You’ve decided it’s time to move on to a new nest and put your current abode up for sale. Here are a few steps you’ll want to cover in order to maximize the visibility and profit of your home.
Setting a realistic price point is vital? set it too high and you’ll have a hard time selling, price is too low and you leave money on the table. Avoid those scenarios by arming yourself with information. Find out your home’s value by seeking a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) and a property appraisal. You can request a CMA from a real estate office in your area, usually for free.
Prior to accepting viewings, “stage” your home to highlight its attractiveness. Make your property look as bright and spacious as possible. Get rid of clutter in the garage and basement, put in brighter light bulbs, wash the roof and throw a fresh coat of paint on the walls.

Ultimately, you only need one person to fall in love with it.
