Here are a few tips that you may find useful as you prep your home to sell for the first time ever:

Tip #1: Who?

Save yourself both time and stress by hiring an experienced licensed real estate agent to create an individualized plan.  We are here to help you navigate each step of the process and keep things on track. We manage it all, soup to nuts!

Tip #2: What?

Determine your motivation for selling as well as your financial goals and timeline.  Understanding your “what” is a critical first step as it helps you stay on track with attaining your goal(s). Moreover, having an understanding of the reason to list helps with determining the numerical bottom line as well as forecast the return on your investment. Once you know your “what” and have established financial goals, you may realistically set the timeline.

Tip #3: How?

Conduct a pre listing walkthrough with your agent to determine the best course of action such as pricing and home modifications. Your agent may also provide referrals for contractors.  Be open minded when preparing your home to sale. Opting for light staging could be a game changer as buyers like to envision themselves living in your space.

In summary, be sure to work closely with your agent to create an individualized plan for preparing your home to list.  Life is stressful, selling your home doesn’t have to be!
