Selling a house can be an intimidating process, but with the right plan and resources, you can ensure that you’ll get top dollar for your home. This post will provide the essential steps to follow in order to create a successful housing marketing plan and maximize your return.

Hire a Real Estate Agent

Finding a qualified real estate agent is key to getting your home on the market. Look for someone with an established track record in your local area who understands what it takes to get homes sold and will work alongside you every step of the way. A good real estate agent should have experience dealing with buyers, know how to effectively market your home, and maintain open communication with you during the entire selling process.  Though you can sell your house without using a realtor, a realtor is part of the MLS where thousands of qualified buyers are working with other realtors as well to find houses.  A realtor is still the leading cause of record real estate sales.

Aggressive Pricing

Anything that is priced right always sells.  Anything that is priced way above market value tends to sit until it goes on sale.  This is the same thing in real estate sales.  You want to price your home based on the comparable homes within the area with adjustments based on the new upgrades or new features and benefits added in  recent years.  

The goal is to always get multiple offers.  Multiple offers will cause a bidding war against your home.  In order to get multiple offers, you have to be priced aggressively within the market, which will drive showings and will most likely equal into receiving many offers.

Staging A Home

The first impressions matter a lot.  Setting your home to stand out in the eyes of a home buyer as they pull up to the curb is very critical to the success of selling your home for the highest price.

Tidying up, repairing items, painting, staging are some of the steps you can take to getting the home staged.  A house is a product, it must be properly presented to sell vs the others.
