Make Your Home Stand Out in Your Neighborhood

When your home has excellent curb appeal, it will stand out in your neighborhood and attract more buyers. Start by making some basic changes like repairing fences, redoing flowerbeds and trimming trees. 

Then, take this strategy a little further by adding something new and different to your yard. Think water features, garden pathways, trellises or decorative fences.

Be Willing and Ready to Host Open Houses 

Your real estate agent will take care of scheduling, advertising and hosting your open houses, but you should be ready to and willing to have your home staged to show off its best features. Open houses are one of the best ways to generate interest in your home and can help you get more offers.

Let Your Friends Help You Sell

While your agent will take care of advertising your home, you can help out by spreading the word that you are selling. Letting your friends know that you are looking for a buyer may help you sell it faster, as they may know someone who is in the market.

One of the best things you can do to sell your home is work with a real estate agent this year. An experienced agent will help you prepare your home for sale, advertise the listing and show your home.
