Real  Estate

Think you can sell your home yourself, and pocket the cash you would otherwise pay a real estate agent?

​

Your Real Estate Agent should be someone you feel comfortable working with, whom you trust to sell your house for top dollar. Don't be afraid to talk to a few Real Estate Agents before picking one.

Do a clean sweep of counters, windowsills, tables, and all other visible areas, and then tackle behind closed doors: closets, drawers, and cupboards—since virtually nothing is off-limits for curious buyers.

​

If the house is overflowing with stuff, buyers might worry that the house won’t have ample space for their own belongings. They won't sign up to pay a mortgage if they think they'll also have to rent a storage space.

It's a small thing, sure, but you’d be surprised by the negative effect a loose handle or missing lightbulb can have on a buyer.

​

“It can make them stop and think ‘What else is broken here?’"

​

For a buyer, submitting an offer, and later committing to a mortgage, is a big deal. When you're selling your home, you don't want to give any buyers doubt that your house will make a great home.
