Getting Top Dollar for Your Home

So you want to sell your home! The two most important components for you are the price and how long it will take to sell.

Here are a few pointers that may help you in what often is a stressful exercise. Get the facts - First determine the value of your home. Not what you think it's worth, but what an informed buyer is willing to pay. Ask a full time active in your area REALTOR to do a CMA on your home Set a realistic price - This should be a maximum of 5% above the homes true value. Set the price under a whole number, such as $199 900 instead of $200 000. It looks better!Don't waste time - The longer the house sits on the market un-sold the less likely you are to get your price and don't forget all this time you are paying property taxes,insurance etc.

Have your house inspected - An available report is a great selling tool. The last thing you want is a surprise during the inspection, which could force you to lower your price. Make your home a model home - Carry out any basic repair needed. Then dazzle the buyers' with paint, polish, new light fixtures,and fresh bedding etc all in-expensive!
