TIPS TO SELLING YOUR HOME

 

Listed belowed are just a few trips to help you sell your house with ease.

 

Tip #1: Clean, clean, clean!

     Make sure your house is tidy before meeting with your agent. This is because once you sign those listing documents, your agent is going to want to take marketing photos. Those photos will be all over the internet. And waiting to take them could only prolong your stay. In order to get the house on the market as soon as you'd like, make sure to clean up before that meeting. Those photos will really make your property more desirable to potential buyers.

 

Tip #2:  Personal photos are out!

      Remove all personal photos from your home. Yes, this seems harsh. But it really does help. Potential buyers like to invision themselves living in the house when they walk through. This is difficult to do with all of your familys graduation or wedding photos hanging everywhere. So take them down once the home is listed.

 

Tip #3:  Throw away the junk!

      This tip not only helps you de-clutter your home but it always helps prepare for your move. The less stuff you have, the bigger your space looks. Making the home look bigger is always a win! Plus, the less things you have to move, the better. So get rid of that old out-of-work treadmill in the corner with the boxes stacked all over it. Heck...get rid of the boxes to!

 

Tip #4:  Know your market!

      The best tip we can give you is to pay attention to the market. Timing is everything and waiting until the right moment to sell is key. When you have decided that it is the right time for you to leave, start paying close attention to the real estate market. Even look at the other listings in your neighborhood. If the homes around you aren't selling for what they are worth, maybe take a step back and wait a little longer for the market to pickk back up. Sell smart and be patient. After all, you want to get the best return on your investment.

 

Tip #5:  Don't settle!

      This tip goes back to getting the most out of your investment. Don't settle for lowball offers. Assuming you have infact followed tip number four and you know your market, you also know what your house is worth. Don't settle for just any offer. This i=doesn't mean you should price high and sit on your listing for months. It just means that you should be smart about getting your investment back. Take the offer you think you deserve.

 

We hope these tips really help you sell your home.
