Steps to Take to Prepare Your Home
Make sure that your homes stands out so it will sell quickly. Here is a step-by-step guide to selling your home, which will help you make the best choices as you enter this process.
1. Clean It Up
If you want to learn how to sell your house fast, start by cleaning it up. Freshen up paint, improve your landscaping and give everything white glove level cleaning. Clean everything, inside and out, so that the house shines.
2. Don’t Make It Personal
Your home needs to look like a blank slate, where the prospective buyers can picture themselves in it instead of feeling like a visitor in your space. This requires depersonalization and decluttering. Declutter by removing items you don’t use regularly and storing them in an off-site storage unit, then stage your furnishings to make your home as appealing and inviting as possible. Remove family photos, children’s artwork and personal mementoes, so the home looks neutral.
3. Price It Right
If you are trying to sell your own home, it’s essential that you price it right. Pricing to sell a house quickly starts with understanding the current market and what comparable houses are selling for, understanding pricing psychology and understanding your real estate goals to arrive at a price that works for you and your home. This is where Brett, a skilled real estate agent, can provide invaluable help.

Also, listing during peak times can maximize your price, because you will have a better chance of selling quickly, which reduces the risk that you will have to drop the price because the home has sat on the market too long.
