Preparing to Sell? So you’ve decided to sell your home - now what? Knowing what to expect and having a solid game plan will help keep you and your objectives on track. Here is an overview of the selling process and how to best prepare for this complex transaction: Make sure that you have a thorough understanding of why you’re selling your home. Create a list that outlines each of your reasons; you may need it later if you get cold feet. Get your house in shape to show. This means cleaning up the interior and making sure the exterior enhances the home's curb appeal. Now also is a good time to make any cosmetic fixes that can increase your property’s salability. Consider obtaining a pre-sale home inspection. The report will help quell your anxieties about the unknown issues the homebuyer’s inspector may find. Prepare for negotiations by outlining the concessions you’re willing to make and those you won’t even consider. The list will come in handy when you’re in the throes of heated negotiations.
