Don’t bother with major renovations before selling.
Huge construction projects are unlikely to bring you a big return when you sell. Small effective updates will improve the look of your home and are more likely to increase your sale price.
Be sure to provide easy access for showings.
Selling your home is all about getting buyers through the door, so don’t make any part of the process difficult. Clean up your home so you can be ready for a showing at a moment’s notice, and make your home available to buyers and agents at any time. Never forget the little things, like easy access to parking. If a buyer is looking at several similar listings, it is the small things could push your home to the top of the list.
Remember to showcase your home’s best features.
Your home furnishings suit you fine, but there may be certain things about your choice of décor that might not appeal to the masses. Look at your house from a buyer’s perspective, and make the needed enhancements.
You don’t have to wait until spring to sell.
Spring is the biggest time for sales, but that doesn’t mean people will not buy homes all year round. Whatever season you choose, make the most of your home’s seasonal amenities during that time.
Leave your home when it is being shown.
No one but you has a better perspective about your home, but that doesn’t mean you should stay when your home is being shown to buyers. It’s difficult for most buyers to speak honestly with their agent about a home they are viewing if the seller is listening to the conversation.
Never set your sale price too high.
Your house is only worth what people will pay for it. You may miss a lot of potential buyers if they think your home is out of their price range.
