Helping to Sell Your House Quickly

February 16, 2007

Here are some strategies a homeseller should follow to help to sell a house quickly in a slower real estate marketplace.

1. Do your best to see the house as a product to be market - not as your home.

2. Consider getting a professional inspection to know what might need to be repaired and to
show that you are prepared to disclose the condition of the house to any prospective buyers.

3. Stand back and look at the house. Ask yourself as objectively as possible :"Would you buy
this house?"

4. Make certain that your house is fresher, cleaner and better maintained than your
competition.

5. Pack away all your "cherished collections" including family pictures. Buyers need to look at
the features of the house, not your memories.

If you start with these 5 steps, you will be setting the stage for a quick sale at the highest possible price.
