A lot of sellers have been asking me, "What keeps a home from selling?"There are a few things that you as the seller can take care of in order to make the process successful.

First of all, you need to prepare your home properly. Buyers today are extremely visual. They want to buy a move-in ready home. One of our listing programs includes a certified pre-owned home program, where one of our home inspection partners does a pre-inspection on the home. That way, you know what repairs you need to address before showing the home.We also provide you with a home staging checklist, which is the key to a smooth process and getting the top range of market value.

Second of all, you need to price the home correctly. The strategy of where you position your home in the market is a key part of our marketing.We'll go through the market range and your competition to determine the price. Ultimately, the listing price is your decision, because we're working with your money, not ours. Paying attention to what the market tells us is a key part of that success.

Finally, keep the home available for showings. I know it can be difficult when you have kids or pets, but making it easier for buyers to view your home exposes it to more of the market and makes the process more successful.
