Today we're going to be talking about

prepping your house for sale. What are

the 6 tips that could really help you

get your home ready to put on the market.

Number one would be to meet with your

agent. Your agent can save you a lot of

time and energy by guiding you through

the pre listing phase. They're there to

serve you and help you decide if listing

your home is the right option for you.

Number two is to prequalify to buy. Now

this is the stuff that many sellers forget

to do and you want to make sure that

you're able to get a mortgage if you

need one to move into another home.

Working with a reputable mortgage pro

will help you understand what you need

to net from your current home and

achieve your goals for the next one.

Number three, price correctly. Listing

your home at the proper market value is

critical to selling within a reasonable

time frame. Number four pre-inspect. Home

inspections are often where the sale of

a home can go wrong. Material defects may

need to be repaired prior to a buyer

purchasing the home. Determine these

potential fixes before you list instead

of during the negotiation process. Number

5, our most fun one, is to declutter... just kidding.

If your house is cluttered and filled

with very personal mementos it's very

hard for the buyer to picture themselves

or imagine themselves in your home.

Here's an example of what decluttering your

home might look like - would you rather

have your room look like this or would

you rather have your room look like this.

Placing large pieces of furniture or

family photos in storage is worth the

effort to make your home sell quicker.

Number 6, professional photography. The

modern day home search usually starts

online and first impressions are very

important. Make sure your real estate

agent uses a professional photographer

to show your home in the best light. We

have a video here

where you can see behind the scenes

sold in four days. So that's it! 6 tips

that you can use to prep your home for

sale and we have a free download for you.
