Getting Mentally Prepared to Sell Your Home

By
Real Estate Agent with Long and Foster Real Estate Inc.

 

Selling Maryland real estate involves a number of subject that people take in school--math and finance (to understand crunching the numbers), art (to see the big picture), language arts (to communicate effectively with clients and then sell properties to buyers) and finally psychology.

 

As a top Maryland real estate agent, I know all of the ins and outs of home staging and can tell clients how they can prepare a home to sell fast. However, I know that selling a home involves more than the actions one takes, because your mindset will also greatly affect the home selling process.

 

If you, as the seller cannot shed the emotional attachment to your existing home, we are going to have a tough time selling it.  You can even make repairs and to all the necessary work, but somehow, buyers will enter and sense that they cannot wrench the property from your grasp. Reluctant home sellers can sabotage the sale process without realizing it. If you know that it is time to sell but cannot let go, you not only have to do work on the house, you also have to do some work on yourself.

 

When you are mentally ready to let go, you will joyfully get your home ready for someone else to live in and look forward to the next phase of your life. This means that it is easier for a real estate professional to work with you and get your home sold quickly for a price you will like.

Give Yourself Permission To Set Yourself Free!

Pretend that the house you live in is not yours

Focus your emotions on where you are going to move, not what you are leaving.

Don’t take it personally, it’s business.  I know, I know, your house is different, it’s special etc., like I said, its business.
