How to Prepare to Sell Your Home

Moving is a big step, and so is knowing how to prepare to sell your home. If you've ever considered
selling, you probably understand that it's not a hasty decision to make. It takes valuable time and a
whole lot of effort.
That's why we recommend that you understand exactly how to prepare to sell your home before
you put up that For Sale sign!

To make it easy for you, we've created a checklist to help you through the most important steps.
Your Checklist:

Take a moment to consider each of the following questions.

1. Have you contacted a real estate agency?
Trying to sell your home without a real estate agent can be a nightmare. To ensure a smooth
process, contact a real estate expert in your area today.

2. Has a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) been performed?
Comparing your property to others on the market will help you determine the correct price
for your home.

3. Are you aware of any defects to your home?
It's very important that you share any and all defects with your real estate agent as soon as
possible. Transparency is a must in the process of selling your home effectively.

4. Is your home ready to be shown off?
This is often a difficult question to ask, but so necessary! If you're looking to sell your home,
you must be willing to have people see it. Perhaps this will entail decluttering, rearranging,
or implementing a deep-clean sooner rather than later.

5. Are you prepared to seal the deal?
At the end of the day, you're looking to accept the perfect offer on your home. Are you
realistic about your asking price, and are you ready to let go and move on?
