If you’re a seller and are thinking about selling your home yourself, give it some
serious consideration. Will the money you save compare to the money you lose by
pricing your home incorrectly, not having the negotiation skills needed or not
doing the proper marketing to quickly sell your home?

below are some home selling tips to consider.

Five Tips Every Seller Should Know Prior to Selling Their Home

Conduct a Pre-listing Inspection – Having your
home inspected by a third party will give you a “new set of eyes” to help
you objectively price your home and prepare you for the home inspection
the buyers will conduct. This allows you to make repairs ahead of time and
allows you or your chosen contractor to handle the repairs. It may also
alert you to immediate concerns such as termites, radon gas, or electrical
problems. Plus, the repair receipts and inspection report will help
support any maintenance claims you have made on the home. Don’t forget to
select an inspector that is licensed and insured.
Clean up outside the home – Keep the grass cut
and the area neat to make a strong first impression. Nothing says un-kept
and lower value than a messy lawn. Keep the windows clean inside and out,
wash the exterior of the house and paint where necessary. Make sure the
chimney and gutters are clean.
Fix up the interior – Applying a fresh coat of
paint can make a big improvement in the appearance of a room at very
little cost. New paint can clean up scuffmarks and discoloration. If
you’re working with wallpaper, wash it to give it a new clean look. Wash
all floors, shampoo dirty carpets, and eliminate clutter. Clean out the
garage, basement, attic and closets. Consider staging your home before
showing it to prospective buyers. Staging can make your home more
attractive by rearranging furniture and household objects that allows
buyers to picture themselves in your home. Also make sure you replace the
air filters to minimize dust in the house.
Replace fixtures that are worn or leaking -
Clean under the sinks and make any necessary repairs to fixtures. Give
your bathroom or kitchen a new look by replacing the fixtures that are
leaky or worn. Paint damaged areas if necessary.
Eliminate bad odors in your home – Pay special
attention to smoke and pet odors. Consider an air sanitizer that will
clean the air, eliminate odors and provide natural clean air without
chemicals.
