How to Sell Your House for the Most Value

When you are ready to sell your home, you are probably concerned with getting the most value out of the sale as possible so that you can not only get out of it what you have put into it over the years, but be able to walk away from the sale feeling as if you did the right thing. There are many simple ways that you can be sure that you will be selling your home for the most value and can ensure that you will be passing along a house that will mean as much to the new owner as it did to you.

1. Hire an experienced Realtor® - One of the best ways to ensure that you will get what your home is worth when you sell it is by hiring an experienced, seasoned Realtor® like Karyn and Kimberly Schonherz.


2. Make it look great - Prepare your home to sell. Clean everything from the walls to the carpets, and even inside cabinets. Paint or wallpaper rooms and put in new carpet if your home needs it. The better it looks, the more you can sell the house for.


3. Make the home seem more open - Reduce clutter by getting rid of things you know you will not want in your new home. If you are showing the house before you move out, having more open space in the house will make it seem larger.


4. Get an appraisal - Having a professional come do an appraisal is an excellent way to know your exact home value.


5. Marketing - Exposure will help people know that your house is for sale. A good real estate agent will ensure that your listing is posted in a large local newspaper as well as posting signs in yards and even at the corner pointing down to your home.


6. Patience - While it might seem gratifying to get an offer the first day your home is listed, have some patience. Homes can be listed for sale for twenty one (21) days before being considered stale, and if the first offer is not quite what you hoped for, ask your real estate agent if it is prudent at this point in time to be a bit more patient. A better offer may come in.

Selling your home for the most value isn't hard if you follow the steps above. The number one step, hiring a seasoned real estate professional is certainly one of the most important. If you are ready to sell your home for the most value, then call Karyn and Kimberly Schonherz today at 714-283-6653 and get started on the road to selling.
