Selling Your House With Ease

Are you thinking about hitting this Spring market (um... "Spring what, Jeni? It’s still super cold out!").

According to many experts, Superbowl Monday is the optimal time to list a home when wanting to hit the Spring buyers. Listing your home can be a daunting thought. To ease the angst of questions and concerns, follow these simple steps to sell your house at top dollar with ease:
 
  • To fix or not to fix, that is the question
    • Not all repairs reap financial benefit, but you do want to repair obvious maintenance issues. Take on any major house improvements to ensure the house not only looks good but passes inspection. Always consult an expert before moving into any house repairs.

  • Practice the art of purging
    • Purge, purge and purge some more-moving/preparing to move is a great time to have that honest internal conversation with yourself. Do I use this?  Do I need this?  What purpose does this item have in my daily routine? Purging is not only cleansing for the home but for the soul. Take this opportunity to renew and feel refreshed heading into your next home

  • Avoid Realtor Roulette
    • Find a realtor you trust and one that has a reputation to sell. It’s important to vet your realtor and ensure she/he is aligned with your goals, i.e. timing, price, etc.  

  • Take the Stag(er)
    • Hire a local stager/organizer (perhaps me!). Staging a home to sell pays for itself and then some. Ensuring you strike the right balance with furniture and accessories can make all the difference when selling.

  • You are the next contestant on the Price is Right!
    • Ensure you are listed at the right price to move your property. Work with your realtor on comparing similar homes that have sold within the last 6 months in your area. Do some research before you talk to your realtor so you feel good about your pricing strategy

  • Remember to breathe
    • Remember to breathe, practice self-care and patience through this process. Selling/buying a home is one of the top 3 most stressful endeavors one will face. When you find yourself feeling stressed (and you will), take an afternoon to re-fill your cup and re-charge.
