Selling your home can be overwhelming, but there are five simple steps you can take to ensure a successful home sale.

1. Understand the market you are in. You need to know how many homes are on the market, how many are selling every month, and how many new listings are coming on the market. You should also know if you are in a buyer’s or seller’s market and what the average days on market is. Having all of this information will help you make the right decisions for a successful sale. 

2. Prepare your home well for the market. Once you go on the market, buyers will compare your property to all the other homes on the market, as well as homes that have recently sold. If your home is prepared and presents well, you will have a successful sale.

3. Make your home accessible for showings. Buyers and agents will be eager to get into the home and see it at their convenience. Make sure you have a system in place to set up showings for any interested buyers.

4. Price your home strategically. Deciding your list price is extremely important. The list price will either position your home to succeed or sit on the market based on the competition. Price your home competitively based on current listings and recently sold, similar properties.

5. Hire a strong listing agent. The point of a listing agent is to net you the most money possible. Don’t count on a buyer’s agent to give you a smooth closing, as their responsibility is to the buyer. A listing agent will represent your best interests during the transaction.
