If your looking to get as much as you can for your house, do your homework before pricing your property to sell. Try not to overprice, this will not attract interest and you definitely don’t want to underprice and lose out either. When listing your property, your house should be priced correctly, as soon as it hits the market. Otherwise, you will risk turning away potential buyers by continuously having to dropping the price. Altering the price, will come across as a more unexperienced or desperate seller. Worse case scenario, It can also make the buyer think that your unable to get your’e asking price because something is wrong with the house.

Remove as many personal items before any buyers are ready to view your home. In fact, it would be in your favour to pack up before even listing. By getting the packing out the way, will make the whole moving process easier and will also let the buyer feel less intrusive when viewing. In addition, it will help your’e listing photos to look even better, without no clutter.  Ad’s with too many personal items often get scrolled past.

One of the downsides to listing your home on the market, is having to deal with strangers walking through your house, at any given time. However, it is in your best interest to allow potential buyers to view without any limitations or hassle.  You cant rely on an Open House to sell your home. In fact, the vast majority of houses sell through direct showings.  By showing a little hospitality and allowing flexibility with potential buyers, will set the tone for a more successful transaction.

One of the most important things to do when selling your house, is to make sure you have good photographs for you’re listing. Over personalised rooms, clutter or mess is not a good look for your advertisement and will most likely get looked over. Amazing photos will attract potential buyers, so your house needs to pop and stand out. You will only have a matter of seconds to achieve this, to interest people and make them want to see and find out more. So, you may want to consider hiring a professional photographer.  Another thing to consider is drone photography or maybe setting up an online virtual tour. Whatever you decide, by hiring the right team of professionals, will guide you in the right direction to ensure you get you’re asking price and within a timely manner.

Besides what we just covered there are  terrific resources that discuss even more ideas  that will help a first time home seller. Also, remember that sometimes listing your house with an agent is not the best option in which case getting cash offers for homes with a cash buyer, could be great option for selling my house and yours.
