Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Offers Quick Tips for Sellers

When you’re ready to put your house on the market, the experts at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage offer some advice to keep in mind.

First, make your home look as appealing as possible to potential buyers. Ask your agent to walk through it and give you honest feedback. He or she can suggest quick, high-impact improvements to make, such as minor cosmetic repairs, painting bold rooms in neutral colors, decluttering and putting away personal items.

Next, make your property available for showings. The easier it is to view your house, the more buyers will see it. And the more buyers who see it, the more likely you are to get an offer. Have your agent install a lockbox on your door, and keep the house clean so it’s ready to show with minimal notice.

One of the most important things you can do is price your home appropriately. Pricing it above market value will greatly reduce the number of potential buyers who see your home, while making competing properties seem more attractive. The right price will garner the most attention and interest in your house.

Finally, keep your emotions out of it. While you may feel an attachment to your home and the memories you’ve made there, it’s best to approach the sale of it with a clear head. Don’t allow a great offer to slip away because of your personal feelings.
