When listing your home for sale, you must decide what is most important. Do you want to spend the time, energy, and money to spruce up your home to sell for the highest price? Or is it important to sell with the least effort? The Realtor you select should help you make that decision. Before you choose your Realtor, do some research. Check their online reviews and ask for references. Your Realtor should give you guidance on the following:
Improving Curb Appeal

Decluttering
Picture a builder’s model home. Remove most items from countertops. Thin out collections.
Depersonalizing
Personal photos are distracting. Allow the buyer to visualize their family living in your home.
Removing valuables and personal papers
Identity theft is a concern. Remove jewelry and other easy-to-remove (steal) valuables.
Making minor repairs
Minor repairs such as leaky faucets, and broken switch plates should be addressed. Click here for my preferred vendor list.
