Getting Top Dollar When You Sell Your Home
Selling residential real estate in a slow economy may be a frightening experience. Just a few years ago, people had multiple buyers lined up with offers at the conclusion of the initial open house. Today, properties can sit on the market for 6-24 months without any action. How can you sell in a slow market and get a better deal?
Your Home Must Stand Apart from the Others
When there are more properties for sale and fewer purchasers, your home must distinguish itself from other houses for sale in your market. This does not mean it has to be the biggest and fanciest; it just needs to be desirable. What does this mean?
Putting Your House into Shape to Sell
You don’t need to spend a fortune getting your house ready for sale. However, there are a wide range of low cost things you can do to enchance both the value of your home as well as the “curb appeal”. How well does your home show to prospective buyers?
Keep The Property Clean - it is alarming that several people wish to show a messy home.
Keep it Uncluttered - the more packed in it appears, the smaller it looks. It makes the buyer wonder if the rooms are too small. It also doesn’t look well kept.
Fresh Painting - if you have rooms in the house that look anscient, walls that are faded or paint that has peeled, spend a fre days repainting parts of your house that need it.
Straighten Up the Yard - your front yard and backyard is where a prospective home buyer wants to imaginethemselves throwing BBQs and putting up swing sets. They don’t wish to see old mattresses, ruined rusty lawn furniture or an old fixer upper that you are really truly planning finish putting back together someday.

Remember - Selling Your Real Estate is Not Just About the Asking Price
Selling homes is not just about cost. It is about emotion and perception. If people don’t love your house, they won’t buy it. If they think it has been neglected, they won’t purchase it. If they don’t really like it a lot, they won’t offer the cost you are asking for it.
