The decision to sell your house can be exciting and overwhelming all at once. There are some things home sellers can do to alleviate the stress. Start with a game plan using the five tips below for a less-stress selling experience.
Get to know the real estate market: Knowing the ins-and-outs of the real estate landscape is helpful, so you know what you’re getting into and you can manage your expectations. Some things to consider are average sale price on your street, potential interest rate increases or reductions in the near future, and whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market.
Prepare your paperwork: Prepare things like utility bills, tax bills, renovation details, warranties, mortgage details, survey and rental contracts.
Declutter: Getting rid of unused items and furniture will make your move easier, and potential buyers will respond better to a clean, clutter-free home. It takes many years to accumulate all that “stuff” so be realistic about how long it will take to clear it out. Try tackling one room per day, starting with the basement!
Start stocking up on boxes and moving supplies: As you get ready for the move, keep an eye open for supplies that may be useful. Stock up on old newspapers and collect old or unused boxes from your office or local grocery store.
Find a good real estate agent: Agreed, we have a bias when it comes to a DIY home sale versus working with an experienced pro. Contact us to find out more.
