Pricing your home
In many ways, selling a home is one of the biggest financial decision you’ll ever make
The perfect price for your home is one that will not only maximize profit, but also attract buyers. To find the best price we’ll provide a Competitive Market Analysis: we’ll assess how much potential value there is in your home and what it means for pricing compared with other properties on the market at this time. The following factors should help determine a good selling point as well:
What prices are similar homes in your area selling for?
What are the size, layout and condition of your home?
Is your home located in a high-demand area?
Does your home include today’s most popular amenities?
What is the estimated appraisal?
What is the experience of your Realtor?
Is it a buyer’s or a seller’s market?

The first impression someone can get of your house from the street isn’t just an aesthetic opinion, but also speaks volumes about how much care you put into maintaining and upgrading your property. Here are some tips on maximizing curb appeal:
Remove any junk or clutter from the yard
Mow, rake and/or fertilize your lawn
Trim shrubbery and hedges
Wash, stain or paint decks and porches
Clean and paint or stain your front door
Ensure all exterior lights work
Clean all exterior windows
Clean out gutters and downspouts
Sweep or scoop all walkways
Close garage door
-
Most of the time you will be given at least a couple of hours’ notice before showing your home. Before you show your home add these small but important finishing touches:
Turn on all indoor and outdoor lights, day or night, to create a “welcoming” feeling
Leave home or remain out of sight during showings to give prospective buyers the privacy to openly evaluate everything
Avoid scented sprays; instead, light a scented candle, bake some cookies or add a few drops of vanilla extract to a stove burner before showings
Empty all trash and waste baskets before showings
Set the thermostat at a comfortable temperature
Turn off all TVs; turn on soft, melodious music
Take pets with you if you can; otherwise, keep them outside or well out of sight
