A few things should know about selling your existing home in "today´s market."

Choose Your List Price Wisely: It's very important to price your home appropriately relative to the current market conditions from the start. The first thing is to get a comparative market analysis by your real estate agent. This is imperative to select your listing price based on the most recent comparable home sales in your area. Remember the first 30 to 60 days your home is on the market is the prime selling time. Having your home priced right lets the buyers and "buyers agent" know you are in tune with current market trends and can help sell your home faster and with fewer problems. Your agent should keep in touch with you at least quarterly to inform you of any changes in the market and if there are any changes you should make to expedite the sale of your home. Sellers sometimes wonder if they should take their homes off the market around the holidays. Generally speaking, you'll have the best results if your house is available to show prospective buyers continuously until it sells.

Curb Appeal On a Budget: Whatever you can do to make your home more appealing to buyers is very important to get as close to your asking price and the quickest sale possible. Without spending a lot of money, here are a few things you can do to make your home show better to perspective buyers.

Sweep the sidewalk, mow the grass, trim the bushes, and remove any unsightly debris from the yard.

Clean all windows inside and out, make sure all painted areas are in good condition.

Be sure the door bell works.

Make sure the house is kept clean smells good and is spruced up at all times, especially the kitchen

and bathroom areas.

Insure all appliances and fixtures are working properly.

Leave Your Ego Out of It: Don't be offended by an offer lower than your asking price from a prospective buyer. You as a seller are trying to get the most for your money and a buyer is doing the same thing. This is when you and your agent in conjunction with the buyers and their agent work together and come to terms both you and the buyer are satisfied with.

My goal as your Realtor is simple: Help you sell your home for the best price and make the selling of your home an enjoyable experience and as stress free as possible.
