We have had a lot of success meeting with Central Valley sellers and getting their homes sold quickly for a great price. I have seven tips for getting top dollar that I give to clients selling their homes, and I wanted to share them with you.
- Fix anything that's broken. Anything from cracked windows to torn screens to loose cabinet pulls; take care of them before your home goes on the market.
- Clean, clean, clean. Nobody wants to move in onto somebody else's dirt. Clean top to bottom, including light fixtures and under the furniture.
- Paint. Touch up or repaint if you must. Get rid of colors that don't appeal to the masses, and definitely touch up any marring on the walls, baseboards, trim, and doors.
- Stage professionally. We include a staging consultation with our services because we think this is invaluable to the seller. Our stager has an eye for making your home appeal to buyers, and makes your move easier.
- Curb appeal. Our stager takes this into account too. Be aware of what will be going through the buyer's mind when they pull up to the house. You want to have the best looking house on the block - pretty flowers, a green lawn, and that kind of thing.
- Professional photography. We also include this in our services, because having crummy pictures online won't bring you top dollar. In fact, some buyers will eliminate your home from their search before they even come out to see it.
- Price your home correctly. This might be the most important thing you can do. If you list too high, you'll waste precious time on the market. If you price correctly, a lot of people will come through, and if you follow the other six steps, you may even get multiple offers.
