inviting allowing potential
buyers to imagine themselves in the space. Your REALTOR® will help you with tips and tactics
to help you with this step.
While these are some tips, working closely with your REALTOR® and thoroughly explaining
your goals and your needs will help them provide you the necessary advice and recommendations to
sell your home as quickly as possible and at the highest return possible.
