Now is a great time to sell your home, so we have four tips to help you have a successful sale this spring and summer.

1. Price your home correctly. A lot of sellers think that they can price their home high and just negotiate with the buyer down the road. However, homes that are priced at market value get the most attention, the most showings, and the best offers.

2. Don’t overimprove your home. Some sellers put so much money into their home thinking they will get $10 back for every dollar they spend, only to end up getting 10 cents on the dollar. Don’t invest too much money in home improvements.

3. Don’t limit the showings. Showings can be hard to deal with, but it’s really important that you allow people to come in and actually look at your home. If you limit showings, you risk working with a smaller pool of buyers.

Make sure your home is available for showings.

4. Don’t sell your property by yourself. 85% of For Sale By Owner properties end up hiring a listing agent to get their home sold. After all, we know what we’re doing.
