Are You Considering Selling Your Home?

Selling your home can be a highly stressful process. You want to net the most money for your home, yet price your home attractively enough to encourage an offer from the buyer. With the advent of the recent foreclosure activity, prices have been holding steady. How do you compete with the influx of competition?

Here are some ideas:

• Request a complimentary CMA (comparative market analysis). Find out what your home is worth by looking at comparables from those properties that have recently sold
  
• Register for home searching online to see what new homes are going on the market in your neighborhood.
  
• Select an agent who you feel comfortable with your largest asset. Can your agent answer these questions?
  
• Prepare your home for sale. Making your home attractive to the potential buyer will give you a leg up on the competition.
  
• Price it right! Get ahead of the rolling ball with your initial list price.
  
• Market it effectively. Make sure your home's information is in the hands of every available buyer who's looking in this price range
