2. Always Be Ready to Show
When selling a home, you want to make it as easy as possible for potential buyers to view it. Keep your home clean and tidy at all times, and be prepared for last-minute showings.
Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the bathrooms sparkling, and make sure there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It may be inconvenient, but it will increase your chances of selling your home quickly.
4. Depersonalize Your House
When potential buyers view your home, they want to be able to envision themselves living there. This can be difficult if your home is filled with personal items such as family photos or collectibles.
To make it easier for buyers to imagine themselves in your home, remove personal items and declutter. Consider hiring a home stager to help you maximize your home’s potential.
6. Conceal Pets
Not everyone is a pet lover, and potential buyers may be turned off by the presence of animals in your home.
Make sure to send your pets to a pet hotel or a friend’s house during an open house or viewing. This will prevent any unpleasant smells or messes from turning off buyers.
8. Half-Empty Closets
Storage is a top priority for many buyers, and you can make your home more appealing by showcasing the storage space you have available.
Take half the stuff out of your closets and neatly organize what’s left. Buyers will appreciate the extra space and be able to visualize their own belongings in the closet.
10. Choose the Right REALTOR for YOU
While last on this list – it should be TOP OF MIND! Choosing the right real estate agent is crucial to selling your home quickly and for the best value and can have the biggest impact on the overall process for your selling experience.
Look for an agent who is tech-savvy and has a strong online presence. They should be familiar with your neighborhood and have experience selling homes similar to yours. Most importantly, the Right REALTOR for you will be available when you need, able to communicate throughout the process AND help YOU to feel confident during the sale.
1. The First Impression
The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see, and it can make or break their decision to view the property.
Make sure your home’s exterior is clean, tidy, and welcoming. Plant some flowers, trim the hedges, and give your front door a fresh coat of paint. Creating an inviting entrance will set the tone for the rest of the viewing.
3. The Kitchen Can Sell the Home
The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house when it comes to selling. It’s the heart of the home, and buyers want to see a modern, functional space.
You don’t have to do a complete remodel, but some updates can go a long way. Consider painting the cabinets, replacing the hardware, and upgrading one or two appliances to give the kitchen a fresh, modern look.
5. Limit Upgrades
While it’s important to make some updates to your home before selling, it’s also important not to go overboard. Mammoth makeovers may not pay off in the end, and you may not recoup your investment.
Instead, focus on quick fixes such as a fresh coat of paint, new curtains, and updated hardware. These updates will make your home look fresh and modern without breaking the bank.
7. Keep it Bright
Good lighting is essential when it comes to selling your home. Make sure your home is bright and cheery by taking down heavy drapes, cleaning the windows, and increasing the wattage of your light bulbs.
You can also cut back bushes and trees outside to let in more natural light. A bright and cheery home is more inviting and will make it more sellable.
9. Price it Right
Pricing your home correctly is crucial to a successful sale. While it may be tempting to price your home high, it’s important to be realistic.
Research the market and find out what similar homes in your area are selling for. Consider pricing your home 15 to 20 percent lower than the competition. This will attract more potential buyers and may even lead to multiple bids and a higher sale price.

I recently worked with Rob Jagielski and RH2L in an effort to find a new home. I cannot express enough the respect and gratitude I have for Rob and RH2L. With their assistance, I was able to find the perfect home for me and I couldn’t be happier. Rob and Tammy both had my back when an unpleasant situation presented itself during the search process and they continue to represent me even after I purchased a home.
Again, many thanks to Rob and Tammy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. 😊

Tammy is so professional, hard working, knowledgeable and committed. She did an excellent job on selling our home. The market price we were in has been difficult and Tammy blew away all the other realtors. The buyers realtor was obnoxious and difficult and non professional. It cost the buyer more money in the end. Tammy held her ground and backed us up all the way. In the end she sold our home way above what our goal was. She is THE best.

Seller FAQs
How long will it take to sell my house?
There are multiple factors that help determine the time on the market for your property: Condition of the home, price, how the market is (HOT or TYPICAL) and also the current interest rates and price point for potential buyers. Some of the perceived items in “our control” will be able to adjust – but some items are just right time right place and the right pool of buyers being exposed to the property to make the deal happen on the desired time-frame you need.
Do I have to make repairs / updates to my house before I list it?
Obviously, everyone has a different set of circumstances as to why they are selling and what their ability is to make repairs or do updates before or as part of the sale. These are things we can discuss in person, to help establish the best strategic plan to NET you the most money, with the least amount of effort; however, realize, homes that are in their BEST updated condition will go for a higher price and in a faster time “usually”.
Do I need to put all of my things into storage?
Obviously, if you are still living in the home – the need to put everything in storage is going to be less necessary. Things you don’t need or that can be stored would benefit you to have the appearance of less “stuff” in the house / bigger spaces available and less distractions. IF you are not living in the house and it is vacant (except for all the stuff that was left behind) – it will show BETTER if it is cleaned out and no one will feel like everything will come with the house for them to deal with cleaning out.
I want to sell - but need to buy, what do I do first?
This is a very good / difficult question and especially when inventory levels are low – it is difficult as a seller to decide to leave the place you are in – for what could be the unknown. What we will discuss is your NEEDS vs WANTS and then make a plan to see how best we can work with the current market conditions. If you can SELL in a HOT market (you’ll typically benefit from the higher sale price/terms) but you may also then be stuck buying in those same conditions. Ideally, if you don’t have to BUY right away and want to take a bit of time, renting could be a good alternative for the cycle to switch and to help gain you better BUYER’s market conditions. We understand that is not always an option – but that is considered a WIN / WIN.
