So you have decided that you want to sell your home right? Well you need to be sure that you are prepared and that your home is inviting, comfortable, and ready to show in order for you to have a successful sale. Proper preparation and planning is the key to selling your home quick and at a premium price. However, all too often sellers fail to realize how important preparation and planning actually is to the selling process until its too late. But when the preparation and planning is handled correctly the actual selling process tends to go much smoother and stress free. So here is some advice on how to properly prepare and plan to help ensure that your home selling experience is a success.

1.)   Hire A Professional: It is very important that you hire a professional to help you through the selling process and get the word out on your home. The right real estate agent will make your selling process less stressful and their experience and knowledge will help you sell your home quicker and at a more premium selling price. Try to find an agent who specializes in your area and has a proven record of success.

2.)   Clean And Keep Clean: Most sellers understand the importance of cleaning their home but don’t understand the importance of keeping it clean especially if they are still living in the home. It is very important to give your home a complete scrub down and then try your best to keep it that way until you get your home sold. Every little thing you can do to ensure your home stays clean can really help you sell your home quick and at a premium price.

3.)   Set The Stage: Home staging is a very important and valuable tool that can really help increase the appeal of your home to potential buyers. The goal of setting the stage is to make your home feel as comfortable and inviting that you possible can so that potential buyers fall in love with your home. Staging involves a variety of things that range from de-cluttering and de-personalizing to rearranging your furniture in a more appealing way.

4.)   Understand Your Home’s True Value: Selling your home can be a very emotionally charged experience and if you can’t control your emotions it can greatly affect the sale of your home. The true value of your home has nothing to do with your memories, needs, or wants. You should use data from comparable homes that have recently sold in the past six months to help determine the market vale of your home and help you set an accurate and reasonable asking price.
