Before you put your home on the market, here are some valuable tips on how to sell your home for top dollar and with the least amount of hassle.
1. Interview 3 to 5 agents before making your final choice.
2. Do some research on Google and know your rights and obligations. Have your realtor explain the listing contract in detail.
3. Set a realistic listing price . Always base your price on market value rather than needs or emotions.
4. Do a walk through with the agent and if he suggests some fix-ups, make sure you do them before the first showing.
5. Most buyers like to view the home on the internet before making a decision to see if they are going to view it. Your agent must take high quality professional photos and do a virtual tour.
6. Your house must have curb appeal. Make sure the outside is as attractive as the inside.
7. Keep your house clean and de-clutter before every showing.
8. Communicate with your agent and make sure he gives you feedback after every showing. If the house isn't selling, find out why and fix the problem otherwise lower the price. A house that sits too long on the market raises suspicion for buyers.
9. The first offer is usually the best so take it seriously.
