3 Expert Tips for Selling a Home

We have extensive experience in the industry and in local markets that means we can find an ideal buyer. We understand that selling a home can be an intimidating prospect, so to help you prepare for it, here are three expert tips on how to get the best results from this process.

• Increase Curb Appeal. One essential step for selling a home is to increase the curb appeal. First impressions are everything, so the last thing you want is to sour a potential buyer’s perception before they even walk in the door. Naturally, the particulars of your yard care routine will vary by season, but make sure everything looks neat before you open your home to viewers.
• Reduce Clutter. Another tip you’ll encounter a lot when it comes to selling your home is to reduce clutter, and we at the Hawkins/Ryerse Real Estate Group are here to add our names to the list of its adherents. Potential buyers want to be able to envision their lives and belongings in your space, and it’s difficult for them to do that if your home is too crowded with your own stuff. We recommend that you sort through your possessions and discard anything you don’t need. It’s also a good idea to take down family photos or other highly personal items.
• Hire a Realtor. While the above two tips are important, the best thing you can do when it comes to selling your home quickly and for the best price is hire a professional realtor. Real estate professionals such the members of the Hawkins/Ryerse Real Estate Group have the expertise you need in order to handle a wide variety of tasks in the best way, from correctly pricing your home to arranging viewings.
