Angie will help answer a question that I get all the time: What are the three essential tips when selling your home?The three most important things are pricing your home right, staging it, and making a good first impression with professional photography.Pricing your home is extremely important. Angie recommends pricing your home a hair below market value. You will get a stampede of buyers and multiple offers. Another option would be range pricing, where you have the buyer's wish low price and the seller's hopeful high price. That way, you can negotiate the price to somewhere in between.Staging your home is crucial. You're going to move, so you may as well start packing. Start depersonalizing your home. Put everything away, and reduce items in your closets and cabinets by 50%.The second step in home staging is to walk through your home with a Realtor and a handyman. Have them give you a list of things that will help get your home sold. There could be quite a few things you don't know about that would be simple, cost effective ways of fixing your home, including getting higher wattage light bulbs to make your home as bright and cheery as possible.When it comes to first impressions, photography is key. 95% of buyers are starting their home search online. If you don't have great photos or a video, they will just move on to the next one. You want to have professional photos of your home online in order to entice buyers. If you have any other questions about today's topic, you can contact Angie at 619-813-6602 or email Angela@SanDiegoHomesForSale.com. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call or send me an email. We would love to hear from you.
