Understanding the market
Being aware of market conditions gives you the right outlook when it comes time to putting your home on the market to sell.
We all want the most out of our home. The more we can make than what we put into it, the better! Keep in mind that market conditions are always changing and this can impact the value of your home. Relying on sites like Zillow or Trulia to give an estimation of your property's value can, and often times will, lead to disappointment. According to Zillow, property values can differentiate up to 20% of what their Zestimates claim. This is why it's imperative to hire a professional to provide a true analysis of your property so you can have a better understanding of what your home is worth in current market conditions. You can then make the decision of selling your property if it's the right step to take based on its value.
Preparing to Sell
Be sure your home is prepared before it hits the market. You want to ensure it's portrayed in the best light to get the best offers!
Curb Appeal
Improve your landscaping and curb appeal, since that is the first thing buyers see.
Repairs
Make necessary repairs before you list. Unless you are pricing it below market value to sell as-is, taking the time to make repairs can get you a better offer.
Repaint
If you can, repaint your home. Adding a fresh coat of paint to a lived-in property can help it look like new.

Declutter
Remove clutter and store away as much as you can. Keep your decor and furniture simple and light. You want to showcase the size of the home without it being overwhelmed by too much stuff. Professional staging is also an option.
Depersonalize
Depersonalize the home by removing family photos, so you give buyers the opportunity to envision their own lives in the house instead of feeling like they are intruding into someone else's.
Closets
Organize your closets. People will look in there, so showcase them!
Clean
Clean, clean, clean. We recommend having a professional cleaner come in right before your home is listed. Be sure to keep it clean for every showing.
Eliminate Odors
Eliminate bad odors. You may have gotten used to smells in your home, but home buyers will be able to quickly pick up on pet and smoke odors.
