Selling and home can tend to be stressful. However, having all of your ducks in a row and following these essentials steps will have you on your way to a more seamless home selling experience.

1. Find the right Real Estate Agent: A Real Estate Agent will allow you to have instant access to an ample amount of potential buyers, so working with an Agent is key. Going at it alone will only come with making mistakes and will take up a lot of time and energy. Paperwork, pricing and preparing your home for the sale are vital components of selling your home. An experienced agent will proactively take the wheel for you on expediting these tasks with efficiency. I am the experienced agent you need!
2. Price your home accordingly: Check out comps in your area, and ask your Agent for listing price suggestions. Your agent will best advise you on negotiating the listing price.
3. Sell at the right time: Typically Spring and Summer are known to be the best times to sell your home. But keep in mind that buyers can afford to be picky, because during this time there is increased inventory on the market. So having your home in tip top shape is key. Which leads me to the next nugget.
4. Make small upgrades: You don’t necessarily need to go overboard with a total major renovation (of course unless you absolutely choose to). Chances are you may not get all of your money back. Focusing on small upgrades, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, where your more likely to see a return on your investment is more important. Simply replacing outdated kitchen appliances, and updating cabinet hardware, if needed, can make a world of a difference in the ambiance.
5. Light it up: Fresh paint where it’s need throughout your home will make it appear more fresh and inviting. Lighting is also good in brightening up the home so it feels more cozy and vibrant. So open up the curtains and blinds, and be sure that it’s nice and bright throughout while the home is showing.
6. Curb Appeal: The exterior is the first thing that buyers see, and generally is the first impression of your home. Having the yard in great shape is essential. Even the small details like the doorbell and brass on the door matter. Spruce them up and make them appear to be inviting. Flowers, particularly in the entry way add a hint of color in making your home feel more welcoming.
7. Declutter: This is a huge factor in the overall presence of the home. Be sure buyers can walk freely throughout your home without encountering any belongings that may be just laying around.
8. Have your Home Inspected: To avoid any unforeseen issues with the home, be sure to get a thorough inspection. You will be glad you did, especially if you have an immediate buyer who is ready to move forward.

Addressing these keys points will help you make the most of your home sale. Hit the ground running. Let me be there from the planning stages through to the closing table, and beyond. I work hard for my sellers.
