Home Selling Truths and Real Estate Myths
The Essential Guide for First-Time Home Sellers
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
I like to enlist the analogy that buying a home is a little like dating or going on a job interview. When a buyer first visits your home, this is your one and only first impression opportunity. You certainly want that buyer to like you and, even better, to have some interest in you. You wouldn’t show up to a first date or a job interview in dirty sweat pants and unbathed any more than you should allow potential buyers to see a messy or overly personalized home. You only get one first impression with potential buyers. Properly preparing your home before you go on the market and maintaining your home to always look its best for each showing is an absolute must for success when selling.
Preparation, decluttering and staging are three key steps in getting your home on the market. These are time consuming tasks for a seller, but know that the effort made here will directly affect your ability to sell your home on average faster and for more money.
