Selling your home can be stressful and very time consuming! I know I have sold several of my own! From showings to movers and all in between it’s enough to make you want to pull your hair out!

Well, stick with me here because I have 10 tips for getting the most out of selling your home that will make it a bit easier for you to manage!

1. HIRE THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT TO HELP YOU!
2. KNOW WHAT OTHER HOMES HAVE SOLD FOR IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR AREA!
3. MAKE MINOR REPAIRS COMPLETED BEFORE SELLING!
4. DECLUTTER AND CLEAN YOUR HOME BEFORE PUTTING IT ON THE MARKET!
5. PREPARE A PLAN FOR YOUR NEXT MOVE!
6. HAVE FINANCING IN ORDER FOR YOUR NEW PURCHASE(UNLESS PAYING CASH)!
7. MAKE SURE IT’S NOT AN EMOTIONAL MOVE!
8. CONSIDER PAYING FOR AN APPRAISAL BEFORE LISTING!
9. STAGE YOUR HOME WITH NEUTRAL COLORS!
10. PRICE YOUR HOME WITHIN MARKET VALUE RANGE FOR THE MOST TRAFFIC AND OFFERS!

These are just a few tips for getting the most out of selling your home! The most important one would be to find an agent that you are compatible with and trust to guide you through the process. Whether it’s been 20 years or 3 years since you have sold a home, having a trusted professional on your side is always best. I find that when a seller and agent work together towards the same end goal the selling process runs much smoother!
