6 Must-Know tips for listing your home

1. Go Local

Your realtor should have a strong knowledge of the local landscape - sales data, recent industry trends, and then some.

2. Details, details!

Put the work into the preparation details - today’s buyers are not, for the most part, paying top dollar for a fixer upper and repairs left undone can cost you more money in the long run as they can give the buyer negotiating leverage.

3. Clean, uncluttered homes sell

Set the home up for success by showing it off and not all your things. Strategically pack or store the small stuff in advance of any showings.

4. Price it right.

The first few weeks of your listing are critical to getting the highest possible price, and buyers will swarm to a well-priced property. Prepare with your realtor to land on the proper listing price for success.

5. Photos!

Excellent home photography will attract more buyers than not! Imagine people viewing your phone on their mobile device as that is predominantly how the home will be found. A skilled real estate photographer can do this for you and I can help connect you.

6. Never turn down a showing request

Honestly, selling a home you’re still living in is pretty tough. You need to prepare the home and keep it in proper showing order until the sale is complete. Before you start the sales process, I recommend you understand all of this and accept it so you’re able to make the process as painfree as possible for yourself and your family.
