HIRE THE RIGHT AGENT
• Interview different agents, don’t just go off a friend’s referral • Hire an agent that is going to tell you the truth about your home (what it’s true value is, what needs changing/fixing) • See their selling rate and read their reviews
DON’T DO “FOR SALE BY OWNER”
• May not get accurate value for your home • There us no second chance for a first impression • May hurt value or take away negotiation strength
FIX THOSE GLARING ISSUES BEFORE YOU LIST
• Fix obvious issues with your home that would send buyers running • Replace broken windows or doors • Clear your gutters and roof • Replace damaged screen or faucets

SOCIAL NORTHSHORE
• Take personal items out of the home • Choose a neutral paint color for interior rooms • Pick a bright color for the door to add curb appeal • You want potential buyers to envision themselves in your home • “No smell” is the perfect smell • Add a new light fixture to give a modern look • Bring a pop of color with greenery or fake plants
GET PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
• 51% of buyers purchased a home they found online That means that your photos could cinch the deal before a buyer even sees the house. • Shoot on a sunny day • Remove miscellaneous items (tv remotes, face wash on bathroom counter, etc)
