Top Ten Selling Tips

Transitioning Your Personal Space into a Marketable Asset

1. Interview and Hire a Reputable Realtor

Realtors are skilled and trained to handle the negotiations and complicated paperwork. They will provide you with invaluable info to get your home sold at the best price possible in a reasonable time frame.

2. The Price is Right

Pricing is critical. Overpricing will diminish the freshness of the listing within the first 2-3 weeks. Remember, personal debt or selling fees have nothing to do with the value of your property. Your Realtor will provide you with the tools for this.

3. Pride of Ownership Begins Outside

Mow the lawn, clip the weeds, plant flowers, paint the front door, clean the windows!

4. Maximize Your Worth with Smart Upgrades

You can improve your home’s value with minor fixes. Kitchens and bathrooms are wise rooms to invest in.

5. Picture-Perfect

The Power of the Pros: Professional photographers have a keen eye and the right equipment to showcase for success.

6. Clear the Clutter

We all have it, but less is better. Buyers want to visualize themselves in your home. Make them feel at home.

7. Stage to Sell

Staging can be worth the investment but you can also stage yourself. Your Realtor will help you decide where to start.

8. Inspect to Protect

A pre-listing home inspection will help you nip problems in the bud, allow you to correct them and save time.

9. Ready, Set, Move

Be prepared and have a game plan should your home sell faster than you expect.

10. Lead With Your Head, Not Your Heart

It’s emotional, we get it. You’re selling an asset so think of it as a business transaction. Don’t get offended and be prepared to reasonably compromise.
