20 Tips for Selling Your Home

Selling your home? Putting your house up for sale can be a lot, and the last thing anyone wants to do is drag it on and end up waiting forever before landing a buyer. We’ve put together this quick rundown of tips and tricks to help you sell your home faster!

1. Learn the local real estate market
2. Avoid over pricing your home
3. Get a home estimate or a pre-listing appraisal
4. Determine the costs of the sale. How much is it going to cost you to sell your home?
5. Ask for a mortgage pay off quote. How much it says you owe on the mortgage lender’s website vs. how much you do owe, isn’t always exactly what you think!
6. Establish an emergency fund to have on hand. Again, selling your home is costly, so be sure to have the funds you need to cover all costs, moving expenses, mortgage and/or rent with your abode!
7. Check your state tax records
8. Consult with an accountant to go over all numbers and figures
9. Pull your credit records, get a full credit check, be sure to take action to dispute any errors, and work on improving your score if need be
10. Set realistic deadlines
11. Be prepared! Plan and map out your move once your home has sold
12. Get your home inspected ahead of time, before the sale
13. Take care of major repairs, paint any interiors and exteriors of your home, and make small renovations and upgrades
14. Prepare your disclosures and have them ready
15. Trim down the amount of furniture in your home. A lot of furniture makes the space in a home appear much smaller than what it actually is. Get rid of furniture or find a space to store excess furniture pieces in.
16. Hire a photographer to take professional, great looking photos of your home, and be sure your windows are nice and clean for the best exterior shots.
17. Clean! Not only should you make sure your home is clean before showings, but be sure to maintain a clean, nice looking home.
18. Focus on the lighting, change your lightbulbs
19. Focus on curb appeal! Trim your hedges, maintain a nice trimmed lawn, plant some flowers, and keep a clean driveway, door, walkway and overall exterior of your home.
20. Advertise your home and host an open house
