TO HELP YOU GET STARTED, THE FOLLOWING IS AN OUTLINE OF A FEW KEY STEPS WE'LL TAKE IN PROMOTING YOUR HOME.

1. PREPARING TO SELL

Before your property moves onto the market, you should review the home selling tips and make sure your home is dressed to sell. Taking note of these key ideas is critical in giving that best FIRST impression. It only takes 15 seconds for a prospective buyer to form an opinion of the property when they drive up. If there are items out of place, broken windows or even minor flaws, chances are they'll not walk away with a good impression.

2. LEARN IT'S VALUE BEFORE YOU LIST

It is imperative that a CMA, or Comparative Market Analysis be performed before you list. A CMA will tell you how much your property is potentially worth. Timing is important with this analysis because it takes into consideration how much other similar properties are listed for currently and how much similar properties have sold for. We'll prepare this document at NO CHARGE to you so that you know what to consider as a listing price.

Here are a few things to consider if you price your home too high. A home listed too high could...

• Make other homes more attractive and can actually help sell the competition.

• Fewer prospective buyers will be interested.

• Fewer prospects will respond to the advertising.

• And, you may lose buyers who are willing to negotiate.
