As most of the homeowners, you’re struggling with several questions. After all, you’re about to sell the single biggest asset you’ve ever bought. You might have questions like, What’s my home worth? What can I do to make my home as attractive as possible? And of course, the big one:  How do I get the most for my home?

 The best way to start answering those questions is to be informed. If I’ve done my job right, then this guide should give you answers to many of those questions and make you feel a lot more confident about the whole process.

Pricing your home

Setting the price for your home is challenging. Too low, and you leave money on the table. Too high, and you scare away buyers to other properties.

To find the optimal price—one that maximizes the sale price and minimizes the time it takes to sell—requires strategic thinking.

Pricing your home right the first time results in more exposure, more showings, more offers, and ultimately, the highest offer received for your home. 

If you want to get as much for your home as possible within a reasonable time frame, you need to get the price right.

Prepare your Home

After price, the condition of your home is the single biggest factor in determining how fast and for how much your home sells. That means that how your home shows now is how people see themselves in it. You can dramatically improve how your home sells with few steps:

  • Clean – Creates a sense of calm and peace. If a home feels crowded and cluttered, buyers feel stressed and can’t imagine themselves relaxing in the home.
  • De-clutter – Sort through Items that you will not be needing in the next couple months and store it away in boxes. The less stuff you have the bigger the space will seem to the buyers eye. 
  • Make minor repairs – Chipped paint, cracked tiles, squeaky hinges, leaky faucets. Fix anything you can that will make the home move in ready and won’t be flagged when performing inspection of the home.
  • Consider staging – Staged homes sell 49% faster, and for 7-11%  more money. Staging can also mean using the items you currently have in your home to make it look showhome ready. 

Sound overwhelming? No problem, that’s what I’m am here for. My Team consists of Cleaners, Stagers, Movers and Handymen that can get your home ready for sale in no time!
