The following articles are a great place to start if you're looking for information about the sales process and how you can get more for your home when you decide to sell.

Start planning early

Start weeding out your current possessions. Throw out, give away, or sell the things that you don’t want to move at a yard sale.

Start packing early

Anything that you are sure you will not be using before moving day should get boxed. Store these items in the basement, garage or a storage rental.

Identify your home’s flaws or problems

Sellers are obligated to disclose any major problems or flaws in the structure or property, including things like dry rot, termites and asbestos. The disclosure requirements vary by state, but if you fail to mention the leaky roof or flooding basement, you could be sued for fraud. There is really no upside to trying to hide problems anyway since most buyers will have the home inspected before closing.

Get the house in “showcase” condition

Small cosmetic touches can increase your home’s value by thousands. Mostly we would ask you to clean, clean and clean, and then do some painting.

Decide what goes and what stays

Before you start showing your home, you need to decide what will be included in the sale. We will supply you with a checklist of what you will be including in the sale of your home. If that dining room chandelier is a family heirloom and you just have to take it with you it would be better to replace this prior to showing so that no problems arise later on. If you want to take your washer and dryer with you, tell serious buyers before negotiations start.
