What I’d Do If I Was Selling

Here’s what I would do if I was selling my house today, as a real estate agent.

Number one, I would price it right the first time. Overpriced homes can linger on the market, which can lead to lower offers down the line. I would conduct a thorough market analysis, which your agent can do for you, to help you set the right price based on comparable properties in your area and current market conditions.

Number two, I would stage my home. I know firsthand how important that first impression is. Keeping the home meticulously clean, decluttered, and in excellent condition is paramount. I might even consider hiring a professional home stager to ensure my home appeals to a broad spectrum of potential buyers.

Number three, I would double down on marketing. I would intensify my marketing efforts. Even in a challenging market, potential buyers exist. I would focus on ensuring they find my property amidst the competition.

Of course, that’s where a real estate professional comes in!
