Selling your home: 10 things to consider. #8 & #9

8. Preparing your house for sale involves much more than just sticking a For Sale sign in your front yard. To increase your chances of an efficient, top- dollar sale, obtain a good house inspection to discover problems before they become deal killers, do the right corrective and cosmetic work before putting your property on the market, and time the marketing of your house to coincide with a strong selling season in your area.

9. “What’s it worth?” is the most critical question you’ll ask when selling your house. To get the answer, examine sales of houses comparable to yours in size, age, condition, and location (a good agent can assist you). Price your house right, and it will sell, because informed buyers recognize the value after seeing other houses with unrealistically high asking prices.
