SELLING YOUR HOME - SOME PRACTICAL ADVICE

First and foremost, make the selling decision when it is right for YOU!

Seek professional advice through your legal and tax advisors if it is warranted.

Select a real estate company that has agents with the education and experience it takes to support the sale of your home sale.

Price your home within market value.

Spend time on your home and surpass the competition. First impressions are important. Don't over-estimate how buyers will see your home. Your home needs to be clean, decluttered, organized, and in great repair.

Showcase the best features in your home.

Think about offering a home warranty with the sale of your home.

Don’t get greedy during the negotiation process. Trying to get a few more dollars out of your home doesn’t make sense and jeopardizes the transaction.

Be prepared with information such as utilites, deed restrictions, HOA information, copies of any inspections, appliance information booklets and warranties.

Know what you can and cannot change about your home during the selling process. Prepare a list of items that will not be sold with the home.

Make moving plans early. Do not wait until the last minute.

Be an informed seller. Ask questions.
