Today's topic is something I love to talk about: selling your home. More specifically, we are going to discuss the 3 things you need to do before you even list your home for sale. Here they are:
1. Keep your emotions in check
Many people are unaware of exactly how emotional the process of selling a home can be. Getting into the right mindset is key. You need to detach yourself emotionally from your home and realize that it's a business asset. Once you treat your home sale like a business transaction, you will be freed from the emotional burden that it can put on you.
2. Hire the right agent
Don't just hire a friend, neighbor, or someone you saw an ad for on a park bench. Do your due diligence and interview at least a few different agents to find the best agent for you. Ask them about their past sales, what they know about the area you live in, and their career. Don't be afraid to ask for references, either.
3. Price your home correctly
This is one of the most important aspects of selling your home. You need to make sure your agent explains the market to you and what their strategy on pricing is. Even in the best of markets, if your home is priced too high, it won't sell.
There you have it, 3 great tips for getting started in the home selling process. If you have any questions for us or would like to talk about selling your home, give us a call or send us an email. We can't wait to hear from you!
