There is more to it than putting a sign in the yard!
The market is slow right now,
there is no denying it. While interest rates remain very
reasonable, the number of available homes is high and that means buyers
have more options. It's not impossible to sell a home these days, but
it requires effort.
I'm an oddity, I suppose...
I don't take every listing I
am offered. If I agree to list a home, I do so because i believe I can
sell it. If the seller wants far more than the home is worth, is
not willing to do everything possible to make the home attractive or
will not allow showings, I will pass on the listing.
Know your competition...
If there are other homes on the market in your neighborhood, and if the listing agent holds an open house,
GO TO IT! You will have an excellent opportunity to see what they have that may be be better or unique and
you will have the chance to make a comparrison to what you have to offer buyers. Additionally, you will have a chance to hear what potential buyers are saying as they walk through the home and you wil see the type of buyer that is attracted to your neighborhood.

Keep the grass cut, plant flowers, mulch beds, consider landscape lighting, CURB APPEAL gets them in the door. Once we get them inside, the home needs to be clean and it needs to SMELL clean. This does not mean you should use all the potpouri air freshener you can find, but it does mean avoiding strong cooking smells like fish. When the weather is nice, open windows and get the house aired-out as much and as often as possible. Get rid of clutter, make the beds, don't leave hair in the shower drain, organize closets and try to find a way to orchestrate the living room furniture so that it is NOT placed against a wall.This will sound crazy...
Watch the home selling shows on HDTV. While I don't agree with everything they suggest, the fact is our potential buyers are watching those shows and especially if they are first-time buyers, they are going to think what they see is what should be.| © Copyright
