TIPS

Make sure you are given a properly completed "CMA" or Comparitive Market Analysis.
The CMA will give you a very detailed account of current - recent market values in your area.
This should give you a good idea of where you should price your property - so it sells properly.
We offer this service for FREE and with out obligation.
Be sure you have a very good idea on how your Realtor will get he job done!
Do they use technology, if so what?
Do they have contact with other Realtors (this helps to sell your home).
What methods will they use to market your home?
How much experience do they have in negotiations?
Do they upgrade their education on a continuous basis?
Walk through your home/property as if you were a Buyer.
Be objective, remove your emotion & and see it through their eyes. What can be changed?
(My job: The business! Remove emotion from the negotiation process, Get you as much as we can).
Market prices are not based on great memories, hard work, what you paid or the price of your upgrades.
They are based on "what price will the market actually bear?"

PREPARE
All repairs should be done. Anything not in good working order needs to be disclosed.
Store ALL clutter. Cluttered rooms look smaller. People will look in your closets too.
Move furniture to create open areas - Is it easy to walk in the room?
Large furniture can make a room seem smaller. Show off the room, not your furniture or prized possessions.
REMOVE any valuables. (We have never had a problem nor do we want to!)
Touch up drywall & paint - Clean the carpets & floors (makes you more money!).
Fix doors, screens, drawers, lights, plumbing, leaks, squeaks etc.

Curb Appeal;
What does it look like when you first drive up? Clean up the yard, paint the front, pay attention to the deck area & the front door. Decorating, gardens & landscaping are important for re-sale price.

Even though your asking price has been set to reflect the condition and needed repairs, most buyers will exagerate the cost of repair & try to subtract it from your asking price...
Don't give them any excuses!
The Buyers first few minutes are critical, from walking up to the home to standing inside.
First Impressions are lasting impressions!
A $100.00 worth of paint can make you at least $1000.00 on the sale price.
Clean all wndows and their screens - Helps to brighten the home. (rooms look larger)
Pet areas need to be cleaned.

All odors need to be removed for maximum return on your investment.
