One of the most difficult times during home selling process is actually the time before you put your home on the market for sale. It’s a huge decision that is not limited to the sale of your personal home that you live in. You may be thinking of selling an investment property or settling an estate. It’s not unusual for a home seller to take months to make this decision, and for all situations the goal is the same, a successful sale.

Take time to prepare, make a plan with a timeline of things that need to be done to make the home “market ready”. Good first impressions are not only seen by prospective buyers but also the real estate professionals will be anxious to show your home and word spreads fast when great properties hit the market.

Keep in mind that when the sign goes up, the excitement begins!
