So You Think You Want To Sell

Sometimes you get a wild idea that you want to move. Sometimes your job tells you that a move is in your future. Life can even determine what you will need to do. Whether you know it is coming or think it might, here are a few things you can do now without listing your house.

You can always ask an agent in your area for a free market analysis of the area, and even your specific neighborhood. Knowing what is going on is important because it can help determine price ranges for listing, what you can do to improve your house, and if it is even a good idea to move if the choice is yours.

Request an appraisal. You know what you paid, you know the emotional value, but do you know the real value? Even though people can guess what they think it would be around – an appraisal is not a bad idea of you are on the more serious side of selling.

Get rid of the eyesores! You know you always talk about getting rid of the once red, now orange shutters. The large half dead tree in the back. The cracked bricks in the flower beds. Use this as motivation to fix all the things you said you would. You may get a better price, provide more curb appeal to buyers, to loving your house again.

Sometimes it just takes one or two things to figure out what it is that you need to do. To sell or not to sell – this may make your decision easier if it is up to you!
