Thinking of Selling your house? Start here!

I have been a realtor in the Sioux Falls and surrounding areas for over 16 years. In that time, I have come up with a few tips and ideas to help my sellers go from a listing to a sale!

~First and most important, Declutter/Depersonalize!
You are moving anyways right? Why not pack up AT LEAST 1/2 of your items? It works well both for saving time when it does come to move and it allows possible buyers to imagine their items in the space. You may enjoy your things, but others might have a different taste. They are not buying your things, they are buying your house. They may spend more time looking at your things or trying to decide if they know anyone in the photos around your home than actually looking at your home!

~Clean, Clean, Clean!
This is always a never ending task, but it is more important than ever when trying to sell your home!

~Look at current listings to see what they may be doing right (or wrong).
The best way to get an idea of what else is out there on the market (as well as your competition) look around at current listings in your particular area.

~Google your address.
I doubt you have ever thought of doing this, but potential buyers might! You might as well make sure you know what is out there on the internet about your home or area!
