Use our approach to sell your home fast!
Still Feeling Uncertain?
Here’s a handy guide to help you sell your home quickly and confidently.
Take Stock of the Market
Evaluate current market trends and your personal situation. Decide whether to buy your next home before or after selling your current one.
Before You Sell
1. Choose the Right Agent
Your agent will guide you through marketing, showings, and legal requirements. Choose wisely. We can connect you with a local expert and provide a free market report. You’ll sign a legally binding agreement outlining commissions, costs, and strategy.
2. Declutter and Organize
Remove excess items to create open, welcoming spaces. Avoid stuffing items into closets—buyers will look! Consider renting temporary storage if needed.
3. Make Repairs
Fix small issues like leaky faucets and check systems like HVAC. Walk through your home as if you’re the buyer and take notes on what needs attention.
4. Deep Clean
Clean like special guests are coming! Focus on every surface—floors, grout, windows, and especially bathrooms. A spotless home shows pride of ownership.
5. Appeal to the Senses
Eliminate odors and add inviting fragrances. Bake cookies or display citrus fruit to create a refreshing atmosphere during showings.
6. Stage for Success
Use neutral décor and smart furniture placement to attract a broad range of buyers. Ask your agent for staging tips or hire a professional. The average cost is $675 and may increase your home’s appeal and price.
