First, make sure the home is in tip-top condition. A good cleaning goes a long way, as does landscaping. Repair any little “annoyances” that you’ve learned to live with. Fresh paint and new or freshly shampooed carpets go a long way.
Stage the home using what you have. Hire a decorator, or do it yourself. Declutter — especially the kitchen and bathroom countertops.
Determine the ideal time frame for Getting Yours Sold. Check out the real estate market for recent sales, and how long they were on the market. Add 30-45 days (typically) to the number of “Days on Market” to get an idea of when you might be done.
Develop an appropriate pricing strategy — yes, “strategy” designed to Get Yours Sold for Top Dollar in the shortest time possible with the least amount of hassles.
Avoid “gimmicky” offers on television to buy your home — remember that their goal is to “flip” the home for a profit. Why give away your money when a good REALTOR® can usually get more money in your pocket!
Choose a Realtor® with proven strategies designed to help you keep more of your profit. Surprisingly, those cheap agents don’t always get more for you. In this case, with your most valuable asset, choose the best agent with experience to back it up.
