The key step to making your home look desirable is ensuring a thorough cleaning of all areas of the house.

After the deep cleaning, your home should be clutter and odor free before you put up the first for sale sign. #cleaningyourhome

Pricing is the next thing you will need to get right the first time. Potential buyers will be discouraged if the price is too high and will skip viewing the home. Overpriced homes have fewer people lining up to look at them.

One of the most reliable ways to properly price your home is by finding out the recent sales price of other homes in your area. You can talk to other sellers, check the newspaper, or contact buyers who have recently moved to the area.

Pricing your home between 5 and 10 percent higher than your researched amount should net you an appropriate sum..
